The era of the dinosaurs is here! Your goal in Chomp is to form herds of dinos and make sure they are all fed. Herbivores and carnivores both need food sources, but if the carnies are not properly fed, they don't mind chomping an herbie to fill their bellies! Gameplay involves dual rows of goal tiles and dino tiles, and each turn players select one tile to add to their personal arrangement. Goal tiles stay off to the side for endgame scoring, and dino tiles are arranged in front of each player. Dino tiles include three sizes each of herbivores and carnivores. Each tile must overlap previous ones, either on top of a quarter tile, half tile, or even a whole tile, ensuring that any covered dinos are completely hidden. Adjacent dinos of the same species form herds, which will eat together if connected to a single food source — or die together if they are unfed, adjacent to a tar pit, or next to an otherwise unfed carnivore! At the end of the game, each living and fed dino scores 1-3 points depending on its size, and the player with the highest score wins. Features vibrant colors and clear and concise scoring instruction and iconography. Low barrier to entry and learning curves allowing a quick and comprehensive learn to play (approximately 5 min or less or so) Ease of rule set allows skilled and beginners alike the opportunity to have fun and be competitive. Innovative card laying and tableau building lends to high replayability and interesting choices.

The three challenges included with this expansion evolve the base game mechanics in exciting ways. One disease might become a Virulent Strain and become more difficult to treat as the game goes on. Or you could introduce an unpredictable fifth disease with the Mutation challenge and watch it pop up in unexpected places. Finally, teamwork is even more important if a fifth player dons the mask of the Bio-Terrorist and spreads panic while moving secretly across the board. Try each challenge individually or combine them all for a major test! On the Brink also includes more of what made Pandemic an instant classic. With seven new roles and eight new event cards, the expansion injects even more variety into your globe-trotting adventures.

This expansion adds two thrilling challenges to the dice-based Pandemic: The Cure. You’ve traveled the world, collected disease samples, and researched cures. But new challenges are emerging. The Experimental Meds super-expansion builds on the Pandemic: The Cure dice-based game of curing diseases. Adapt to the escalating situation as a fifth purple disease with a unique set of dice behaves in unpredictable ways. Purple dice can lead to even more infections or modify your attempts to find a cure in strange—and sometimes beneficial—ways. Counter this threat with one of the eight new roles, including the Celebrity Activist, Archivist, and Field Director. Each role brings its own game altering abilities and dice to the table, offering even more varied approaches to your disease-fighting efforts. Combined with the eleven new event cards, Experimental Meds provides tools to handle any threat. If you’re looking for even more of a challenge, try the Hot Zones Challenge. Rather than representing a new disease, the eleven Hot Zone dice represent different effects—positive and negative—that existing diseases have on that region. Some results might let you move a hot zone or infection die from your current region to an adjacent one. Others might force you to spend extra dice to travel to a region, or draw an additional infection die from the bag during an outbreak. No matter what dice are present, each hot zone offers a unique challenge to you and your team. This product is an expansion: Pandemic: The Cure base game required to play.
