There are 3 new game modes, the possibility of playing with 5 players and the possibility to make it even harder with 7 Epidemic cards. There are also a few new roles and new Event cards.
Here are the rules for the base game:

http://files.boardgamegeek.com/file/download/4oxrcf4len/PandemicOTB_rules.pdf?Pandemic is a cooperative game. You and your fellow players are members of a disease control team, working together
to research cures and prevent additional outbreaks. Each of you will assume a unique role within the team, with special
abilities that will improve your team’s chances if applied wisely. The object is to save humanity by discovering cures to
four deadly diseases (Blue, Yellow, Black, and Red) that threaten to overtake the planet.
If you and your team aren’t able to keep the diseases contained before finding the necessary cures, the planet will be
overrun and the game will end in defeat for everyone... Do you have what it takes to save humanity?Setup:This is a 4 player base game with randomized roles (but without any roles from Pandemic I to show newer players the game).
And we're playing with
Virulent Strain and
Mutation.
Difficulty level: Standard, so there will be 5 Virulent Strain cards.
Player cards are visible to everyone.
Short Rules Summary:1.) On your turn make 4 of the following 8 availiable Actions:
a.)
Drive/Ferry Move your pawn to an adjacent city.
b.)
Direct Flight Play a card from your hand and move your pawn to the pictured city.
c.)
Charter Flight Play the card corresponding to your pawn’s current location, and move to any city on the board.
d.)
Shuttle Flight If your pawn is in a city with a Research Station, move it to any other city with a Research Station.
e.)
Build A Research Station Play the card corresponding to the city your pawn currently occupies, then place a Research Station in that city.
f.)
Discover A Cure If your pawn is in a city with a Research Station, discard 5 cards of the same color to cure the corresponding disease.
g.)
Treat Disease Remove a disease cube from the city your pawn occupies. If the cure of that color is already discovered, remove all disease cubes from that city.
h.)
Share Knowledge If your pawn and another player’s pawn are in the same city, you may transfer the card of the city that you are in together to this player.
2.) Draw 2 Player Cards
Hand Limit is 7 cards. Special Event cards can be played at any time. Virulent Strain and Mutation Event cards must be immediately executed.
Virulent Strain:When the first Virulent Strain comes up, the disease with the most cubes on the board is the Virulent Strain.
a.) The Infection Rate Indicator moves up by one on the Infection Rate Track.
b.) The bottom card from the Infection Draw Pile is placed on the Infection Discard Pile and 3 cubes to this city are added. This could cause an Outbreak (see below).
c.) The Infection Discard Pile gets shuffled and then placed on top of the remaining Infection Draw Pile.
d.) The Virulent Strain effect are applied. They may have a continuing effect.
3.) Infector
Draw cards from the Infection Draw Pile equal to the current Infection Rate and add one cube to the pictured cities, using a cube of the same color as each card. If a city already has 3 cubes in it of the color being added, instead of adding a cube to the city, an Outbreak occurs in that color. That means that you move the Outbreaks Marker up one space on the Outbreak Indicator. And any adjacent city gets a cube of that color instead what may cause another Outbreak and more and more chain reactions.
Mutation:There is a 5th disease with half as much cubes, the purple mutations.
There are 2 Mutation cards starting on top of the Infection Discard Pile. If the get drawn, draw one Infection card from the bottom of the Infection Draw Pile and 1 purple cube goes to that city. There are also 3 Mutation Event cards in the Player card pile and they must be executed immediately when they get drawn. During the infection phase, if an Infection
card is drawn for a city with at least 1 purple cube on it, both 1 purple cube and 1 cube of the indicated color are added. Th e purple disease can be cured if a player, for an action, discards 5 city cards (in any combination of colors) at a research station. At least one of these cards must depict a city which currently contains one or more purple cubes.
Winning/Losing conditions:You
win if you have cured all 5 diseases or the 4 basic diseases and fully treated the purple disease.
You
lose if
a.) there aren’t enough cards in the Player Draw Pile to draw.
b.) there aren’t enough cubes left of any color in the supply.
c.) th e eighth outbreak occurs.
Roles:The
Dispatcher may move other player’s pawns on his turn (Basic actions a-d) as if they were his own pawn. He may also move a pawn to any city that contains another pawn.
The
Operations Expert may build a Research Station without discarding the corresponding card of the city he's standing on. Once per turn, for an action, while his pawn is at a research station, he may discard any city card to move to any city.
Th e
Scientist only needs 4 cards of a color to discover the cure of the corresponding disease.
The
Researcher may
give a player
any card from his hand when involved in a Share Knowledge action even on another player's turn.
Th e
Medic may remove all the cubes of a single color when performing the Treat Disease action. If the cure of the city he's standing on is already discovered, all disease cubes from that city are automatically removed without spending an action.
The
Archivist's hand limit is 8 cards. Once per turn, for an action, you may draw the city card matching the city your pawn currently occupies from the Player Discard Pile.
The
Generalist gets 5 actions to spend each turn.
When the
Containment Specialist enters a city, if 2 or more cubes of the same color are present, 1 of them is removed.
The
Epidemiologist may take a non-matching city card from a player whose pawn is in the city you are in.
The
Troubleshooter At the start of your turn, peek at the number of cards equal to the current infection rate on top of the Infection Draw Pile. When moving to a city via a Direct (not Charter) Flight, the utilized city card doesn't get discarded.
The
Field Operative may once per turn, for an action, take 1 cube from a city he is in to his Role card. He may cure a disease at a research station by turning in 3 cubes and 3 cards, all of the same color.
Forum Rules:Please try to look in this thread at least once per day.
I don't think we need a move deadline. But try to make a move within 2 days.
I'll then update the map regularly.
Communication isn't only allowed, it's demanded.
In your turn, write all your 4 player actions in bold.
Example:
Charter Flight to Essen (discard Santiago)
Build a Research Station (discard Essen)
Discover the blue Cure (discard Paris, Madrid, London, Atlanta, San Francisco)
Treat DiseaseSign-up:Please post here if you want to sign-up. On
Sunday 18th, I will then choose 4 random players; players who haven't played in Pandemic I are prioritized,
