Happy Pandemic Day!

As has become tradition around here, my lovely wife Christina (my nearly silent co-host on the last BGB) again made me a birthday cake themed to a favorite game of mine. This year, she tackled Pandemic - the hot new game from designer Matt Leacock and Z-Man Games. In one evening, she decorated both this and a heavily detailed seaside-themed cake for my daughter (meaning she stayed up late into the night making sure the red travel lines were accurate...mostly!)

The cake also tasted great. You'll notice that the Scientist is out this round (she ran out of white) and the Researcher was made of Tootsie Roll (and was the first pawn eaten). Despite all the detail, Christina was excited to do this one since Pandemic is one of her favorite games. It was another nice reminder that I am one lucky guy.

Watch next week for the first of two "Agricola: In depth" shows and I'll even be tackling Pandemic soon on a show devoted to co-op and semi-co-op games.

Thanks for downloading and listening to Boardgame Babylon.
