Emergency Broadcast turns players into first responders trying to deal with a dangerous flood. Each player has their own rescue objectives, playing tiles to secure the resources they will need. But each round the flood waters rise, washing away resources and making it harder to complete objectives. Players must decide whether to complete objectives quickly, or take a risk and wait to score more points later.

The game comes with 1 game board, 97 tiles, 4 tile trays, 65 objective cards, 1 scoreboard, 1 dry erase marker, 1 First Responder meeple, and 1 First Player token. Emergency Broadcast can be played by 2 to 4 players, and is intended for ages 13 and up. Games take about half an hour to play.
