I see that the official Matt Leacock’s Pandemic boardgame adaptation on Android was abandoned by Asmodee, allegedly due to various quality problems.

There are a few versions floating out there in various apk archives, and even something called “Pandemic” in the Google Play store by some outfit named Seadex that I have no idea whether is anything related to the original boardgame.

Does anyone have a favorite implementation of the Pandemic boardgame they can recommend?

      Plague Inc. comes in at the top of a search in the Play Store for “pandemic” but I understand that it’s kind of a reverse concept of the Pandemic boardgame: You try to wipe out those pesky humans by developing an incurable virus.

      I might be inclined to give it a try if I can’t find a decent implementation of Pandemic.

        As a follow up, possible Iranian malware be damned, this turned out to be the smoothest running version of the game that I tried.

        BitDefender didn’t find anything, but of course that doesn’t mean anything after you have the app installed.

        Others that I tried had Chinese stuff on bootup, and stuttered when running.
