The game is a pandemic, rightly, award-winning cooperative game. The point is to prevent the spread of epidemics and diseases and to find cures for these with disastrous appearance. Everyone slips into different roles, such as the paramedics or the researcher, and thus has special abilities to act contrary to the spread. The manual is well written and after about 10 minutes can even play with the start. I got the game yesterday and we played it in these 2 days already 3 times. Simply a class game.
