About the game
What you do in a play session
Hey everyone! If you already enjoy the adrenaline rush of Flash Point: Fire Rescue and think the base game has you sweating, check out this expansion: Tragic Events! It's here to add extra spice to your cooperative experience, replacing the 'Hot Spot' mechanic with 'Fire' and 'Event' decks designed to make each game more unpredictable and exciting. Imagine this: new emergency situations popping up out of nowhere, forcing you and your firefighting team to improvise and adapt on the fly!
Furthermore, Tragic Events introduces three new specialists to your crew. We have the Strategist, who's a master planner; the Suppression Specialist, the one who puts out fires faster; and the Prevention Specialist, who tries to stop the chaos from spreading. Each comes with their own exclusive miniature, adding that special touch to your game table.
This expansion is for those who want more challenges and twists in Flash Point. The new event and fire cards create dynamic scenarios that demand constant coordination and adaptation from the team. It's the kind of game that keeps you on the edge of your seat, yelling 'Go, team!' as you try to save people and control the blaze. If you love the base game and are looking for an extra dose of tension and novelty, Tragic Events is a must-have. Get your gear ready, because the danger just got real!
