Pandemic
Can I play the base game with just the In the Lab roles and events, without the challenges?
The designer suggested this in 2016, and the role limits come from the rulebook.

Yes. All the challenges are optional, and the designer suggests starting with the base game plus the new roles and events. The revised Researcher and Epidemiologist only gain their extra abilities in the Lab challenge; otherwise they keep their normal abilities, and the Field Operative is not used in the Lab challenge.
