Full disclosure: A review copy of Pandemic: Rapid Response was provided by Z-Man Games.

There are a few games with themes that have been kind of difficult to really get played in the last couple years. Always an ebb and flow with the audience; it happens, truly. Part of the challenge of reviewing is you have all these games you want to review, but you don't necessarily always have the audience to play them or you can't always convince your friends to play certain games with you. I was worried this was going to be one of those. I'd make some wry joke about Pandemic during a Pandemic, but it's already been made and I honestly don't have the energy for it. So let's skip it.

Besides, Pandemic: Rapid Response isn't actually about a pandemic; it's about responders delivering supplies. In this real-time dice game (Kane Klenko, the go-to for real-time dice games), players are flying around the globe, airdropping supplies as needed as part of an elite crisis response team from ... everywhere. The problems are never-ending and time is running out, so will you be able to save the day?
