A BRIEF LOOK AT Z-MAN GAMES
Here is a quick look at some of the best-selling board games from Z-man Games:
Pandemic Legacy
This games was a game changer! The original Pandemic game was taken on by Rob Daviau and turned into a legacy game. This means that you and your team would play through an overarching story, taking between 12 and 24 sessions to end the game. Once complete, that's it. Along the way cards will be ripped up, rules will be discovered and players die. Each month in the game, you have two chances to achieve that month's objectives. If you succeed, you win and immediately move on to the next month. If you fail, you have a second chance, with more funding for beneficial event cards.
Carcassonne
