Description
Forest Fire! was inspired by a little boy who loves fighting fires. The game is set in a densely wooded yet populated area where forest fires often occur. Players work together to put them out and save houses and schools.
Players use several fire fighting approaches – bulldozers, water, helicopters and chemical extinguishers.
As the game progresses, environmental factors like wind and drought change, affecting the frequency, intensity, and spreading speed of fires.
Minimum age is listed as 12 (the only choice) but I built this game for and play it with my 5 year old grandson.
Game includes:
- 1 board: a 20x20 grid of hexagons (referred to as ‘acres’)
- 20 wood houses
- 2 schools
- 52 river tokens
- 40 fire pieces (red crystals)
- 70 burnt acre pieces (black disks)
- 30 rock pieces (white crystals)

Notes
- This game contains laser cut components. Laser cut items will have a slight amount of soot around the edges, which can easily be wiped off; and will have a campfire smell for about a week after you open them.
