About this game
Pandemic: Rising Tide takes the beloved cooperative system and floods it, literally, casting your team as Dutch engineers racing to build four modern hydraulic structures before the sea reclaims the land. Water cubes creep across the map as failing dike systems buckle, and every action you spend fighting the flood is an action not spent building the fix. It plays faster and tighter than the original Pandemic, with trading and role powers still doing the heavy lifting, but the constant creeping tide gives it its own distinct, damp kind of dread.
