In Urgence, you aim to complete three humanitarian missions in different countries before your opponents. The board features two circuits: an outer loop to collect mission necessities and an inner loop to complete the missions. Players roll dice to move their token in either direction, collecting needed elements or using Solidarity cards to help others. The game emphasizes cooperation and resource collection.
Who Is This Game For?
Urgence is suitable for families and casual players aged 7 and up who prefer simple rules and a moderate 60-minute game length. It requires no prior experience and offers an accessible introduction to board gaming for children and parents alike. The mechanics are straightforward and encourage social interaction.
How It Works
The game combines Roll / Spin and Move with Set Collection mechanics. You roll dice, move your piece on either the outer or inner track, and collect necessary elements for your missions. Landing on a required element space lets you take that element; otherwise, you can use Solidarity cards to assist other players who need that element. The goal is to complete three missions first.
