My son and I used to play this game.

I have to say, it was incredibly educational about how pandemics spread and are controlled or defeated.

What has happened with COVID-19 is practically deja vu. Start in China; spread through land and air travel...

Nations closing airports and land borders. Hasty efforts to discover treatments.

The only thing NOT dead-on accurate about the game: The U.S. was far harder to infect in the game.

The AI presumed American wealth and science would give it an advantage over places like Iran.
The game didn’t account for an ignorant president who willfully suppresses domestic response.

Anyway, the game hits a bit close to home now but, boy, it’s educational about pandemics and disease spread.
