Does this work with the original pandemic, the second edition, or both?

This expansion is compatible with the 2nd edition only. You can buy compatibility packs direct from the publisher if you have an original edition of the base game.

Yes, it is compatibility, but not exactly. Only the backing of 6 optional cards will look different from the original game. You can buy card sleeves for your cards that costs like $1 or $2 and that would solve the problem. But if you don't care about the back of the cards, then it won't matter at all.

I'm using it on the 2014 edition, not sure how different they are from each other

I don't know what the deal is with the 2nd edition.. it says Copyright 2004 on the box.. but the other catch phrase game doesn't say 2nd edition, yet it says Copyright 2009.

I feel like Pandemic gets boring after awhile whereas Forbidden Island remains fun. It helps that the board changes with every game as well.

No you can't . The 2nd edition cards have a different look to them. If you go to zman games they have a conversion card set. To make the first edition base set compatible with the 2nd edition OTB. and vis versa. It runs I think $20.00 it adds the 2 new role cards that are added to the 2nd edition base set and the new card look.

You can play without the bioterrorist, using five players. "5-Player Game: Pandemic can be played with 5 players. During setup, deal a Role card to the 5th player and 2 Player cards (as with 4 players) to each player."

depends on the product you buy (regular version, educator version, etc) The educator version was two PCs when I my wife bought it. I don't know about other versions.

I have both versions available. Sorry for the confusion on the description I will change it as soon as possible.

The second edition is a full game with an updated rules set. It does not require the first edition.

It worked for me. The previous version has to be registered with Steinberger for this to work.

Nope! This version serves as a base set (victory cards and treasure cards), so it will work in place of the original if you're using an expansion

Hi, I also love Pandemic, Elder Sign is better with 4 players in my experience, but I enjoy a lot playing with my brother in law. It's a great mechanic with amazing graphics. Arkham horror takes forever just to setup, elder sign can be learn by anyone in a few minutes. Elder sign is a good game. If you want to make it better read a few stories from Lovecraft and use horror ambient music.

You use both. The ITL board is sort of like a mini game. When you go to a lab on the main board, you then use the ITL board to try and figure out the cure. So, you no longer just trade in the 5 cards to cure. You still need the 5 cards but you also have to complete the virus code using the different colored cubes. It's fairly simple to pick up if you're familiar with the main game. My wife and I love it.

I just received the 2nd edition. This includes the new 4th edition compatible colonies.

No, all it means is that it you can now play up to 5 people. You can still play with minimal players though it might be harder. Both of the expansions to Pandemic add a little more mystery to the game and make it just a little harder. You can still play with 4 people.

Sorry but I do not know that answer. You can probably contact Neat receipts and ask if they have a compatible version.

Yes - it works fine with both. I have only tested the presenter features with PowerPoint (2010 and 2013). But as a mouse it works the same as any other mouse.
