Extraordinarily expensive given the components are really a rules leaflet and special 57 dice plus a pack of role and event cards. I'd pay a quarter of the price happily, half and think fair but at over $60 in UK I'd seriously think twice about buying this had I not ordered a copy in advance. One of my purple dice is badly made but usable. We played with the new occupations and won easily first game at standard difficulty: played the Mutation Challenge and enjoyed the purple dice but won first game. I like the expansion but for a weeks grocery shop money equivalent in the UK I'd think carefully about if you want it. If like me Pandemic: the Cure is your favourite Pandemic might be worth it. The problem really may be a strong dollar versus a weak pound and nothing more. We did lose the Hot Zone Challenge which uses yet another set of dice and was mildly amusing.

Additional roles are fantastic and a welcome addition to the game. Really wish the role cards match the badge-style ones from the first printing of the base game. New challenges also help make the game interesting and gives a few new ways to play, keeping the game from feeling too stale.

Thanks to my lovely wife for getting this expansion for me. While not essential to play the game, I will never play without it. the purple dice do exactly what you want them to do, same with the characters, just leave the hotspot dice in the box and be happy.
