<p>In Pandemic On The Brink, the wording for the "New Assignment" special event card says:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>Any player (including the current player) may discard their current Role card and select a new one from the unused ones in the box.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>Our reading of this card is that <strong>all</strong> players may chose to change their role cards when this card is played. Is this correct?</p>

Our reading of this card is that **all** players may chose to change their role cards when this card is played. Is this correct?
