Played once and seems to remove the idea of the game which is to travel and trade cards. The lab just requires actions and reduces the cards needed in hand to cure a disease.

Owned but haven't played yet. Seems at a glance to be a nice expansion which adds further completion to a coptetive game

Initial impressions: I'm really liking the changes this brings to the way the game plays. On the Brink has lots more content, but other than the Bioterrorist that we never use it doesn't really change the way the game is played. In the Lab makes it feel like a completely new game, which is excellent. I could even see there being times when my group wants to play without In the Lab in order to switch things up. My only concern is that the changes seem like they will really limit the usefulness of roles that are primarily useful for trading cards/acquiring sets of cards, or for reducing the number of cards needed for a cure. In our plays so far, getting players with the cards they need has been pretty easy without any trading at all.
