5 Answers. Yes, you could play something very similar to vanilla Pandemic using just the base game components and ignoring all the Legacy elements. The board is slightly different, but you probably won’t even notice. You can really only do this before you start playing the legacy version though.
Can you play base Pandemic with pandemic legacy?
You can. The rulebook leaves out that you start with 5 event cards in the player deck. Should be 2*number of players, as of the On The Brink rules.
Is pandemic legacy the same as Pandemic?
Legacy isn’t really a “new and improved” Pandemic. It’s basically a campaign version of Pandemic. It is fantastic, but so is the base game. And the base game you can restart and replay as many time as you like, and frankly if you don’t like it then resell or trade away.
What to do after finishing pandemic legacy?
r/boardgames
- Reset it and play it again.
- Frame it.
- Get rid of every stickers and play it as regular Pandemic.
- Keep it as is and never touch it again.
- Pull out pieces you can reuse and toss the rest.
- Keep the box and store base game + all expansions (or reuse box to store other games)
Where do I start pandemic legacy?
If you’ve played the Pandemic base game, the easiest jump to make into the series will start with Season 1. It is the most alike to the original game in terms of design, theme, and gameplay, so players familiar with Pandemic will feel right at home.
Should I start with pandemic or pandemic legacy?
We recommend starting with Pandemic Legacy: Season 1, as it features the most similar gameplay to the Pandemic base game, but you can also start with Season 0, the prequel, and play through the three seasons chronologically. It’s all up to your preference!
