Now I have played several times with a friend and my wife the game. We were all excited. The simple rules are explained on approximately 6 pages and quickly understood. After about 10 min explanatory phase can even start with beginners immediately with the game. After "War of the Ring" I was initially "shocked" by the little game board. Also, the game is now not so much material here, such as in "Mage Knight". But still it somehow fits to the game and you get used to it. The game itself is very exciting and offers through the different game pieces (medics, logisticians, researcher, etc.) many tactical possibilities and according to the combination of selbigen also each time a different gaming experience. The possibility of the level of difficulty by the addition of 4, 5 or 6 Epidemic cards to increase is well done. Have played only two, but this did not spoil the gameplay. Could imagine that it makes with 4 people a great deal more fun to me. The game is a remake by ZMan. The old version is not known to myself, so I therefore can not draw any comparisons. Petri dishes are not there (but need not ...) definitely in the current version. There is an older extension for the game ("The Razor's Edge"), but at a price here on Amazon of about 150, -Euro. In this regard, I have taken up with the publisher ZMan contact. Here, I was assured that in May will take place the new edition of Expansion "The Razor's Edge" and the end of the German version of the English expansion "In the Lab" comes out. For (cheaper) replenishment is thus ensured.
