Animal Rescue Team

About this board game

Animal Rescue Team is a fully cooperative board game for 1–4 players, with a playing time of about 60 minutes. Work together as expert specialists to rescue animals from dangerous disasters and evacuate them to shelters before time runs out.

When nature strikes, animals need immediate help. Your team may be called to free a cat trapped in a collapsed building, rescue a goat from a rushing river, or save a pair of dogs caught behind a fire line.

Every scenario puts your group against a different emergency, creating a race to bring animals to safety. The team must coordinate its efforts while facing the pressure of a limited window for action. If time runs out, a second team must arrive to save the day.

• Fully cooperative play: everyone works together toward the same rescue goal.
• Expert specialists: rely on a team of specialists as you respond to each emergency.
• Disaster rescues: face floods, fires, and earthquakes while helping animals escape danger.
• Time pressure: evacuate animals to shelters before the rescue effort runs out of time.

Animal Rescue Team focuses on teamwork, urgent decisions, and the shared challenge of protecting animals in crisis. Whether responding to a flood, fire, or earthquake, players take on the role of rescuers working toward a successful evacuation.

Released in 2025, Animal Rescue Team is the first title in the Shut Up & Sit Down Presents game line. Bring your team together, face the worst disasters nature has to offer, and see whether you have what it takes to save the animals.
