The world is falling apart. Four diseases are sweeping the planet and your team is on the front lines. Worse yet, one disease has shown signs that it may become resistant to any treatment.
Pandemic Legacy is a cooperative game where all players must work together to develop cures and prevent disease outbreaks, before 4 diseases contaminate humanity. You will all win or lose together.
Can you survive the year and save humanity?

OVERVIEW
HOW DO YOU PLAY A LEGACY GAME?
Unlike most games, which fully reset every time you play, Pandemic Legacy carries some elements forward from one game to the next. Decisions you make in game 1 will be there in game 2, 3, and every game played with your copy of the game. Different groups will make different decisions and will have a different experience. What results is a game unique to the group that plays it.
Sometimes you will write on parts of the game. Sometimes you will put stickers on cards or the board. Sometimes you will even destroy (tear up) a card. These changes are permanent.
Also, at the end of each game, the group will make two Game End Upgrades to prepare for future games. You will put stickers on the board, cards, and character.
As you play, you will learn about other ways the game will change.
Also, some elements of play are hidden and sealed off before your very first game. As you play, you will find instructions that tell you when to open these packages. Do not open the packages in the box until you receive instructions to do so. The dossiers also contain hidden information that will be revealed as you play.
Some rules, labeled A through Y, are missing throughout this rulebook. As you play, you will gain these missing rules and stick them into the rulebook. From that point on, the rules will be permanently changed.
IF YOU'VE NEVER PLAYED PANDEMIC...
We recommend that you play a few games without any of the special "Legacy" rules to get a feel for the decisions you will have to make.
Read this rulebook then play without using the following rules:
· Game Months, Legacy Deck, Dossiers
· Objectives, Funding, Game Calendar, Panic Level
· Scars and Lost Characters
· Game End Upgrades
The object of these warm-up games is to cure four diseases before any of the game-losing conditions are triggered (noted on page 14 of these rules). You should play at least two games this way to get a feel for the game before adding the additional rules.
IF YOU HAVE PLAYED PANDEMIC...
You will see that game 1 of Pandemic Legacy plays like Pandemic with a few changes, explained in the next few pages.

WHAT STAYS AND WHAT GETS RESET?
Writing on the board, putting stickers on the board or on cards, and possibly tearing up or destroying components are permanent changes.
In all other ways, the game resets for the start of each game. The pieces on the board, cards in hand, outbreaks, etc. all start fresh.

GAME MONTHS
Pandemic Legacy is broken into 12 months, starting with January.
If your group succeeds in a month, you move on to play the next month. If you fail, you get one more chance to succeed in the current month. Start a new game with the current set of rules and objectives for the month you just lost. If you lose again, you must move on to the next month for your next game.

THE LEGACY DECK

The Legacy Deck contains cards that will

describe what happens over the course of the

game's 12 months. It is arranged in a specific order­do not look through or shuffle these cards.

Do not draw, reveal, look at, handle, or otherwise disturb these cards until instructed.

At the start of a game, draw the cards and read them one at a time, until you get to a card that says STOP on the back. This card will tell you when to continue

CONFIDENTIAL
JANUARY MISSION BRIEFING UPDATE

Worst fears confirmed. The disease with

the most cubes on the board (of those

that do not have discovered cures) is now

classified as "COdA-403a." If there are

two or more eligible diseases, select one

Cto be COdA-403a.
The cure to COdA can no longer be found using known techniques.

19

Players can continue to treat COdA but

it is drug-resistant and players taking

the Treat action must now spend 1

additional action to treat COdA.

Right now: Tear up your original objective card. A new objective will follow.

19

THE PACKAGES
There are eight packages in the game. As you play through the game, yellow boxes will instruct you to open specific packages.
Important: Before your very first game, place the Open Package 8 sticker on door 8 of the package box, in the frame designed for it.

SETUP
You may notice that some steps are missing. They will be added later.
1 Read the Mission Briefing
When playing a month for the first time, draw cards off the top of the Legacy Deck until you reach one that says STOP. Read the mission briefing and integrate new cards (if any) to the game.

Research Stations

2 Set out the board and pieces
Put all structures (initially you'll only have research stations) nearby. Separate the cubes by color into 4 supply piles. Place a research station in each city with a starting research station sticker. (You begin the game with one in Atlanta.) In future games there may be other pieces you place.

3 Place outbreaks, cure markers, and objectives

Place the outbreaks marker on the "0" space of the Outbreaks Track. Place the 4 cure markers, "vial" side up, at the bottom of the disease tracking area. Place all current objectives in the objectives area.

PLAY
Each player turn is divided into 3 steps: 1. Do 4 actions. 2. Draw 2 Player cards. 3. Infect cities. After a player is done infecting cities, the player on their left goes next. Players should freely give each other advice. Let everyone offer opinions and ideas. However, the player whose turn it is decides what to do. Your hand can have City and Event cards in it. City cards are used in some actions and Event cards can be played at any time.

DRAW CARDS
After doing 4 actions, draw the top 2 cards together from the Player Deck. If, as you are about to draw, there are fewer than 2 cards left in the Player Deck, the game ends and your team has lost! (Do not reshuffle the discard to form a new deck.)
RULE STICKER P
EPIDEMIC CARDS
If your draws include any Epidemic cards, do not add them to your hand (and do not draw replacement cards for them). Instead, immediately do the following steps in order: 1. Increase: Move the infection rate marker forward 1 space on the Infection Rate Track. 2. Infect: Draw the bottom card from the Infection Deck. Unless its disease color has been eradicated, put 3 disease cubes of that color on the named city. If the city already has cubes of this color, do not add 3 cubes to it. Instead, add just enough cubes so that it has 3 cubes of this color and then an outbreak of this disease occurs in the city (see Outbreaks on page 13). Discard this card to the Infection Discard Pile.
If you cannot place the number of cubes actually needed on the board, because there are not enough cubes of the needed color left in the supply, the game ends and your team has lost! This can occur during an epidemic, an outbreak, or infections (see Outbreaks and Infections below). 3. Intensify: Reshuffle just the cards in the Infection Discard Pile and place them on top of the Infection Deck. When doing these steps, remember to draw from the bottom of the Infection Deck and to then reshuffle only the Infection Discard Pile, placing it on top of the existing Infection Deck. It is rare but possible to draw 2 Epidemic cards at once. In this case, do all three steps above once and then again. In this case, the second epidemic's Infection card will be the only card to "reshuffle", ending on top of the Infection Deck. An outbreak will then occur in this city during Infections (see Infections on page 12), unless an Event card is played to prevent this (see Event Cards on page 15). After resolving any Epidemic cards, discard them.

GAME END
You win as soon as you meet the necessary number of objectives. The game ends immediately, even if it is the middle of a player's turn or a series of outbreaks.
There are many ways for the game to end and the players to lose:

GAME END UPGRADES
Win or lose, you choose two upgrades at the end of each game. You may choose the same upgrade twice.

· Immediately when the outbreaks marker reaches the last space of the Outbreaks Track,
· Immediately if you are unable to place the number of disease cubes actually needed on the board. Any future cubes and/or outbreaks don't happen,
· If a player cannot draw 2 Player cards after doing their actions.

UNFUNDED EVENTS
Select an event sticker to add to any City card in the Player Deck. This card is now both a City card and an Event card and can be used either way, but not both. These City/Event cards are available every game (they're unaffected by the funding level). Each City card can only have one sticker.

RULE STICKER V
WIN OR LOSE, THE GROUP CHOOSES TWO GAME END UPGRADES AT THE END OF THE GAME.
IF YOU WIN THE GAME
· You get the Win Bonus for the next month. This is described on cards in the Legacy deck.
· You start your next game at the beginning of the next month. · Your Funding Level is cut by 2 (minimum of 0) as you clearly have
the situation in hand. · Record your new funding level.

STARTING RESEARCH STATIONS
Select a city currently containing a research station and add a starting research station sticker. Add a research station to every city with one of these stickers during the setup of all future games. When placing a starting research station sticker, place it close to the city (similar to the one printed on the board for Atlanta). Do not place it in a panic level sticker box.
CHARACTER UPGRADES
Add an upgrade to a character. Each character has room for 2 upgrades (except the Generalist, who has 4). Players may stick an upgrade over an existing upgrade. Upgrades can only be applied to characters that were in the just-played game.

IF YOU LOSE THE GAME
· If this is the first time the month has been played, you must try the month again. If not, move on to the next month for your next game.
· Y our Funding Level is increased by 2 (maximum of 10) as this mess needs to be fixed ASAP.
· Record your new funding level.
IN EITHER CASE (WIN OR LOSE)
· Choose two upgrades (see next section). · Clear the board of all game pieces. · Discard all City cards. These all reset for the start of the next game.
Do not put any Legacy cards back in the Legacy deck, even if playing the same month. Just continue where you left off in the Legacy deck. · If playing the same month again, your mission briefing and objectives are the same.

POSITIVE MUTATIONS
If you've eradicated a disease during this game, you may give that disease a positive mutation to make it easier to find a cure in future games. Put the positive mutation sticker on the disease tracking area of the board.
Diseases that gain the Efficient to Sequence mutation are cured as soon as one player discards the necessary number of cards. This does not require an action and can happen on another player's turn.

Set up future games as described in Setup on pages 6-7.

CARDS
PLAYER CARDS
As you play, you will have the option to place stickers on City cards. Each City card can have one sticker. When you play a City card with a sticker, you choose whether it is being played as a City card or using the effect of the sticker, never both.
Players may always examine discard piles.
HAND LIMIT
If you ever have more than 7 cards in hand (after first resolving any Epidemic cards you may have drawn), discard cards or play Event cards until you have 7 cards in hand (see Event Cards).
Only Player cards count towards your hand limit.
EVENT CARDS
Playing an Event card is not an action. The player who plays an Event card decides how it is used. Event cards can be played at any time, except in between drawing and resolving a card.
Example: During infections, the first Infection card drawn causes an outbreak. You may not play the Remote Treatment to prevent this. After this outbreak happens however, you may use Remote Treament before flipping over the next Infection card.
After playing an Event card, discard it to the Player Discard Pile.

OVERLOOKED RULES
· You do not draw a replacement card after drawing an Epidemic card.
· You may Discover a Cure at any Research Station ­ the color of its city does not need to match the disease you are curing.
· On your turn, you may take a card from another player, if you are both in the city that matches the card you are taking.
· On your turn, you may take any City card from the Researcher (only), if you are both in the same city.
· Your hand limit applies immediately after getting a card from another player.
· Characters gain a scar from standing in a city that outbreaks.
WHAT HAPPENS IF WE MESS UP A RULE SINCE WE CAN'T GO BACK?
In most cases, it won't matter. A little rule confusion here or there or a card left out of a deck or something forgotten will not greatly affect your game. Just note it and move on.
In some cases a missing or confused rule will have resulted in a whole game being too easy or too hard. In this case, the group should decide whether to increase their funding for next game (if you accidentally made a game too hard) or reduce funding for the next game (if you made a game too easy).

STRUCTURES
Each city may contain one of each type of structure.
RESEARCH STATIONS
You need to be at a research station to use the Discover a Cure action. You can also use the Shuttle Flight action to travel between two research stations. Destroy a research station in a city if it is rioting. If it was a starting research station, replace the starting research station sticker with a destroyed research station sticker. You cannot build a research station in a city that is rioting, collapsing, or fallen.
