About the game
The flames are rising in Inferno, the first expansion to Hotshots. Wildfires continue to burn across the land, putting both manmade structures and nature at risk. Your team of Hotshots has recruited new members, with new skills, and you’ll need them to contain the fire. There are reports of Civilians among the flames that need evacuating. If you can reach them in time, you can save them. New rewards are waiting for you as well as 2 new vehicles to help battle the blaze. Can you put out all the flames before too much is lost? —description from the publisher

Questions and answers
Hotshots: Inferno supports 1–6 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. 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 Hotshots: Inferno is 60 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Hotshots: Inferno 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.
Hotshots: Inferno belongs to these categories: Dice, Expansion for Base-game, and Environmental. Its main mechanics are Variable Player Powers, Push Your Luck, and Dice Rolling. Categories describe the theme and setting of a game, while mechanics describe what players actually do on their turns. Each mechanic links to a catalogue hub with similar games, which helps when you want something comparable.
The credited designers of Hotshots: Inferno are: Justin De Witt. These credits come from the published game data and name the people responsible for the game’s design, not its illustrators or publishers.

The catalogue lists Hotshots: Inferno as an expansion for Hotshots. Expansions add new content, rules or scenarios to the base game and usually cannot be played on their own, so you need Hotshots to use it. Check that your edition of Hotshots is compatible, as some expansions were revised between editions.
