Hey folks! Ready for a heart-pounding mission? In Flash Point, you and your firefighting team enter a burning house to rescue those trapped inside. But beware, it's no walk in the park! The fire spreads in a crazy way, with flashovers and explosions that can turn the game upside down. Every second counts and resources are limited, so communication and team strategy are essential to get out alive.
The goal is simple: rescue as many victims as possible before the house collapses or three people get seriously hurt. You'll have to use your action points to move, extinguish fires, break down walls, and of course, carry survivors to safety. Each firefighter has their own tricks, with unique abilities that aid the mission. To make things even more exciting, the game has advanced rules that include hazardous materials and even rescue vehicles, plus different scenarios each game. You can play solo or with up to six friends, and the difficulty level can be adjusted for beginners or seasoned veterans of the fire lines. It's a tense and super thematic cooperative game that will test your team's unity!
