Matt Leacock is most well known for the the Pandemic games, but he has a few other designer credits to his name.  One of those is Thunderbirds from Modiphius Entertainment.  It must have had a successful run, because Modiphius has announced a second expansion for the game.

But beware the Hood’s schemes are also more deadly than ever! So International Rescue must develop their skills and learn to work together under pressure to thwart his dastardly wiles.

Fortunately the completion of some missions and certain rescues will now help International Rescues worldwide operation and save even more human lives.
