About the Game
Raccoons invade the library. A flash flood traps hikers. A passenger on Flight 402 has measles. Who handles what?
The ICS Roles Game is a cooperative card game about the Incident Command System (ICS). Players nominate an Incident Commander, who assigns the other roles: Liaison Officer, Public Information Officer, Safety Officer, Planning, Logistics, Operations, Finance/Admin, and Investigations. Players look through the Responsibility cards in their own Role decks before the timer starts.
Each turn, players flip a Task from the Incident deck. Without talking, they vote for the Role they think is responsible, then reveal their votes simultaneously. If one Role wins, that player searches their Role deck for a matching Responsibility. If they find it, the team moves on. If they don’t, or the vote ties, players discuss and vote again. The team wins by completing all Tasks before time runs out.
Players set the timer to 10-30 minutes depending on experience level. With multiple copies, groups can race each other instead.
