Today I played the game "Pandemic", it was a very addictive game. The reason why I found this game so addictive was because of the different ways you can do things. For instance, my group played 2 games, the first game we did not know what we were doing and failed very fast. The second round we did better because we knew the basic rules and strategy, so we did better, but we still did not win. I think if we played again we could win because we now know more advanced strategies and ways to do things. Another reason why I found this game so addictive was because I simply love the way they incorporated luck and strategy into the game. After playing this game I realized that I wanted to make a game that incorporated both luck and strategy. The ways luck was in the game was that you drew cards not knowing what you were going to get, these cards were either beneficial or very terrible. Strategy was used in the game by having to cooperate with the other players and using your characters special skills to help cure and irradiate the diseases, which was the goal of the game.
