About the game

What you do in a play session

Flash Point: Fire Rescue – Extreme Danger is the expansion that turns your rescue kit into a blazing battlefield of even greater intensity. It adds six new building configurations, letting you set up 2 to 6 player scenarios, and when paired with the 2nd Story expansion, you get four more buildings to mix things up. The pack includes firefighter miniatures with colored bases, explosive tokens, hazardous equipment, and fire‑proof doors—everything to make the game feel more realistic and visually striking. The core goal stays the same: save lives and control the blaze before the building collapses, but now there are more challenges, more strategy, and more adrenaline. The action‑point system lets each firefighter perform up to three moves or actions per turn, while dice rolls decide who can navigate the smoke or break through a door. Grid movement adds a tactical layer, forcing you to plan each step carefully. If you love cooperative games where communication and coordination are key, Flash Point remains your best friend. The simulation mechanics make the game feel like real rescue training, with fire that spreads and smoke that blocks vision. And the variety of player powers ensures every game feels fresh. Bottom line: if you want more excitement, variety, and challenge in a rescue game, this expansion is the missing piece for your table.
