Thematically interesting
Quarterbacking is a problem with players who have a varying degree of skill (0 more)
Pandemic is a lot of board gamers first cooperative game, and for that it has a lot of value. A lot of people have fond memories getting destroyed over and over, feeling that their first win was a big accomplishment. Unfortunately, after your first few wins, the game loses a lot of its charm. You start to recognize the patterns, and can pretty much tell within the first few terms if your group is going to win. As a result, this game is likely gathering dust in a lot of people's collections: too nostalgic to sell, but not good enough to play.

The game also suffers a lot of the basic problems of cooperative games. Experienced players quarterbacking is common. The randomness of the cards drawn is frustrating. The roles drawn don't always work well together (and can largely dictate if you win).

Overall, I would still recommend this to a new board gamer. But I would still probably recommend the Legacy versions more highly.

For anyone who can't get enough of this game!
The mobile version of this game works really well and it's also got some nice cards I haven't seen. The gameplay is very similar to the card game and the 3 ways of playing are great. The play with strangers feature is my favourite, as it create the most realistic gameplay. Also the instructions and tutorials are really straight forward and I think it would really help someone new learn to understand the basic game dynamics. There are in game purchases which allow you to buy extra decks, I'm not a fan of this and would have preferred to pay a bit for for the game for everything but then I understand why as it allows them to charge 1.99 for the game making it much more appealing to new players.
 If you enjoy playing exploding kittens the card game, I don't think you be disappointed with what they have achieved in this mobile version.

Lovely dice roller
This game is the successor to King of Tokyo, a game is beloved by many. Whilst I liked King of Tokyo, it bugged me that there was no board for when monsters are outside of Tokyo...a minor point, perhaps, but that's why I like that King of New York has a board that features all monsters in different areas of NYC. Additionally, this game alters the dice and includes buildings, that can be destroyed to give health or other benefits...sometimes, destroying a building can hurt you too. This additional optionality to the game made this a must play for me and some friends for about a year. I can't say it's had great staying power beyond this, but I have kept the game to teach my son when he is old enough, as I'm sure he will enjoy it too.
