Pandemic: Promo Roles

Description

--- Pandemic: Promo Roles introduces four double-sided role cards—Epidemiologist/Operations Expert and Generalist/Medic—for use in Pandemic games, with two roles selectable per game. Key mechanics include: - *Double-sided promo cards*: Two cards providing four roles (Epidemiologist & Operations Expert on Card 1; Generalist & Medic on Card 2); only two roles used per game. - *Health loss for promo roles*: Characters lose 1 health (out of 4 total) when disease cubes are added to their current city or when that city outbreaks. - *Game-ending condition*: Immediate loss if any promo character's health is fully exhausted. - *Increased difficulty*: Ties player defeat directly to disease progression near promo roles, heightening risk. Pandemic: Promo Roles is a two-card promotional expansion for the Pandemic board game, featuring double-sided cards that introduce four specialized roles—Epidemiologist and Operations Expert on the first card, Generalist and Medic on the second—with players selecting two roles for any given game. The defining mechanic distinguishes these promo characters by assigning them four health points, which deplete when disease cubes are placed in their current city or when that city experiences an outbreak. Exhausting all health on any promo character results in an immediate game loss for all players, significantly elevating the game's difficulty by linking defeat directly to localized disease escalation rather than solely global eradication failures. ---
