But soon, you can. Asmodee and Z-Man Games have announced a partnership to create Star Wars: The Clone Wars board game using the popular Pandemic system.

From the article:

Traverse a galaxy where iconic Jedi heroes utilize the familiar gameplay mechanics of the Pandemic series. These, combined with the beloved story and character elements of Star Wars, bring you a unique experience with Star Warsâ„¢: The Clone Wars.

Planets under siege populate the game board as players take on the role of legendary Jedi traveling from battle to battle, teaming up and fighting off the Separatist threat. Battle droids attack on sight, and a planet invaded by too many will fall under a blockade, hindering Jedi from liberating it from the enemy or accomplishing missions.

Players must work together to confront the onslaught of droids by moving into their spaces and engaging them in combat, utilizing dice and Squad Cards to deal damage and push back the threat. In between battles, players move from planet to planet, battling more droids, crushing blockades, completing missions to turn the tide of war, and facing off against iconic villains.

Z-Man Games Announces Pandemic Legacy Season 0 https://www.tabletopgamingnews.com/z-man-games-announces-pandemic-legacy-season-0/ https://www.tabletopgamingnews.com/z-man-games-announces-pandemic-legacy-season-0/#respond Fri, 17 Jul 2020 13:13:00 +0000 https://tabletopgamingnewscom.bigscoots-staging.com/?p=2280 Pandemic Legacy revolutionized the gaming world when it came out. I know many of my gaming friends listed it as their favorite game for quite some time. And many of you have played Pandemic Legacy Season 1 and 2. But how did the world get there? Well, that’s where Pandemic Legacy Season 0 comes in.

From the article:

A cooperative legacy game for two to four players designed by Matt Leacock and Rob Daviau, Pandemic Legacy: Season 0drops players into a story of covert operations, special agents, and international intrigue. The Cold War is about to heat up, and you’ll need to work together to prevent the widespread destruction the Soviet Union threatens to rain upon the allied nations of the West.

Just like the first two seasons of Pandemic Legacy, each time you play brings new cards, rules, and conditions that affect future games. Season 0 starts with a Prologue game that can be played multiple times to get a feel for the rules of play, the Legacy format, and the tense state of the world going into your first assignment.

Designed as a prequel, Season 0 does not require players to have completed Seasons 1 or 2 before diving into the game. Experienced players mayenjoy certain details and connections between the seasons that add a richness to the story, but it is a standalone game designed as a complete, narrative experience.

Over the course of a year-long campaign, you’ll be tasked with missions that fling you to the far corners of the globe from the familiar hallways of Washington D.C. to the desolate tundra of Siberia. Each success or failure will bring you closer to the truth—about the Soviets, MEDUSA, and even your fellow agents.

Z-Man Games Announces Pandemic: Fall of Rome https://www.tabletopgamingnews.com/z-man-games-announces-pandemic-fall-of-rome/ https://www.tabletopgamingnews.com/z-man-games-announces-pandemic-fall-of-rome/#respond Mon, 10 Sep 2018 15:17:00 +0000 https://tabletopgamingnewscom.bigscoots-staging.com/?p=2474 If you’re so goth, where were you when we ransacked Rome?

A rather silly question, to be sure (you were hanging out in the Collosseum, petting the lions), but it’s one that you can live out in the new version of Pandemic that Z-Man Games has announced. Barbarian hordes are gathering outside the walls and the citizens of Rome are trapped. The garrisons are stretched thin. Will they be able to hold out or is the Fall of Rome inevitable? The new edition is available to order now.

From the announcement:

Citizens, soldiers, and allies of the Roman Empire unite in Pandemic: Fall of Rome! Raise armies, defend your cities, and forge alliances to ward off relentless barbarian incursions. Can you hold the line against the invading horde and prevent the fall of Rome? Pre-order Pandemic: Fall of Rome today from our website or your local retailer!

Pandemic: Fall of Rome follows the proud tradition of the award-winning Pandemic, transforming the signature cooperative crisis management gameplay from disease control to the defense of one of the greatest civilizations in history! Instead of diseases, players face off against the migration of aggressive barbarian tribes. They must defend their cities long enough to forge alliances with the invading hordes, and in doing so save the Empire from certain doom.
