This is the Retail First Edition of Flash Point: Fire Rescue, featuring Firefighter Miniatures. When the 911 call comes in with a panicked 'FIRE!', you suit up, grab your gear, and rush to the inferno. As brave fire - rescue heroes, you must assess the situation fast, work as a team, face your fears, and never give up because lives are at stake. Flash Point: Fire Rescue is an exciting cooperative board game. It offers two game - play versions: a basic game and an expert game. In both, players aim to rescue 7 out of 10 victims from a burning building. As you try to save the victims, the fire spreads, causing structural damage and blocking paths. Each turn, spend action points to extinguish fires, move around, save victims, or perform special actions like moving emergency vehicles. Lose if 4 victims die or the building collapses. Win when you rescue the 7th victim. The expert variant adds themes like flash over, combustible materials, random setup, and different difficulty levels. The game comes with a double - sided board and expansion maps are available. At TheGameSteward, a good part of your purchase will back new games on Kickstarter. Contact us if you have any questions.
How to play: First, choose between the basic or expert game. Set up the board according to the game type you've chosen. Each player gets action points each turn. Use these points to move through the building, try to put out fires, move victims to safety, or perform special actions. The goal is to rescue 7 out of 10 victims. If 4 victims die or the building collapses, you lose. In the expert game, be ready for extra challenges like flash over and combustible materials. Note: Make sure to read the rules carefully before starting, especially for the expert game. Keep the game pieces in a safe place to avoid losing them. When storing the game, keep the board flat to prevent warping. If you want to clean the game pieces, use a soft, dry cloth.
