Pandemic

Panic, sickness, disease, and death grip the earth.  A new and seemingly unstoppable disease has broken out, and the fate of the world rests on the shoulders of four guys sitting around a card table drinking beer and insulting each other.  The debut episode of Beer’d Gamers sees the fellas, along with the help of Contingency Planner Alec Baldwin, frantically trying to save the world (and enjoy a few brews) before it’s destroyed.

This week we’re playing through Pandemic, a cooperative game for 2-4 players.  The players play against the board in a race to eradicate four diseases before they spread enough to wipe humanity off of the planet.  Pandemic is a great intro game for people who are more casual board game players but are looking to take their first step into more complex and strategic games; the Beer’s Gamers highly recommend it!  You can usually find it retailing for somewhere between $20-30, depending on the seller.

Beer selections for this episode include Murphy’s Imported Stout, from Murphy Brewery in Ireland, for Teej, Dr. Venom IPA from Ale Asylum for Schnell, Ghost Hammer IPA from Stone Brewing for Junior, and 12th of Never Ale from Lagunitas for Nelson.  Raise a beer and listen along with us!
