Anyone else excited for the third (prequel!) Pandemic Legacy Game season 0?

We loved the first two so are looking forward to this whenever it comes!

I’m excited, but I really hope that it will actually be a sequel/prequel that brings Season 2 back to the beginning of Season 1 in some creative way.

Well it's bound to be good!

I've never actually played classic Pandemic

In fact I've got it somewhere here, but not unpacked it!

I'm not sure I could hack the legacy aspect, tearing up all those cards and components, and sticking things on the board. I'm sure it's good, but not sure I could do what it said without cheating, or making it temporary.

Yes it’s a very strange concept to rip up cards and write on the board etc. From memory I think season 1 would be easier to make the changes temporary but season 2 would be almost impossible.

Both are good but season 1 definitely better in my opinion!

I disagree entirely. Season 1 was just Pandemic with some random changes while Season 2 is a very different game with an interesting plot with real twists in it, especially if you played Season 1 first. That’s why I hope Season 0 is a sequel/prequel: the symbol on the boxes is a clock and clocks go round and round. It would make sense if the game is actually depicting a cycle.

Regarding destroying things, we were able to almost completely reset Season 1 after we finished by restoring all the “destroyed” cards and stuffing all the additional components away. All of the stickers came off easily without leaving tears or residue, although they aren’t reusable. It now functions as our normal Pandemic game if people ever come over and want to play.

You’re right actually there about how season one is basically the original fame with additions whereas season feels like a completely different game. I loved Season 2 as well. The plot, gameplay diversity and plot twist were better but I loved the first one because I was more surprised by being led or tricked by the game (attempting to be spoiler free ish!!). In the second one I guess I was expecting a plot twist and was therefore less surprised by it?

I also hope the plot of season 0 links well with the other two. I assume it will do from what I’ve read that it is supposed to complete a trilogy? A cyclical triology would be an interesting concept too!!

Maybe it will be covert/ spy based? Perhaps the story will be about the original pandemic and coverups?

We are about to start June. My wife loves this, but I don't like it as much as Season 2. I think my biggest gripes without getting spoilery is that the board doesn't change like it does in Season 2 AND curing a disease is much more fulfilling than building a van. This also seems super easy as we haven't lost yet.
