These new challenges, which can be used individually or combined for even more difficult play, are as follows: The Virulent Strain challenge makes one disease become particularly deadly in unpredictable ways. The Mutation challenge adds a fifth (purple) disease that behaves differently than the original four. The Bio-Terrorist challenge pits one player against the others! Part of the Pandemic series.
