Some thoughts on our strategy/roles:

Any thoughts on roles for 2 players specifically and what others have found to work well? We did read the premise for February, and it seems like the game wants you to change how you approach completing the objectives, so obviously the strategy won't be static throughout, which is such a cool idea. We hosed up in our first games and maybe need to change it up with being a quarantine specialist and a researcher, e.g., for the next go.


Feb Spoilers

Medic + Researcher is good in my opinion. Medic can take Local Connections + Pilot which is great for getting to hot spots and wiping them out. Researcher works on your cures and other objectives, and because the Researcher is a new character, you can give her a relationship with your Medic, either Rivals or Co-Workers to get some remote card trading going.

The Quarantine Specialist is awesome in my opinion, but I played four player, so I'm not sure who to combo her with.

I imagine the Generalist wouldn't be bad in two player, because you could afford to pile on the upgrades to make the four upgrade slots count for something. In a four player game, you will have more upgrade slots to fill, so that bonus isn't nearly as appealing.

Or if you can't decide, play it four player with with two characters each. It will be a bit harder, because you'll need to spend more time trading cards between characters, but you'll be able to mix and match characters without having to worry about it too much.

Hey quick question --- we have been sooooo concerned that we follow the rules that we haven't actually named any diseases. Like, this has been a contentious debate at the table. I think we should name them because there's a spot on the sticker, but I've let it go because it's really just aesthetics.

Was there a rule somewhere that we missed that said it's time to start naming the diseases?

It happens when you eradicate a disease, see the Treat Diseases rule. I think most groups miss that and just name all four diseases after Jan because it's more fun that way.
