It seems like it has good tension which is required for a co-op game. The best part though was a couple crushing losses to start out to really push home that you have to play the game well to have a chance.<BR/><BR/>In the plays I've had since it seems like effective management of the special powers of the group is key. Use the Dispatcher to move people around to set up trades for cures or to get four extra uses of the Medic's eradicate ability per round. The Scientist for cheap cures. The Operations Specialist for easy travel and the Researcher for easy trades.<BR/><BR/>It is also key to try and prevent outbreaks. You know where the hot spots are from looking at the board, so you know where the at risk locations are after an epidemic. That means you know which locations that need maintenance to keep the game from getting out of hand quickly. Even pulling a single disease marker from one or two locations can make a huge difference.<BR/><BR/>Glad you like Zooleretto. It's good fun. Especially good with families. I'm curious to see what Aquaretto will add to the game when the two are combined.Greg Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04653347780730520507noreply@blogger.com
