About the game
There’s a strange smell in the air, smoke is drifting out of the vent down the corridor…oh no, the ship is on fire! As you reach for a fire extinguisher and a few crystals to fuel it, ZAP! A crazed robot hits you with its stun baton and you fall to the floor. How did things get so out of control on the ship?! Damage Report: On Fire introduces two brand new tools – the stun baton and the fire extinguisher. Additionally, there is a new fire game mechanic that spreads deadly flames around the ship. Can you survive with these new challenges while still keeping your ship’s systems online?

Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Damage Report: On Fire is 45 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Damage Report: On Fire for ages 10 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
