There’s a huge price drop on one of the most popular board game classics. Walmart is offering the Pandemic board game on clearance for only $14.12, a hefty 70% off the original $45 MSRP. Get free shipping for Walmart+ members or on orders $35 or more (otherwise you have to pay a $6.99 shipping fee). The price of this game dropped to about $16 last week, but this deal is even better.
Pandemic was released back in 2008, but the gameplay is so fundamentally intuitive and engaging that it’s still one of the best beginner board games you can get right now. For new or casual board gamers seeking a cooperative experience rather than a competitive one, there are few games that offer it quite as well as Pandemic. Each player will be assigned one of six potential jobs, such as the Dispatcher, which can move other players around the map, or the Medic, which can remove extra diseases from their location; you and the other players will need to work together to cure and eradicate four deadly diseases that are quickly spreading around the globe. This board game is worth it at MSRP, it’s practically a must add to your collection at this bargain price point.
If you’ve replayed the game enough times, there are also many different thematic expansions to keep it fresh. If you’ve run it completely dry and nothing you can add on can convince you otherwise, we have plenty of other recommendations on fantastic board games that might whet your appetite.
