Game Mechanic: Simulation

The call comes in... "911, what is your emergency?" On the other end is a panicked response of "FIRE!" Moments later you don the protective suits that will keep you alive, gather your equipment and rush to the scene of a blazing inferno. The team has only seconds to assess the situation and devise a plan of attack – then you spring into action like the trained professionals that you are. You must face your fears, never give up, and above all else work as a team because the fire is raging, the building is threatening to collapse, and lives are in danger. You must succeed. You are the brave men and women of fire rescue; people are depending on you. This is what you do every day. Flash Point: Fire Rescue is a cooperative game of fire rescue. There are two versions of game play in Flash Point, a basic game and expert game. In both variants, players are attempting to rescue 7 of 10 victims from a raging building fire. As the players attempt to rescue the victims, the fire spreads to other parts of the building, causing structural damage and possibly blocking off pathways through the building. Each turn a player may spend action points to try to extinguish fires, move through the building, move victims out of the building or perform various special actions such as moving emergency vehicles. If 4 victims perish in the blaze or the building collapses from taking too much structural damage, the players lose. Otherwise, the players win instantly when they rescue a 7th victim. The expert variant included in the game adds thematic elements such as flash over, combustible materials, random setup, and variations on game difficulty from novice to heroic. The game includes a double sided board with two different building plans and several expansion maps are available.

Flash Point: Fire Rescue - 2nd Story, an expansion pack for Flash Point: Fire Rescue, contains two double-sided mounted game boards and a counter sheet that contains ladders, windows, an explosion marker, and more. Each game board represents one floor of a building, and the player firefighters will need to cover more area in this expansion to keep things under control. Ladders and stairs provide access to the upper building level, and windows let firefighters enter and leave the building without causing structural damage.

Flash Point: Fire Rescue - Dangerous Waters takes the firefighting experience to – and below – the seas. This expansion for Flash Point: Fire Rescue includes two double-sided half boards (similar to those in the 2nd Story expansion) that represent a ship on one side and a part of a submarine on the other. The interior of the ship features an engine room, cabins and heat-conducting steel walls on a 6x8 game board, while the submarine is an elongated 3x16 game board that features victims who can't just leap out of a window to safety – and who might be in danger even within the sick bay.

Flash Point: Fire Rescue - Extreme Danger Kickstarter Bonus Pack is a collection of promos for Flash Point: Fire Rescue given out to backers of the Flash Point: Fire Rescue – Extreme Danger Kickstarter campaign.

Flash Point: Fire Rescue - Honor & Duty, an expansion for Flash Point: Fire Rescue, consists of a double-sided game board that features an airplane fire on one side and a subway station disaster on the opposite side. Also included are several new game markers and detailed instructions for playing with these new materials. The first edition of this game, sold via Kickstarter, includes a new specialist card, the Fire Prevention Officer, and a double-side game board with an alternative attic and basement layouts; these items will not be included in the retail edition of this expansion. Honor & Duty requires the Flash Point: Fire Rescue base game, and the attic/basement game board also requires the Extreme Danger or the 2nd Story expansion.

Urban Structures is an expansion pack for Flash Point: Fire Rescue. It was initially printed in low quantities in 2011 for supporters of the Kickstarter project for the base game. It is now available commercially. It comes with 2 additional maps as well as a "Structural Engineer" role card.

Ahhhh... it's a hot lazy summer in your little suburb of the world and you're eleven years old again! You've played with your friends and explored on your bike and you're old enough to get excited by the prospects of earning some money. You've got $0.25 burning a hole in your pocket and your mom even offers to give you a shiny silver dollar to invest in your scheme. You're starting a lemonade stand! You've got just one week until the Fourth of July and you want to earn as much as possible to blow all of your profits on smoke bombs, bottle rockets and even some M-80s this year! Of course some of your friends are copying your idea – why do they always do that? It is going to be an epic battle for bragging rights and fireworks as you compete with one another to see who will have the most money at the end of the week! Lemonade Stand is played over seven turns (days), and each turn players start by turning over a forecast card which shows the weather forecast for the day along with number of customers and the price they will be willing to pay for each possible weather outcome. Players then place a 5, 10 or 15 cent price card down along with any signs or lemonade inventory they want to put out, all face down. All players reveal their cards at the same time and then a new forecast card is revealed which has an arrow pointing to one of five spots on the old forecast card, which determines which weather event occurred. Each player then collects money based on their price and # of glasses of lemonade invested versus the actual weather that happened. Money is gained or lost, and play continues for seven rounds. Most money wins!

Description from the publisher: "Based on the classic computer game" According to the box: "You may: 1. Travel the trail 2. Work together to overcome calamities 3. Get at least one member of your party to Oregon 4. Stop and rest 5. Decide which of your friends will die of dysentery 6. Write your name on a tombstone What is your choice?" All sorts of gruesome deaths await you and the rest of your wagon party in this official multi-player card game version of the classic computer game. To win you’ll need to keep one player alive all the way from Independence, MO to the Willamette Valley. But between rattlesnakes, starvation, dead oxen, broken bones, dysentery, and a host of other calamities the odds are long... almost as long as the Oregon Trail itself. Players work together to move along the trail, fording rivers and playing Supply Cards to overcome calamities. But be warned--there will be times when it makes sense to let one of your wagon mates succumb to a calamity rather than expend precious supplies. And every time players go the way of all flesh, you'll flip over the roster card and write their names on tombstones (don't forget to include a quick epitaph). It's a great way to relive your fond memories of one of the world’s most beloved computer games, and to kill off your family and friends at the same time.
