Pandemie-Erweiterung

The pandemic extension "On Messers Schneide" offers new player roles and event cards as well as three new challenges that make the game even more exciting. The original rules of the extension can be found on the page to be downloaded.

To date, the six new roles and the new event cards and the challenge "mutation" have been implemented in the board game world.

The new player roles

The All-rounders has five actions available per train.

At the beginning of the train, the Crisis management view the uppermost maps of the infection trajectory stack, wherein the number of maps corresponds to the level of the current infection rate. During the direct flight action, it must show the city map used, but do not drop it.

Entering the containment expert a city in which at least two cubes of the same colour are located, it may remove one of them. This effect occurs automatically and does not cost any action. This also applies in the train of a fellow player.

In the action "treat disease" the Field researchers place the removed cube on its roller map instead of in stock, but at most once per train. For this, he only needs three cards of the same color when he outputs three dice of this color (from his roller map).

The Archives may have up to eight hand cards. For an action, it may take the map of the city in which its play figure is located straight from the player's deposit stack, but at most once per train.

In the action "sharing knowledge" the epidemiologist the map of any city, but not more than once per train and only on its own train. Both characters must be in the same city.

The Operating expert because of the basic game, there is still another capacity in the expansion: if he is in a city with a research laboratory, he can carry out a charter flight from there by laying down any city map.

The challenge "Mutation"

With mutation, a new disease comes into play, which appears unpredictable and increases.

In addition, there are now twelve purple epidemic cubes in play. In addition, three mutation event cards are randomly mixed into the player train stack at the start of play and two mutation cards are placed on the infection deposit stack.

The violet disease can come into play in three ways:

A mutation card is revealed by the infectious pile: Now the bottom card of the pile of infections is drawn and a violet epidemic cube is placed in this city. Both cards then come to the infection storage stack.
A mutation event card is redrawn from the player stack: In this case, the instructions on the map are followed. For two later mutation cards, the player may determine the order itself. If a mutation card and an epidemic card are drawn, the mutation card only has an effect.
If at the end of a round a city is drawn from the pile of infections, in which there is already a purple stone, a stone of the corresponding color as well as a purple stone is placed in this city.

Otherwise, the violet disease is treated just like any other disease (proliferation, healing, outbreaks, extinction). Exemption: In the case of a epidemic a city in which violet stones are also located is ignored. As in the basic game, only three stones of the card color are used.

To Healing the violet epidemic must be given five city maps. At least one card must be from a city in which at the moment at least one purple stone is located! Analogously, the scientist has to give four cards, the field researcher three arbitrary and three violet dice. It is also true for these two that one of the cards is a city with purple stone.

The Winning conditions are similar to the basic game:

Players can win if they either all five counters have you not discovered? or the four antidotes of the "old" disease have discovered and there are no more dice of the violet disease on the field of play.
Lost the game will be under the same conditions as the basic game. Note that only half as many of the violet dice are in play!

In case of success, the score for a game is increased by a quarter, i.e. to 1/5/20/80.
