Pandemic: In the Lab

About this expansion

Pandemic: In the Lab is a cooperative expansion for 1–6 players, with games lasting about 60 minutes. It adds a new laboratory game board where scientists pursue cures for diseases in a race against time.

Behind sealed bio-hazard doors, players use the lab to sequence diseases, take samples, and test cures. The goal remains the same as in the base game—finding cures for diseases—but the challenge unfolds through a new approach and a dedicated laboratory setting.

This second expansion for Pandemic introduces several ways to deepen the experience:

• A new game board for moving pawns in the laboratory
• Four new roles
• New Virulent Strain events
• A Worldwide Panic Mutation scenario
• Individual competition or rival teams for four or six players

Can your team coordinate its work in the lab and save humanity before time runs out? Players can also compete individually, or form rival teams when playing with four or six players, creating a different structure for the race to develop cures.

Pandemic: In the Lab requires the Pandemic base game. Two of its three scenarios also require Pandemic: On the Brink to play. Whether you are continuing your Pandemic series collection or looking for new laboratory-focused challenges, this expansion brings disease research, testing, and team competition to the forefront.
