Auf Messers Schneide

To avoid that the fight against the four deadly plagues that threaten mankind turns into a routine operation the expansion provides components for a fifth player, six new role and eight new events, in three modules.

Basically you have – as in the core game – four actions per round for traveling, healing, researching and building. But time runs out, outbreaks and epidemics speed up the spreading of the plague.

Module 1 - „Virulenter Stamm“ – introduces new Epidemic cards, the plague with most plague cubes on the board turns into the virulent strain. Those epidemic cards introduce additional, once-only or permanent, problems, and with an epidemic cards not one but two plague cubes are placed into a city.

In Module 2 - „Mutation“ – a fifth plague erupts out of the blue, purple cubes for that plague are very limited. The new plague introduces two new winning conditions, players need to choose of them at the start of the game – either find a cure for all five plagues or find a cure for four plagues and erase the new plague, no purple cube can remain on the board. For a cure for the mutation you need one card each in the colors of the other plagues and a city card of a city with mutation.

In Module 3 „Bioterrorist“ one player confronts the others with an additional, laboratory-crafted plague. He does a turn after each player turn and commands special actions to introduce purple cubes into the game.

Auf Messers Schneide does exactly this, it keeps you and the game on the brink, all need to give their best to defeat the game, especially of you combine modules Mutation and Virulenter Stamm.
