About the game
What you do in a play session
Flash Point: Fire Rescue – Veteran and Rescue Dog adds two new character cards and exclusive miniatures that spice up cooperative firefighting sessions. The Veteran is a seasoned firefighter; while not the fastest, he can avoid being knocked down and can grant extra action points to nearby teammates, boosting the crew’s efficiency in critical moments. The Rescue Dog, on the other hand, has fewer action options but receives more action points per turn, allowing it to sprint to victims and haul them to safety. Both heroes were originally Kickstarter Extreme Danger backer rewards, now available for purchase. They slot neatly into the game’s Action Points, Grid Movement and Dice Rolling mechanics, letting players experiment with new strategies without altering the core system. As an expansion for the base game, no additional supplements are required—just drop the cards and minis into the original box and assign the roles. Their unique abilities increase replay value, as each round can focus on the Veteran’s support, the Dog’s speed, or a blend of both for balanced fire‑fighting. Complexity stays low (weight 1.85), making it perfect for 2‑6 players seeking a quick (≈45‑minute) cooperative experience. In short, the pack delivers thematic variety, quality components and fresh coordination options while keeping the gameplay flow smooth.
