Overview

Pandemic: Iberia transports players to the mid-19th century Iberian Peninsula, where malaria, typhus, cholera, and yellow fever run rampant. As members of The Second Royal Philanthropic Expedition, you must work together to research and combat these diseases before they overwhelm the region. Players take on unique roles, such as a rural doctor or an agronomist, each with special abilities to aid in the fight.

Each turn, you'll use action points to move across the map, treat patients, share knowledge, and purify water sources. Collecting sets of cards matching the color of a disease allows you to research cures, bringing you closer to victory. The game features variable player powers, cooperative gameplay, and the constant pressure of disease outbreaks, creating a tense and engaging experience where teamwork and strategic planning are crucial for survival.
