I admit it; I know the designer of this game. But that doesn't color my recommendation of the game. Head on over to Board Game Geek and check out the reviews yourself. It's currently ranked 24th, ahead of some really amazing games like Settlers of Catan, Ticket to Ride, and Modern Art.What sets this game apart from most others is that all players are working together against the mechanic of the game. You all are trying to cure four diseases before the outbreaks spread out of control. Because of this, it's a lot more interactive than so many games out there (some of which are very nearly parallel games of solitaire). And interactions that do happen are positive. Because of this, it's a good choice for people who aren't serious gamers.
The one drawback of the game is that it only plays up to four players, so it's not good for larger groups.
