About the game
What you do in a play session
With a new modular board dedicated to the lab, scientists will need to sequence diseases, collect samples, and test cures in a controlled yet dangerous environment. The expansion introduces four new player roles, each with unique abilities that promise to change team dynamics. Furthermore, new Virulent Strain events and a Worldwide Panic Mutation scenario further increase the challenge, ensuring each game is a desperate race against catastrophe.
One of the big novelties is the possibility of playing in different ways: individually (with solo rules) or in rival teams, if you have four to six players at the table. Yes, you can even compete to see which team of scientists is most efficient at saving the world! But beware: to enjoy all scenarios and the complete experience, especially with more players, you'll need the Pandemic base game and, for two of the three scenarios, also the Pandemic: On the Brink expansion. So, gather your team, put on your lab coat, and get ready to save the world, one test tube at a time!
