Danger: When players roll a Danger die and consult the reference card, they now have the option to use this alternate ISS Danger die. With a higher chance of rolling more negative results, this die adds an exciting element of risk to each roll. But its not all doom and gloom - some sides also feature a special symbol with a highly positive effect! —description from the publisher
