Pandemic: On the Brink includes new event cards, new role cards, rules for five players, and optional game challenges to increase the difficulty of the Pandemic base game. These new challenges, which can be used individually or combined for even more difficult play, are as follows:
The Virulent Strain challenge makes one disease become particularly deadly in unpredictable ways.
The Mutation challenge adds a fifth (purple) disease that behaves differently than the original four.
The Bio-Terrorist challenge pits one player against the others!
Part of the Pandemic series.

On the Brink makes an awesome game even better! More roles, more play modes, and more fun! The only drawback is that the box will no longer close properly if you combine OtB with Pandemic.

In the list of must-have expansion, it adds to your masochistic sense of challenge enough powder to shoot the gun a lot more times than expected.

Solid expansion. Fantastic insert. Great quality components. Adds a good variety of additions to the game. Best expansion for the game IMHO
