In Pandemic: In the Lab, the second expansion for Pandemic, you will use a new game board that allows you to move the pawns in a laboratory. The goal of this activity is the same as in the base game – finding cures for diseases – but this time in a new way. Behind sealed bio-hazard doors, scientists race against time to sequence diseases, take samples, and test cures.
Pandemic: In the Lab includes four new roles, new Virulent Strain events, and a Worldwide Panic Mutation scenario. Players can compete individually or on rival teams (when playing with four or six players). Can your team work together in the lab to save humanity?
Pandemic: In the Lab requires the base game. Two of the 3 scenarios also require Pandemic: On the Brink to play.
Part of the Pandemic series.

Whereas On the Brink changes the dynamics of the disease, In the Lab changes the dynamics of the research team.

Absolutely takes vanilla Pandemic from a game I enjoy totally over the top and into my top 10. Now, instead of just collecting cards, there's a whole sub game of discovering disease "molecules"

Lab variant is really cool after playing it four times. Considering the fact that this expansion offers more than that variant, I need more plays before I give a better rating for it. Traded away on 08.2022.
