The players are disease-fighting specialists whose mission is to treat disease hotspots while researching cures for each of four plagues before they get out of hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe game board depicts several major population centers on Earth. On each turn, a player can use up to four actions to travel between cities, treat infected populaces, discover a cure, or build a research station. A deck of cards provides the players with these abilities, but sprinkled throughout this deck are Epidemic! cards that accelerate and intensify the diseases' activity. A second, separate deck of cards controls the \"normal\" spread of the infections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTaking a unique role within the team, players must plan their strategy to mesh with their specialists' strengths in order to conquer the diseases. For example, the Operations Expert can build research stations which are needed to find cures for the diseases and which allow for greater mobility between cities; the Scientist needs only four cards of a particular disease to cure it instead of the normal five—but the diseases are spreading quickly and time is running out. If one or more diseases spreads beyond recovery or if too much time elapses, the players all lose.

Just like the original, you win or lose together as your team travels the globe treating diseases and keeping hot spots in check while researching cures. In this version, though, rolling dice determines everything from the outcome of your actions to the behavior of diseases. Each character has both a unique ability and a set of dice you roll at the start of each turn. Depending on the results, you can fly or sail between population centers, treat diseases in your region, collect samples for further study, or exchange information with other players. Try for the perfect turn by rerolling your unused dice, but each biohazard symbol that comes up brings you one step closer to the next epidemic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eROLL FOR A CURE\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDice represent more than just actions in Pandemic: The Cure. Each round, roll new infection dice and assign the results to regions around the world. An outbreak occurs if more than three dice of the same color occupy the same region, thereby spreading disease into adjacent regions. You can lock one of your dice to collect disease samples and fend off global disaster. Once you have enough, roll the collected samples of one color to attempt to find a cure. On a combined result of thirteen or more, you find the cure for that disease! Play the odds as you re-roll your player dice, ward off outbreaks and epidemics, and search for cures. No matter what you roll, the fate of the world is in your hands!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContents:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRulebook\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e48 Infection Dice (12 each in 4 colors)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7 Role Cards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7 Player Pawns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e37 Player Dice (in 7 colors)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6 Region Tiles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10 Event Cards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 Cured Diseases Card\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 Treatment Center\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 Outbreaks Syringe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 Infection Rate Syringe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 CDC Tile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 Infection Bag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAwards \u0026amp; Honors:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2014 Golden Geek Board Game of the Year Nominee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2014 Golden Geek Best Thematic Board Game Nominee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2014 Golden Geek Best Solo Board Game Nominee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2014 Golden Geek Best Family Board Game Nominee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2014 Board Game Quest Awards Best Coop Game Nominee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Asmodee","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48044007784500,"sku":"BH-57676254","price":84.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/6195\/0516\/files\/681706711508-pandemic-the-cure-1.jpg?v=1784376060"}],"url":"https:\/\/toyhero.co.nz\/collections\/series-pandemic.oembed","provider":"Toy Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
