Thematically interesting
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.

This was an interesting story. Different from my normal reads but entertaining enough to hold my attention. This one kept my emotions running in all sorts of directions. I was never sure what was going to happen next and it hit on a lot of yoga information. Either the author did a lot of research or really enjoys yoga because she seemed to know what she was talking about. It was a lot of fun to read and I enjoyed it
