The radio in your patrol car crackles: “We have a 10-31D taking place in an abandoned house just off 3rd and Main. Can any units respond?”

You’re the closest unit to the scene, unfortunately, you’re alone as your partner has called in sick today and the rest of your team are dealing with a situation on the other side of town.

You were just about to go and join them. However, it’s up to you alone to assist. You’re sure your new SWAT training will see you through. You radio back – “10-17 dispatch, SWAT Officer 55G responding.”

The radio crackles: “10-4 Officer 55G. Be advised shots have reportedly been fired and witnesses say there appears to be three suspects who could all be armed and very dangerous. Further reports indicate that two civilians may have been taken hostage.”

Looks like your quiet evening on patrol has just been shattered! Better pick up your weapon, rescue the hostages and take down the criminals!

Game Mechanics

Grid Movement

Work your way around the gang’s den, stealthly searching rooms and finding criminals and hostages. Movement is orthogonal acorss all room tiles.

Re-programmable tactics

Call upon your training! As you move around the gang’s den, you use tactics cards that, when revealed each round, you can change the order you play the cards to evolve your strategy.

Hand Management

Take down the criminals! You need to manage yor hand of cards to ensure that you have built up your ballistics skill. Face off against 3 different rated criminals!

Remember your path

This theme rich game pushes you to the front of the action. As you PEEK around corners (look at a facedown card, but then replace it facedown), you have to remember what you saw, only fully revealing the room you enter on a CHECK or SHOOT action. Hopefully you remebered what was where!
