I couldn't find any topic for this, so, here it is.

Post the online (flash)games you know and like to share.

I'll kickoff with Pandemic 2

It's actually a full-blown game, it'll keep you busy for about half an hour, actually depth in the game!

The purpose of the game is to create a disease that takes over the world and kill everybody alive on earth. Mind you, it's not easy to get that done!

I think it might have been influenced by Pandemic, a board game where you have to cure diseases before the whole world gets infected. It's a cooperative game, you actually play together against the game, instead of playing against each other like "classic" board games. It's very nice.

Pandemic is a cooperative game.

Four diseases have broken out in the world and it is up to a team of specialists in various fields to find cures for these diseases before mankind is wiped out.

Players must work together, playing to their characters' strengths and planning their strategy of eradication before the diseases overwhelm the world with ever-increasing outbreaks. For example, the Operation Specialist can build research stations, which are needed to find cures for the diseases. The Scientist needs only 4 cards of a particular disease to cure it instead of the normal 5.

But the diseases are breaking out fast and time is running out: the team must try to stem the tide of infection in diseased areas while developing cures. If disease spreads uncontrolled, the players all lose. If they find the cures, they win.

The board shows earth with some big population centres. On each turn a player can use four actions to travel, cure, discover and build. Cards are used for this but the deck also contains Epidemics...

A truly cooperative game where you all win or you all lose.

Pandemic is a game for 2-4 players, as listed on the box and Z-Man's website. The game is capable of being played solo or with five players, but these rules are not addressed in the rulebook, and so would require house rules to play.
