i'm like two months late with this but i'm surprised both carcassonne and settlers of catan are so low. from what little i know of tabletop games, they're both quite popular!

never played carcassonne but love me some catan (though i'm not very good at it).

Historically, Catan was very important for the board game industry and helped revolutionize a whole new type of game. It showed that games beyond roll and move games and party games had potential to sell to the mass market.

However, the game has NOT aged well. I first played it 10-15 years after it came out and it wasn't very fun compared to other games I was playing around that time - like Ticket to Ride, Power Grid, Puerto Rico, Race for the Galaxy and Agricola.

Pandemic Legacy: Season 1 is the only legacy game I've done so far, though I'm hoping to eventually get Charterstone played.

What colour was COdA in your game? For us it was red.

Pandemic Legacy Season 1 was an absolutely amazing experience. My group had a ton of fun with it and there were twists to the story that we genuinely didn't see coming.

The same group also played Season 2 together and it was still fun, but the difficulty was very skewed. Depending on the cards you drew at the beginning, your month could be very easy or very difficult. Without any spoilers, some months put way too much emphasis on finding one specific card to advance the story. It made parts of the season feel way more random than Season 1.

There also werent nearly as many big plot twists in Season two as there were in the first one. It was still worth playing if you enjoyed season one, just don't expect Season 2 to wow you as much.
