Firefighters on Duty

About this board game

Firefighters on Duty is a real-time, co-operative board game for 1–4 players that takes about 45 minutes to play. Players manage an entire fire department while responding to emergencies across the city.

Before the game begins, players choose a scenario and difficulty level. The challenge unfolds over up to six intense rounds, with each round lasting just two minutes. The short time limit keeps every decision urgent and puts the team under constant pressure.

During each round, players roll their action dice as quickly as possible. The symbols rolled determine which actions they can perform, requiring the team to coordinate its efforts and decide how best to use its available options.

• Dispatch vehicles and firefighters across the city.
• Extinguish fires before the situation worsens.
• Save civilians caught in danger.
• Safeguard properties while managing limited time.

Every choice carries weight because the clock is always ticking. Players must communicate, make decisions under pressure, and sometimes risk everything to keep the city safe. The real-time format makes teamwork essential, as the group works together to address multiple priorities within each two-minute round.

After the final round, the players add their points and negative points. The team wins if it has achieved the objective while keeping negative points to a minimum. With selectable scenarios and difficulty levels, Firefighters on Duty delivers a focused cooperative challenge built around speed, coordination, and emergency response.
