Pandemic: In the Lab

Description

--- **TLDR** Pandemic: In the Lab expansion adds a lab board, new roles, events, and scenarios for disease-curing gameplay with cooperative or rival team options. Key mechanics include: - *Laboratory board* Enables pawn movement behind bio-hazard doors to sequence diseases, take samples, and test cures. - *New roles* Four additional roles for players. - *Virulent Strain events* Introduce new challenges. - *Worldwide Panic Mutation scenario* A specific scenario variant. - *Team play options* Cooperative individually or rival teams (4-6 players). Pandemic: In the Lab, the second expansion for the Pandemic base game, introduces a new laboratory game board for moving pawns in a high-stakes scientific environment sealed by bio-hazard doors, where players race against time to sequence diseases, collect samples, and test cures, maintaining the core objective of finding cures for diseases but through innovative lab-based mechanics. It features four new roles, fresh Virulent Strain events, and a Worldwide Panic Mutation scenario, supporting play either individually in cooperation or on rival teams specifically with four or six players. The expansion requires the base Pandemic game, with two of its three scenarios additionally needing Pandemic: On the Brink, as part of the broader Pandemic series. ---
