About the game
What you do in a play session
Remember that nostalgia of playing capture the flag in the backyard with friends? Flag Dash brings that exact feeling to your table, but with a twist of strategy and plenty of mischief! Here, you take on the role of one of several childhood friends who decided to reunite to relive this classic. The goal is simple: capture the opposing team's flag and bring it home, or collect all the flags the opponents are carrying. But don't think it's just about running!
The game shines in its tactical depth. In each round, you must secretly plan your next two moves using action cards and priority tokens. The real challenge is that everyone selects their actions simultaneously, creating that tense 'is he going there?' atmosphere. You control a runner with a unique special ability and share a defender with your teammate, which requires serious coordination.
Featuring delightful characters—get ready to encounter everyone from a Modern Cowboy to a Crazy Cat Lady!—Flag Dash offers a lighthearted experience with layers of depth that might surprise you. It's a movement programming game where a miscalculation could mean your opponent steals your flag right at the finish line. If you enjoy fast-paced games with direct interaction and great replayability in pairs or larger groups, get ready for the dash!
