Flatline

A real-time co-op dice rush in a sci-fi ER: one minute per round to combine dice and save your patients.

Flatline is a cooperative dice game from the Fuse universe, and it takes place in the ER. Patients are arriving, crew members are wounded, other emergencies are blinking red, and you have exactly one minute per round to deal with it all. Roll your dice, then find ways to combine them with the dice of other players to properly treat each case. The timer runs in real time, so the table gets loud fast. It plays from solo to five, in around forty-five minutes, and the box comes with four promo cards for Fuse. Expect chaos with a purpose, plus a shared sense of panic.

Who it's for

You enjoy real-time co-op games with a lot of shouting, especially if you already know Fuse and want a medical twist.

Not for you if…

You dislike time pressure or want a quiet evening. The timer makes every round frantic.

Vibe's take

Loud, frantic and cooperative. The clock never forgives, and half the fun is shouting numbers across the table.
