On the Brink

On the Brink is one of the four expansions for Pandemic.
Released in 2009, the initial official expansion introduced several additions to Pandemic. It included new roles, rule variations for accommodating a fifth player, additional Special Event cards, and fresh challenges for players to confront.
This expansion incorporated eight Role Cards, featuring a revised Operation Expert card and the inclusion of a Bio-Terrorist card, introducing a competitive element where one player opposes the rest of the team. Challenges presented in On the Brink comprised a fifth disease, Mutation, requiring cure or absence at the game board during victory scoring. The Virulent Strain challenge heightened the danger of one disease, replacing standard Epidemic cards with new ones, each representing a unique detrimental effect on gameplay.
