112: Brandgefährlich

cooperative fire-fighting

Fire alarm was given, and players try to assemble five pieces of equipment. If they do so before four fires are out of control, all win together. 49 cards are laid out according to the version template, in a 7x7 grid. The active player reveals a card; an equipment part is put - as first part or additional suitable part - into one outside corner of the display. A fire card is displayed openly. A pail of water quenches one fire. For a Joker, players decide together about its use for an equipment part or a pail. If a revealed card cannot be placed or used, you put it back face-down. A completed piece equipment is set aside and a new one can be begun in this corner. When four fires are on display at the same time, all players lose together.

The version FIRE EMERGENCY is meant for up to 8 players, ages 9, it is therefore the family version of the game. In this version, one player is also the Smoke Detector and holds six smoke cards. If a revealed card cannot be used instantly, a smoke card is put into the display. When all cards are displayed, you turn one of them to the fire side and the others are collected for re-use. When players know the positions of more parts for a piece of equipment then there are parts in a corner for another piece, you can swap the respective parts. introduces smoke cards that turn to fire eventually, and allows swapping of equipment. Location cards introduce address information to the game, which must be named in addition of five completed pieces of equipment to win the game.

This is a thrilling and very attractive version of a memo game, with tactics coming into play in the FIRE EMERGENCY variant.
