I’ll be re-listening soon. The idea of efficiency as the curve, and victory points/winning conditions as the area under the curve, is such an interesting insight.

One thing about the cooperative games: the Legacy versions of games seem designed to make you agonize even more about “letting things burn” and pursuing victory conditions, because the “burning” (the outbreaks in Pandemic Legacy S1, the plague cubes in S2) have lasting effects on future games. And, unfortunayely, my current PLS2 group is having a very hard time specifically because we keep trying to get each other the cards, and the Infection deck just wipes us out, or at least creates a lot of long-term future issues. Sadness 🙁
