Flash Point Fire Rescue

Honor & Duty

Fire alarm – all players cooperate to save victims from buildings on fire. The building is set up; each player must spend four action points in his turn to move, fight the fire, demolish walls, roll for the fire progress – when smoke is placed on smoke, it turns to fire – and replenish information markers. When fire reaches a spot on fire, there is an explosion. When the building crashes and you have managed to save seven victims, all players win together. The core game offers two versions for a family game and a game for experienced players, featuring random set up, vehicles and vehicle actions.

The expansion Honor & Duty for Flash Point Fire Rescue introduces a new double-sided board with an airplane on one side and a subway station on the other side, plus new markers for Foam, Fire and Deck Gun Targets. For both locations there are special rules for the boards, for set-up and actions. The subway is deemed to be extremely dangerous and difficult terrain, therefore there are double movement costs when crossing green lines. A Firefighter on a space with sprinkler symbol can take the Sprinkler Release action. On the airport you cannot use the Structural Engineer and spaces within the fuselage can only be cooled by the Deck Gun. The Kickstarter edition features the Fire Prevention specialist and a 2^nd board with an alternate attic and basement. To play those boards you need the core game and the expansions Extreme Danger or 2^nd Story.

It is hair-raisingly thrilling if you manage to get a grip on the danger to airport or subway; the expansions introduces nothing really new, but well-made and well-working variation to the core game.
