Pandemic Legacy Season 2 Previewed At Essen Spiel [Minor Spoilers]

Z-Man's Pandemic Legacy Season 2 has appeared at Essen Spiel as the box cover and a few tidbits were shared about the game. See what you think...
From what we've seen online the game will follow on from the first in some regard and tell a new story in a different way. We're already seeing a lot of artwork there showing off player portraits for various characters.
Board Game Geek user Ubergeek also got a shot of what is reportedly the board for the game.
It appears to show a more exploratory angle to the game where you're going to be revealing parts of the board. Of course, this is still very early in development so it might look nothing like this!
Either way, we might see a fusion of some of the mechanics from Pandemic Legacy being included alongside those in Seafall.

That said … might be time to figure out what in the pandemic-verse is worth owning … and add some of this to the buy list.

Some people are put off by this as they feel it doesn’r represent value for money, but you get around 20 hours of gameplay and one one of the finest boardgame experiences you’ll ever have for your money. The game shot to the top of BGG’s rankings within a few months of its release,… Read more »
* that’s not strictly speaking true as if you prep well enough you can make the changes temporary. Personally, I found making the permanent changes to be part of the fun.
