It is a great game, but also very, very hard. It is very possible to lose all of you Qi (life force, hit points, something like that) in two turns. But hey, co-op games are meant to be difficult and it's way more fun to get a real challenge so those rare cases, when you actually manage to beat the game, feel a lot better. =)
Thinking about buying White Moon, thanks for both of these reviews, Tom!
@AlexTheUruguayan This comment was stupid, Pandemic is a really good game and can be nearly impossible to win if you play on hard settings. I'm not even talking about the expansions, it's hard as hell. Maybe you think you are a real board gamer and that the rules are too simple. But for people who just want to have fun with friends (older than 13 years old too), it is really fun.
@PhilGerb93 What part of my comment was stupid? I never said Pandemic was a bad game - I recommended it over Shadows. Maybe you meant to respond to someone else - either way, don't be rude because it just makes you look like an idiot. (See what I did there?)
@AlexTheUruguayan Maybe I misunderstood you. And maybe I look like an idiot. But seriously, dont say the :see what I did there? Because you look like an idiot too xD. Everyone is saying this and its annoying.
@morava1 Pandemic, Forbidden Island, and Shadows over Camelot are all coop games that have, I think, easier rules to follow. I also think all three are fun to play as is Ghost Stories.
i played this game twice and its was our total annihilation :P tooo hard like Tom said. But theres an expansion out-someone played it? its even more hard with it or is there a bigger chance killin wu-cheng?
A great review and my copy of the game is on it's way to me right now. I would like an in depth look at how the game is played with a single player. I have a feeling I'm going to be tearing my hair out before I can sit down and play this thing with any proficiency.
This guy is really good at reviewing board games. I've just been losing sleep browsing his channel all night and now I'm probably going to be late for class :-). Ya I'm definitely going to show some of these games to my siblings.
It's the firs co-op game I have ever played! I completely agree with Tom, difficulty levels should definetly be renamed...:) After around 12 games, we've won once...however I'm always willing to play that game. The biggest problem with Ghost Stories is poor rulebook, it lefts too many questions unanswered.

Shadoes Over Camelot isn't a pure cooperative game - more like a team game where you don't know who's on your team.
Anyway, Pandemic is better than Shadows or try Forbidden Island if you plan on playing with kids under 13 years old.
