The feel of it

Why it lands at the table

Flash Point: Fire Rescue is a co-operative game about a burning building. Each firefighter spends action points to move, fight fire, open routes and carry people out, while smoke and flame spread at random after every turn.

The table plans together, and the plan changes every time the dice roll. There is a real sense of a building at risk of collapse.

Two to six players, about forty-five minutes.
