Pandemic Legacy is a cooperative campaign game with an overarching story arc played over 12 to 24 sessions, depending on your group's performance. At the outset, the game plays much like basic Pandemic, in which your team of disease-fighting specialists is in a race against time to travel the world, treating disease hotspots while researching cures for each of four plagues before they get out of hand.

On a player's turn, he has four actions with which to travel the world in various ways (sometimes needing to discard a card), build structures such as research stations, treat disease (removing one cube from the board; if all cubes of a color have been removed, the disease has been eradicated), exchange cards with other players, or find a cure for a disease (needing to discard five cards of the same color while at a research station). Each player has a unique role with special abilities to help in these actions.

After a player accomplishes his actions, he draws two cards. These cards might include "epidemic" cards, which will place new disease cubes on the game board, and can lead to an outbreak, spreading disease cubes even further. Outbreaks additionally raise a city's panic level, making travel to that city more costly.

Each month in the game, you have two chances to achieve the objectives for the month. If you succeed, you win and move on to the next month immediately. If you fail, you get a second chance, with more funding for beneficial event cards.

As the campaign progresses, new rules and components will be introduced. These will sometimes require you to permanently alter the components of the game, which includes writing on cards, tearing up cards, and placing permanent stickers on components. Your characters can gain new skills or suffer detrimental effects. A character might even be entirely lost, at which point it's no longer available for play.
