It's a fun game! I'd definitely recommend getting a nice grove going with the base game before jumping into the expansions, you'll get more enjoyment out of it that way!
After watching your inspiring video I tried putting together Pandemic with all 3 expansions in a single box. I used the ribbon idea for both the cards and the vials. I left out a lot of duplicate or rarely used pieces. (Exclusions are from In the Lab - 3xTeam Research Stations, 8xGoal Cards, 10xBonus Cards, 14x[+2xBlank]Award Markers together with additional Pawns from other Expansions [2xGreens, 1xYellow, 1xOrange, 1xPurple and 1xBlack], additional Cards [2xPurple, 4xBlank, 7xGreen Epidemic(I only use the Virulent Epidemic Cards) 7xReference Cards] and 1xPurple Cure Marker). The lid closes with a 10mm gap from the bottom and is a little wobbly but quite acceptable. So how did i manage to fit 4 sets in one box. 1) 3 x Stacks of Cards sorted in their various sets (with ribbon in the centre stack to help lift the cards) 2) 5 x Cure Vials (with ribbon in the centre to help lift the vials) 3) At the top slots - 4xVaccine Factories - 3xPawns and 1xReminder Marker - 7xPawns, 1xResearch Station, 1xCure Marker, 1xOutbreaks Marker and 1xInfection Rate Marker (all tightly packed together) 4) At the bottom slots - 5xResearch Stations - 7xPawns, 4xCure Markers (all tightly packed together) 5) At the Petri Dish slots - bottom - 1xPetri Dishes with 24xPurple Disease Cubes together with Red and Blue Transparent Disks in one hole and Yellow and Blue Transparent Disks in the other hole. In the remaining two holes i keep the Quarantine Markers (very tight fit) and a bag of 24xVaccine Doses. (The Transparent Disks are very thin disks so they fit easily - i noticed there are earlier editions of State of Emergency with Transparent Disks that are much thicker so not sure if the thick ones would fit) 6) At the Petri Dish slots - top - the 4 other Petri Dishes with Disease Cubes - in the middle a bag of 12xPurple Disease Cubes (it makes it easier if i decide to play the On the Brink Mutation Challenge 7) At the hole between the Cure Vials and the Petri Dish where you keep the Bio-Terrorist i instead keep the Hinterlands Die 8) Next I place the remaining items in the following order - Hinterlands Board, The Lab Board, Pandemic Main Board, Bio-Terrorist Location Sheets and the 4 Rule Books
@@BoardGamesBricksHobbies yeah, I understand. It’s definitely the least good of them all. I just really wanted all the roles really and there are some good ones like First Respondent and Pharmacist. The expansions make the game pretty brutal. I don’t really like the Hinterlands boards but the emergency events can be fun. In all, I agree, the first three are all you need really.
Hmm, I'm not sure what's going on. The two larger slots should hold 7 pawns each while the smaller one holds 3. The "Bioterrorist" pawn sits in its own spot above the vials. You could try putting some pawns upside down?
@@INFAMOUSCORONA I just double checked my copy and it seems that the pawns are all slightly different sizes. So I would try swapping some of them around until they fit.
Good question, I could have been more clear. While both "On the Brink" and "In the Lab" include the new insert, only OtB includes the petri dishes. ItL also requires components from OtB to play some of its modules.

Thank you for this. Our group just played Pandemic for the first time today and ive started looking at the expansions. This will be a great help!

Great video man! I hate having multiple boxes for the same game! Thank you!
You're welcome, glad this helped!

Cool, that's some next level re-boxing!
Awesome sauce. I knew someone would have explained how I can get everything in the box. Thank you.
You're welcome! I'm glad this helped
Thank you. Really helpful
Happy to help!
A shame there isn’t a decent insert available that allows you to fit the State of Emergency expansion and sleeved cards in too
Yeah, I don't have state of emergency as I don't really care for the modules it adds, but it is unfortunate for those who do have all three.

Sleeved cards fit nicely when you cut 2 sides of the card insert
@@kurpiainenDoes this not compromise the structural integrity of the insert?
Excellent explanation! Thank you.
Glad to be of assistance! Happy gaming!
너무 감사드립니다.
확장팩 정리를 어떻게 해야하는지 큰 도움이 되었습니다.
좋은영상 감사드립니다
So helpful. Thank you!
Glad this was helpful!
im in love with pandemic
I'm glad you enjoy the game! What's your favorite part?
How come I can’t fit 7 pawns on one side of the insert
Hmm, I'm not sure what's going on. The two larger slots should hold 7 pawns each while the smaller one holds 3. The "Bioterrorist" pawn sits in its own spot above the vials. You could try putting some pawns upside down?
Same. My 7th pawn makes the rest pop up
@@INFAMOUSCORONA I just double checked my copy and it seems that the pawns are all slightly different sizes. So I would try swapping some of them around until they fit.
Where did you get those Petri dishes? My boxes didn’t provide me with them. But I did have the insert.
Good question, I could have been more clear. While both "On the Brink" and "In the Lab" include the new insert, only OtB includes the petri dishes. ItL also requires components from OtB to play some of its modules.
Once I get the expansions I'll have to use this method!
Cool! Did you acquire the game recently?
I did last Christmas! One of my favorite games to play
Glad you enjoy it, I definitely consider it a modern classic!
