The rules are a little complex for people who have only played games like Sorry and Uno, but not impossible as long as someone who is on top of things to coach them. I really like how it's a co-op game and you're all working together, too--everyone I've ever shown this game to has loved it! Five stars from me!
What I love of this game is that it is a cooperative game. Everybody wins or everybody dies.
There are quite a bit of rules but if you take it one step at a time it isn't hard and many people pick it up quickly. If you can read and follow rules then you can play. There is a set of easier family set of rules and game play that is easier for beginners and there are advanced rules that add more dynamics to the game. The advanced game play adds characters with special jobs that help or hinder you. The advanced game play also adds hazardous material that could explode and it also adds the use of the firetruck. Flashpoint has very high replay value. Every game is different.
My family has mostly played the Family set of rules because we seem to introduce this to many different people and so those are easier to start out with. One family that was introduced want to play it again because they think of new strategies to play.
There are two sides to the board so there are two house layouts. One side is way harder than the other side because there are less doors that lead to outside. This game really makes you think about your own house layout and if it is safe and what should we do in case of a fire.
It really gives you a sense of accomplishment when you get to save one of the victims in the house. It can make someone tense and even sad if we lose one of the victims. We really get into the game. It makes us think that we should be grateful that we aren't really in this situation for real and also makes us have deeper respect for real firefighters.
The game pieces are nice; the art is amazing. But there wasn't any way to keep them neat after you pop them out of the cardboard they came in. So we have been putting them back into the cardboard holder that they came in. It is a puzzle game after the game to fit them in the correct spot. So that is fine but I don't know what we are going to do when they get too loose to be securely held in place.
We always have good fun playing this with varying age groups. My family laughs at me every time because I'm now known as the one that wants to break down the walls. We actually died at least once because I chopped down a wall and the house collapsed on us. Not in that order; there were just too many explosions.
Funny tidbit: One time I went to save one of the victims and I turn over the piece to see if it was a victim or not and I wondered, "Why are we saving the coffee pot?" The picture was upside down and it was actually the dog.
ONE WORD OF ADVICE FOR GAMING EXPERTS: If you play board games regularly and consider yourself a board gaming pro then I'd recommend skipping family rules. They won't challenge you. I'd recommend you skip straight to veteran difficulty.
Original Week 1 review:
I just got this two days ago, so this game still has that honeymoon period going for it, I'll try and come back after a month and update this review to see if my opinion has changed any.
Sometimes you want to sit down with the people you care about and play a game with them. I purchased this game to do something with my niece other then play video games or watch movies with her. I choose this game because I've never played a coop board game before and I know my niece would get a thrill out of working with the adults to win the game.
At first the rules seem a little complicated but after a game or two they become extremely easy to follow. That is to say, at least family rules are easy to follow. We haven't graduated to the experienced rule set but given how much we keep playing this game I suspect we will be moving to the experienced rule set very soon. Needless to say my niece, her dad, and I enjoy this game very much so far. Each play through is about 45 minutes total, you're mileage may very given there is a slight random element to this game between the fires and the point of interest.
So far at the end of every game my niece asks if we can play it again, which means at the moment we've found something more fun then video games for her. All in all, I do not regret this purchase and I can't wait until my niece gets done with school today so she, her dad, and I can play another round of this game.
Side note: I forgot to mention, the game recommends ages 10 and up, but if you focus on the family rule set you might be able to get away with 8 and up. At least my niece is 8 and she seems to be able to follow the game just fine. It depends on your kid, of course.
