I agree. Forbidden Island is more of a casual family game. Even my 5 year can participate. Pandemic is for the older "hard-core" gamers.

Start with Forbidden Island. If you like it and would like to step up, Pandemic is the way to go. Adding the On the Brink expansion to Pandemic brings even more thrills with a hidden terrorist player, who battles against the rest of the players.

I feel like Pandemic gets boring after awhile whereas Forbidden Island remains fun. It helps that the board changes with every game as well.

It really depends on what your criteria is. If you're trying to be thrifty...Forbidden Island. If you're playing with younger kids...Forbidden Island. If you looking for something easy to setup and put away...Forbidden Island. If you want something a tad more intricate and complex... Pandemic. If you're playing with teenagers and up... Pandemic. I would factor in the Pandemic expansion, "On the Brink" as well. It really makes Pandemic a great game even better! I like both.

This is better than pandemic. Pandemic plays less "cooperative," and is much less forgiving for beginning players. Beginning players will become frustrated with the difficulty of pandemic and how little you seem to do while others who are more skilled with the game domineer and control the gameplay.

the cleanser is what you need. the other one is for infections. Both are awesome, I keep both on hand at all times.

Wish I could answer your question, but I don't know which of the two is better. Sorry :(

My thought on this is you want to look at reveiws first. But if the used game is about the same price as a new game you are better to go with new. hope this helps.

Go for the + - it is the updated and expanded version and you should be able to buy it for about $299 if you shop well. It has everything the original has and MORE!

This is the first I have heard of this but what I would suggest is to get them both and find out for yourself. It's a good product so you could use it either way.

Hi Sherry... Internet Security is better than the Antivirus version... there's only one reason why and that is because the Internet Security version also has a firewall to protect you from hackers trying to get into your computer directly. The real purpose of the Antivirus version are for systems that are not connected to the internet 24 hours/day.

I believe Mediabrigde is the better of the two? But like most everyone has there own opinion.Happy Hunting!

In the Lab does not require On the Brink for the main component of the expansion, which is the lab board. ITL expands on some elements of OTB, but do not let that dissuade you from picking it up first. What you can use with the base Pandemic game: - 5 new roles (1 is an updated OTB role so you don't get a colored pawn for this but it's close to the liaison color) - 3 new events - the lab board and sequence cards - 4 new shiny cure vials (the fifth is purple) - the solo CDC role - team gameplay including new research stations, goals, awards, etc. What you cannot use: - 2 new virulent strain cards - 12 additional purple cubes - 2 mutation cards - the game box tray is designed to hold the petri dishes from OTB As you can see the bulk of the expansion is fully compatible. Fully. I own the base Pandemic and ITL. I'm waiting for the October reprint of OTB and you can bet I'll have a copy ordered because it has great content as well. You do however, need the 2nd edition of Pandemic, or have purchased the compatibility pack from Z-man games if you have the first printing of the game. ITL is a solid expansion and really adds depth and complexity to the game. Worth the purchase before, after, or without OTB...

It is not any better, they are both excellent products. Give them both a try is my recommendation.

This is the top of the line edition with all features, some mods, and free lifetime updates. There are other versions with less features, so you may want to take a look at them and decide which one better meets your needs.

Buy the digital download version, not the physical copy. Also Brave New World is an expansion pack that requires the original Civilization 5. Double check that as well.

I have never owned an Ipod. I am looking for the best version that is specifically for music. I do not want a lot of bells and whistles, I want good sound and to know up front that it is fairly simple to load or download music. Does anyone have a preference for what version I should go for? No:Photos/games/other stuff.. just music.thanks.

yes! it's definitely a good 2-player game, though I enjoy it more with 3-4. If I can make a recommendation for another one as well then check out Citadels. Citadels is great with 2-4 players as well, and though it isn't co-op I really enjoy it. Additionally, Pandemic is an excellent choice of boardgames for a 2-player game as well and is co-op.

I recommend purchasing the newer version. I own and love the old version and the new version has the option of adding a twist but you can just chose to play it the traditional way. The biggest reason I would recommend purchasing the new one if the words and people are more current and relevant to today.

back up? like songs or beats? probably not, but you should spend a little more and get the newer model, it is amazing and will make you feel like you've traveled to the future. you can recreate whatever beats you have lost, I am sure of that! it is as easy to use as this one, but has a way better sound and is just great to create with. hope that helps

I've used both. I think the newer model is worth the extra money. The screen resolution seems better to me, and the newer model is more adjustable. Also, the auto-rotating screen is a nice feature.
