Are you ready to guide a cow and her calf out of a surging river? To coax a frightened cat from a building on the verge of collapse? With flames approaching and roadblocks in the way, can you reach a trapped dog and bring her to safety? When disasters strike, animals need us more than ever. As a team of specialists, you’ll face the worst that nature has to offer as you evacuate animals to the safety of shelters. Do you have what it takes to join the Animal Rescue Team? Designed by Matt Leacock (Pandemic, The Lord of the Rings: Fate of the Fellowship) and real-life animal rescuer, Lisa Towell. First game in the Shut Up & Sit Down Presents line. In Animal Rescue Team, players are specialists in the field of Animal Rescue. You work together to complete missions while dealing with the emergency of rescues that appear on a regular basis. Rescues place animals on the map and players must work together to bring vehicles and specialists to the rescue. Each Rescue card has a difficulty number to roll but can be mitigated by bringing the right specialists, equipment, and/or vehicles.
