Okay, I see the next turn's actions. He's going to have to decide what cards he's going to discard/play before I move on to the draw phase, though.
He *could* always play the Government Grant one to get a Research Station set up somewhere else. It's better than discarding something that may be useful later.

One Quiet Night. Breathe easy, world. And stop going to movie theaters, your hacking is annoying us.
Government Grant: Buenos Aires. Thank you Brazil, you're so nice to give us all this free money. I'm putting it here because BA is four jumps from any other Research Station, and also is the hardest place to get to from anywhere else that still has reasonable access from multiple directions.
I hope he didn't have any plans for those cards...
1. Shuttle Flight to Atlanta
2. Give Krata my St. Petersburg
3. Give Krata my San Francisco
4. Drive to Washington to get a head start on ERADICATION!
Okay, moves & actions were okay...
Draw:
...You're kidding me.
Epidemic.
It hits Santiago, which gets three yellow cubes.
The infection rate's now three, by the way, so three Infection cards will be drawn per turn now. New York was the other draw.
INFECTOR'S TURN:
None! Zip! Nada!

I, sadly, CANNOT make it to Paris or Santiago. Or, more accurtately, I could make it TO one, specifically Paris, but could not thereafter do much else.
What I can do is research the Blue Cure. Sadly it doesn't look like we'll manage an Eradication... But if I do research the cure then we're halfway there.
However! After reading the rules, so long as we have managed a Cure for a given Disease, then as long as we remove the last cubes EVENTUALLY we'll still eRadicate it, so it's still doable.
We'd also be better off with you Airlifting yourself, Akinos. Youy being medic, and being up next, means that you can clean out Paris or Santiago in one turn. If you do Paris, you bring us that much closer to Eradication. If you do Santiago you save south america from Certain Doom.
Your choice.
EDIT: We could, theoretically, get together enough Yellow cards to Cure the yellow disease too, but that'd require a LOT of trading back and forth, and we might not manage it yet.
Looks like we're on the right track, guys! I'm almost wishing for an Outbreak, just to make things a little more interesting.
Yeah, I'm still surprised how things went so smoothly. Last time I played in meatspace, we played three players on Easy (four epidemics), and we lost by hitting eight Outbreaks.
Part of me wonders how this would've gone if, say, there was no Medic.

Alright guys, we need to focus on cleaning out these remaining diseases, we've only got so many turns. 17 cars left in the deck, drawing 2 a turn gives us 9 turns?
I'm not really sure what I should do this turn though...
I've already got 2 yellow so I guess 2 more and I can cure that.
So..
1. Fly to Buenos Aires
2. Drive to Bogota
3. Cure Bogota
4. Cure Bogota
Ianator can trade me a yellow on his turn and since I am on bogota so can Krata, giving me the four I need assuming I don't draw one this turn.
Action 1: Fly to Ho Chi Minh City.
Action 2: Drive to Hong Kong
Action 3: Drive to Kolkata
Action 4: Treat Kolkata.
If anyone object to this, let me know and I'll do something else, but I think NYC is safe for now, but Kolkata won't be forever, and an outbreak in Asia right now would fuck us up hardcore. Can you guys manage to get YEllow cured, or clean up some Blue, or to clear out Sydney?
Action 1: Drive to LA.
Action 2: Drive to Mexico City.
Action 3: Drive to Bogota.
Action 4: Share Information for Bogota.
Akinos, see if you can't make sure to keep any yellow cubes under control, so that when Inquisitor goes on his turn he can just Eradicate it and we can move on.
Is it really worth the time spent eradicating or should we just work on setting up trades for orange.
Also, after the trade I think I'll have 8 cards and if so I:
Discard Madrid
I think we should just go for the power play here. Remember we only have to cure the 4 diseases to win, we don't have to eradicate any of them. Eradicate is just a nice perk.
But maybe I am just being overly agressive here, I dunno.
We also lose if all the cubes of one color get played. So that's kind of important. Yellow is nowhere near being played out but black and orange and kinda getting close.

The reason I'd go for Eradication is that then we NEVER have to come back to this part of the world, and it's like one turn's move for Akinos. IE, he spends like 2 APs getting to and cleaning out Santiago, and then we never, ever, ever have to worry about yellow ever again. yellow not being played out only means that yellow is GOING to be hit, and in DROVES, later on. Better to fix it before it bcomes a problem, neh?

I can also Airlift myself to Paris or Santiago on my turn.
We can do it right now, if you want.

Sure.

The next six cards, in order are:

New York
Re-arrange them however you see fit.

I must discuss with Krata and see if there is a way he can get to Santiago or Paris in his turn, and then I can Airlift him to the other...

I think it's more important to cure the diseases before we run out of turns, we can allow a few outbreaks.

Only 7 turns left now though. Could yellow really become that big of a disaster in 7 turns? Perhaps. Hmm.
