In Pandemic Legacy I ditched the usual ball point pens, went to fine tipped sharpie marker & never looked back.

E: "sharpie ultra fine point" to be specific

Sheesh my condolences. I think the kind of good design present in Pandemic Legacy is conspicuous by its absence and it sounds like that definitely happened.

I'd be willing to play through it out of curiosity, but maybe that's because I like playing games multiple times to try different things but most people I play with learn and play a game just in time to pack it up and move on forever, so I'm primed for compensating in the other direction or something.

That's a pity. Sounds like it lacked focus.

One thing that sounds concerning is that for an economic game there should be no (or at least a minimum of) added rules that have an unclear implementation and scope.

I mean, I haven't seen for myself but this thread wouldn't be the first place I read people saying "when new rule X says I now get Z for Y does that mean to resolve it like A, B or C? And does that include Q?" Has anyone else run into that kind of stuff or is it not really a problem?

Just pile them up in the back beside the stacks of urinal pucks with Bin Laden's face on them I guess :effort:

A lesson I'm getting from reading people's takes is that excitement over opening boxes & getting changes (or anticipating opening new boxes) isn't enough to carry a game long term.
