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.
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.
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.

It is arranged in a specific order – do not look through or shuffle these cards. 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 drawing from the deck, which might be mid-game, at the end of a game, or at the start of the next month. The Legacy Deck is Do notdo draw, reveal, look at, back. a one-way trip.

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

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.
RULE STICKER O
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.
RULE STICKER K
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).

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: • 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.
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.
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. • Your Funding Level is increased by 2 (maximum of 10) as this mess needs to be fixed ASAP. • Record your new funding level.
GAME END UPGRADES
CARDS
Win or lose, you choose two upgrades at the end of each game. You may choose the same upgrade twice.
PLAYER CARDS
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Players may always examine discard piles.
• On your turn, you may take any City card from the Researcher (only), if you are both in the same city.
HAND LIMIT
• Your hand limit applies immediately after getting a card from another player.
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.
• 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).
After playing an Event card, discard it to the Player Discard Pile.
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.
