Damage Report Board Game

Damage Report is a modular, 2-6 player, simultaneous, real-time, co-operative game where the players take on the role of a starship crew faced with making split-second decisions to survive while in the midst of various crisis and catastrophes. Unlike many co-operative games, the simultaneous, real-time nature of the game helps prevent 'groupthink'. This forces players to make decisions with minimal feedback and prevents one player from simply running the show. You never have to wait for other players to take their turn, and your turn is only limited to what you can accomplish in 15-, 30-, 45- or 60-second intervals. Each player uses a timer to keep track of their time, moving the timer down a track based upon how long their turn interval is. In most scenarios, the turn interval is based upon the Life Support system status: the more damaged the system is, the less air the player has to "breathe." Each action is extended, as it takes more time to complete their turns. Scenarios are designed to last no more than 45 minutes. If players do not succeed in this time... something bad happens. Damage Report's modular board pieces ensure a brand new experience with each game scenario. Each scenario has its own success and failure conditions. The Standard Edition of the game includes five scenarios. For future expansions, we are working on creating campaign scenarios that follow a specific ship along its path, with the scenarios played being influenced by each outcome of success or failure.
