Depends on your group
- Our take
- For groups who have played Pandemic a lot and want a harder, longer game. Needs On the Brink too.
- What you need first
- On the Brink first
Pandemic · Expansion
In the Lab
- What it adds
- A lab board where you collect disease samples and run them through steps to find cures. Also new roles, events, a solo mode and a team mode.
- What it fixes
- Curing is just handing in five cards in the base game. Here it becomes its own puzzle.
