Game 2 we got things together and managed to cure 3 of the diseases, and we weren't more than another round or two away from the fourth when we ran out of cards.

I can't wait to play again sometime. I don't think it has the replay of something like Dominion, but it is a nice co-op game and a good change of pace, plus the challenge is nice and steep so it feels like we wouldn't have it mastered after a few plays.

My only criticism of Pandemic is that the replayability seems pretty weak. We absolutely LOVED the first few games we played, but after beating the game pretty soundly a few times in a row we haven't gone back to it much. Jim's comment earlier that it feels a little like clock solitaire rings pretty true with me - unless the deck is stacked seriously against us from the get-go, we're probably going to win (and we might even win anyway).
