From the Z-Man Games Website
Alliance Game Distributors and Z-Man Games have heard your concerns
regarding the release of Pandemic: The Cure to stores in the US, and we
wanted to take this opportunity to communicate an update.
Z-Man’s
production partner, Panda Games based in China, had a delay in the
production of the custom dice for Pandemic: The Cure, which caused a
delay in the shipping of the product to North America. Z-Man Games and
Alliance discussed the issue and made a decision to complete the
assembly of the games in North America. Z-Man Games and Alliance worked
closely together, adding the dice to the boxes before shipping the
product to stores.

Z-Man Games Press Release - Game Announcement - Pandemic: The Cure
From the Z-Man Games Website
Pandemic: The Cure sets up in less than a minute and plays in 30 minutes. As in the board game, four diseases threaten the world and it's up to your team to save humanity. You and your team must keep the world's hotspots in check before they break out of control, while researching cures to the four plagues.
Players roll dice each turn to determine the actions available to them. They can fly and sail between the six major population centers of the world, treat disease in their current region, collect samples for further study, and exchange knowledge to help them in their goal of discovering cures. Each player takes on a different role that has its own unique set of dice and abilities — and players must take advantage of their specializations if they are to have any hope of winning the game. The Dispatcher, for example, can spend dice to fly others around the board, while the Medic is particularly adept at treating disease. Players can roll their dice as often as they like, but the more times they re-roll for the perfect turn, the more likely the next epidemic will occur.
At the end of each turn, new "infection dice" are rolled to determine the type and location of newly infected populations. If any region on the board is infected with more than four dice of a given color, an outbreak occurs, spreading disease into an adjacent region. If too many outbreaks take place, too many people get infected, or the rate of infection gets too high, all the players lose. If, however, the players can discover the cures to the four diseases, they all win and humanity is saved!
Pandemic: The Cure will be premiering at the BGG con from November 20th to the 24th. It will be available in stores in the second half of 2014.
