So do you use BOTH the main game board AND the board that comes with ITL? Or just the ITL? And if you ONLY use the ITL board how would that work?

When playing the "Lab Challenge" you use both boards, otherwise your only use the main board.

You use both boards; the In the Lab board holds the lab research process while you continue to play out the original game with ITL alterations. You do not have to use On The Brink with it.

You have to use in the lab with the oringinal pandemic game and on the brink. You gotta use all three expansions

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.

You use BOTH boards at the same time. The "lab" board is your new way to find cures for the diseases that are trying to destroy the world. Instead of simply discarding five cards of one color, you now have to take several steps in the lab to find the cure. And while that may sound harder, since it's several steps, it's balanced out by the fact that anybody can do any of the steps, so long as they are in a research station.My friends and I always play with the lab now. We find it a lot more thematic and fun and the challenge seems to be about the same.

my box says that you need a computer above Microsoft ME or XP. i called the Mattel help line and they said 'yes' you must use a computer with this item. I am returning it without opening it. Do I HAVE to use a computer to enjoy this item? the box and verbage online only talks about hooking up an MP3 player/Ipod. any help before I commit to returning this item?

These are add on pieces. In order to play you need the starter pack which includes three characters, game and activation base. These work for every game system that you have the base and game for.

Yes. The game board is slightly larger - one extra square in each direction. You can ignore the extras by covering them, or not. We don't own the original, and when we played this one our first time, we played by the original rules to get a feel for how it played before adding in the additional features.

Marcia, I can't answer that, but from I see I don't think it's a problem as some others state that it doesn't work with windows 7 and it does. It may not be a board for gaming, but from my experience it's worth the shot for the price.

This is one the 3 boards. Just make sure it is the correct one you need.thanks

I have played it many times with 2 players. It is a little less cut throat and a little more strategic because the board changes a lot less with just two players in between your turn. I would recomend it as a 2 player game.

Thanks for the answers. One more question, did any of you did a new install? based on the answers it seems that most or all of you just replace an old/broken board with this one. I am actually looking to do a new installation.

Good day, This pack contains only ONE Move Controller. I do believe you may have gotten mixed-up with the number '3' after 'Play Station'. I hope that I was able to answer your question clearly. Do create a wonderful day, Regards, Lorne Sandy.

actually the 5 to 6 player expansion works well with more expansion pieces to play seafarers, I have used it myself to play a few games like this and love it, and the guys who made this also released a pdf file for donators to use multiple expansion pieces to make a complete board, I am sure if you get one you can drop them an email asking for the pdf file

Yes, two people can play. You can even have two persons play two characters each to get four on the board.

My game came with 6 instruction booklets, each a different language. The components themselves are only imagery. So you only need the instruction booklet. I think you should be fine. If anything you can go to boardgamegeek.com and get the instructions in English :)

I just wanted to correct this. Leapster TV does offer a 2nd controller. I'm doing my homework on Leapster TV and Vsmile and I found out that Leapster TV does have a 2nd controller. You have to look at the games before you buy them to ensure the game is two player though

It comes with a board with levels 1-10. And pieces that represent your character on the board. That's about it, you're just paying for a game board and some game pieces. I think it's worth it, though.

Yes older children and adults like it if they like board games. It. is a strategy game that changes everytime you play it. You are trying to get to your treasure and every player around the board has to move a row of game pieces on every turn. So, the path you plan to use will change with each player's turn. You can move to help your self or block your opponents piece from getting to his treasure. My family enjoys the game.

Just wondering if anyone knows- can you buy the wireless motion tags separately from the game?? I just called Hasbro and the girl had no idea, she forwarded me to consumer affairs, but I keep getting a busy signal. Since there are games for two players, I assume you can buy motion tags, but where?? My four year old already lost one tag!! HELP!!**FOLLOW UP NOTE** You can only get the motion tags separately if you call Hasbro. If you need replacement tags, call 800-844-3733 and they will ship you your tags. **
