Pandemic has an outbreak counter, an infection counter, a cured/eradicated disease counter, city infection counters and 2 different decks of cards, as well as meeples and buildings. And that's just standard Pandemic; Legacy is fully bananas with its engineering. Should its feelings feel hurt too? :)

Lol, thanks for calling that one out. When I talk about "counters" here, what I mean is all those tokens players use to track 17 kinds of "resources" in the stereotypical modern eurogame. I mean, are we really at the point where board games are distinguished by the way you navigate the board and the name/number of resources you have to manage?

I haven't played Legacy, because on principle I won't buy a game that can only be played a set number of times.

In conclusion, get off my lawn, I guess.

Legacy pandemic can be played any number of times - just don't rip cards up or progress at the end of the game. Once you progress you can't play that exact version of the game, but bow you have a new game to play. I would highly recommend it. To completely dismiss my own point but make another, we're on our second "season 1" with a new group after finishing out our first one.

I understand the principle, and I had that feeling as well, but I would encourage you to reconsider. I played through risk legacy and there was tons of excitement around opening packages of cards, adding elements to the board, etc.

I'm not as familiar with pandemic legacy, but with risk legacy, by the time you play 15 games with 5 people, the cost per person per game play is very low. And it's very exciting.
