I'm a huge fan of cooperative board games and I've been wanting to play Flash Point for ages. I finally picked it up at Awesome Adventure Academy. I am not disappointed. The theme is quite immersive, and the tension (the best part of a cooperative game) is great. For some reason I almost always end up crushed in the building with it falls, I'm glad that is not the win condition. This game instantly won my kids over, so it has hit the table a lot lately. My oldest will even beg me to play when it is just the two of us. She is not as much of a fan of the advanced rules though, which helps because this game is best with three or more players. Having fewer players makes it hard to be all the places you need to be when the fire starts spreading.
Likes: Immersive theme, simple mechanics, great tension, ability to gradually implement advanced rules.
Dislikes: Some of the advanced rules are seem to over-complicate the game.
Fun: Very fun with a great theme and good tension.
Quality: The components are great, cute firefighter miniatures, The board needed some coaxing to sit flat.
(re)Playability: Lots of replay value with incrementally adding advanced rules and ramping up the difficulty level. It is one of those games that you can't play just once in a sitting.
