That's life...
You don't always choose what is happening around you; sometimes for the worst and sometimes for the best.
And speaking of the best- today we are releasing... [drumroll please]...
PANDEMIC: the famous board game by Matt Leacock!
*So it is your turn to save planet earth... again?!
The game won too many awards worldwide to display them here. Although many of you probably already know about the game, we want to drop a few lines about the game for those who don't.
In Pandemic, several virulent diseases have broken out simultaneously all over the world! The players are disease-fighting specialists whose mission is to treat disease hotspots while researching cures for each of the four plagues before they get out of hand.
The game board depicts several major population centers on a map. On each turn, a player can use up to four actions to travel between cities, to treat infected populaces, to discover a cure, or to build a research station. A deck of cards provides the players with these abilities, but sprinkled throughout this deck are Epidemic cards that accelerate and intensify the diseases' activity. A second, separate deck of cards controls the "normal" spread of the infections.
Taking a unique role within the team, players must plan their strategy to mesh with their specialists' strengths in order to conquer the diseases. For example: the Operations Expert can build research stations which are needed to find cures for the diseases and which allow for greater mobility between cities; the Scientist needs only four cards of a particular disease to cure it instead of the normal five— but the diseases are spreading quickly and time is running out. If one or more diseases spreads beyond recovery or if too much time elapses, the players all lose. If they cure the four diseases, they all win!
What's up with the Board Game Arena version, Doc?
The 2013 edition of Pandemic you can play on BGA includes two new characters—the Contingency Planner and the Quarantine Specialist—not available in earlier editions of the game.
You can play it here in Training mode to learn about the game mechanics, but you will also be able to choose a few options depending on your own preferences: 3 difficulty modes with closed or open hands, a Solo mode with different characters, etc.
And because we know you will ask: There are currently no expansions included. 😉
**Take a look at the game right now here:

The whole team is pleased to offer you a larger cooperative game now on Board Game Arena during these times, where you can join forces to win a game or two against Pandemic.
Nothing would have been possible without the help of the publisher, Z-Man Games, and their team-members: you rock!
Of course, our warm thanks go to designer Matt Leacock, and our wonderful developer, Moof, for bringing such a deep game to the platform.
As usual, the game has been tested over and over, but do not hesitate to post any bugs on the **Bug Report **page. Also, remember that you can help translate the game from the Community pages, for... the community.
BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!
During the next few weeks, we will offer an opportunity for you to play against the Z-Man Games team, and maybe against MATT LEACOCK himself!
If it happens, you will also be able to enter a raffle for some prizes like [redacted].
So keep an eye on our social network accounts Twitter, Facebook or Instagram, as well as the official PANDEMIC page on Facebook : HERE.
Of course, there's even more coming.
And as the summer holidays are quite close now, why not doing a SUMMER GAMES CALENDAR?
(You didn't see that coming, did you?)
**YES !
**A calendar like the one we did last winter.
Everyday, a new game will be released for the next 62 days!
THAT'S 62 NEW GAMES TO COME!
Of course, they are not as big as this one, but they deserve your attention as well. Go on the BGA front page every day to click on the calendar and dig out the new games!
And if you come open them daily, you will unlock some very special achievements to show off on your account page.
We will, of course, keep the weekly releases with more popular games, but we think that it is a fun way to show off some other new games that deserves your attention.
That's it for now, have fun and see you next week!
PANDEMIKA: Kadar je kakršna koli podobnost z obstoječimi ali preteklimi situacijami povsem naključna ...
To je življenje...
Ne izbirate vedno, kaj se dogaja okoli vas; včasih v najslabšem in včasih v najboljšem.
In ko smo že pri najboljših - danes objavljamo ...
[drumroll prosim] ...
PANDEMIKA: slavna družabna igra Matta Leacocka!
Torej ste na vrsti vi, da rešite planet Zemljo ...
ponovno?!
Igra je prejela preveč nagrad po vsem svetu, da bi jih razstavila tukaj.
Čeprav mnogi od vas verjetno že veste za igro, želimo za tiste, ki je ne, dodati nekaj vrstic o igri.
V Pandemiji je po vsem svetu hkrati izbruhnilo več virulentnih bolezni!
Igralci so strokovnjaki za boj proti boleznim, katerih naloga je zdraviti žarišča bolezni, medtem ko raziskuje zdravila za vsako od štirih nadlog, preden jim uidejo izpod nadzora.
Igralna deska na zemljevidu prikazuje več glavnih populacijskih središč.
Na vsakem koraku lahko igralec uporabi do štiri akcije za potovanje med mesti, zdravljenje okuženih populacij, odkrivanje zdravila ali izgradnjo raziskovalne postaje.
Krov kart daje igralcem te sposobnosti, toda po tem krogu so posute karte epidemije, ki pospešujejo in stopnjujejo aktivnost bolezni.
Drugi, ločen špil kart nadzira "normalno" širjenje okužb.
Igralci, ki igrajo edinstveno vlogo v ekipi, morajo svojo strategijo združiti z močmi svojih strokovnjakov, da bi premagali bolezni.
Na primer: Operacijski strokovnjak lahko gradi raziskovalne postaje, ki so potrebne za zdravljenje bolezni in ki omogočajo večjo mobilnost med mesti; Znanstvenik potrebuje le štiri karte določene bolezni, da bi jo pozdravil namesto običajnih petih - vendar se bolezni hitro širijo in čas zmanjkuje.
Če se ena ali več bolezni razširi čez okrevanje ali če preteče preveč časa, vsi igralci izgubijo.
Če ozdravijo štiri bolezni, vsi zmagajo!
What's up with the Board Game Arena version, Doc?
The 2013 edition of Pandemic you can play on BGA includes two new characters—the Contingency Planner and the Quarantine Specialist—not available in earlier editions of the game.
Tu lahko igrate tukaj v načinu Trening, če želite spoznati mehaniko igre, lahko pa boste izbrali tudi nekaj možnosti glede na lastne želje: 3 težavnostni načini z zaprtimi ali odprtimi rokami, samostojni način z različnimi liki itd.
In ker vemo, da boste vprašali: Trenutno ni vključenih nobenih razširitev.
Oglejte si igro zdaj tukaj:

Celotna ekipa vam z veseljem ponuja večjo zadružno igro, ki je zdaj na Board Game Arena v teh časih, kjer lahko združite moči in dobite igro ali dve proti Pandemici.
Brez pomoči založnika, Z-Man Games in njihovih članov ekipe nič ne bi bilo mogoče: vi rock!
Seveda se toplo zahvaljujemo oblikovalcu Mattu Leacocku in našemu čudovitemu razvijalcu Moofu, ker sta na platformo pripeljala tako globoko igro.
Kot običajno je bila igra vedno znova preizkušena, vendar ne oklevajte in objavite kakršne koli napake na strani o poročilih o napakah.
Ne pozabite tudi, da lahko pomagate prevesti igro s strani skupnosti, saj ...
skupnost.
BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!
V naslednjih nekaj tednih vam bomo ponudili priložnost, da igrate proti ekipi Z-Man Games in morda tudi proti samemu MATT LEACOCK-u!
Če se to zgodi, boste lahko za nekatere nagrade, kot je [redificirano], vnesli tudi tombolo.
Zato bodite pozorni na naše račune v družabnih omrežjih Twitter, Facebook ali Instagram, pa tudi na uradni strani PANDEMIC na Facebooku: TUKAJ.
Seveda prihaja še več.
In ker so poletne počitnice že povsem blizu, zakaj ne bi naredili POLETNEGA KOLEDARJA IGRE?
(Saj tega niste videli, kajne?)
DA!
Koledar, kot smo ga naredili lansko zimo.
Vsak dan bo v naslednjih 62 dneh izhajala nova igra!
TO BO 62 NOVIH IGRE!
Seveda niso tako veliki kot ta, vendar si zaslužijo tudi vašo pozornost.
Vsak dan pojdite na naslovno stran BGA, da kliknete koledar in izkopljete nove igre!
In če jih boste odprli vsak dan, boste odklenili nekaj prav posebnih dosežkov, ki se bodo pokazali na strani vašega računa.
Seveda bomo obdržali tedenske izdaje z bolj priljubljenimi igrami, vendar menimo, da je zabaven način razkazovanja nekaterih drugih novih iger, ki si zaslužijo vašo pozornost.
To je za zdaj vse, zabavajte se in se vidimo naslednji teden!
