ABSTRACT
In February of 2008, Matt Leacock released Pandemic, a board game where players cooperate to save the world from deadly diseases that threaten to wipe out humanity. The game has been enthusiastically received, with its first printing selling out in less than a month. Matt will discuss how being an interaction designer affected the game design process as well as how cooperative games can point to new models for engagement in online systems.
Pandemic's BoardGameGeek page is www.boardgamegeek.com/game/30549
Speaker: Matt Leacock
Matt Leacock is a principal designer at Yahoo! Inc. When he's not designing social platforms and products for Yahoo!, he dabbles in board game design.
Matt's ludography (list of game designs) is here: www.boardgamegeek.com/designer...
Matt's work bio is here: www.socialtext.net/ocu2007/ind...
This is an excellent and almost definitive discussion on boardgame design. Very illustrative.
I really enjoy Matt's description of the making of Pandemic. Excellent points on interaction design as well. If you haven't yet played his board game Pandemic, then you are missing out on a great game!
We just released a podcast discussing Matt's insights, now - 6 years later...

The entire episode is only 15 minutes long, but there is a transcript for those who only have time to read. :-)
No, it's different from the flash game.
Check the links over in the summary section and check it out.
good lecture
Does this have anything to do with pandemic or pandemic 2 (the flash game). I looks really similar..

Did you finish your game?

No, it's quite the opposite. In the flash games, your goal is to eradicate humanity. Pandemic is the name of a board game where the players cooperate to eradicate the diseases.
Google for it, you'll see a link to a site called boardgamegeek which has a lot more information on it.
To bad Valve didnt ask him for advice on Left 4 Dead....
unfortunately board game designers make next to nothing. a couple of dollars per unit sold. so unless you're the next Reiner Knizia, designing board games is a hobby.
YOU PREDICTED THE 2020 PANDEMIC!
