You are a member of International Rescue averting disasters around the world using the titular Thunderbirds and their supporting pod vehicles. On your turn you’ll take three actions and any number of free actions which are called operations. Then you’ll draw a new disaster card and move the disasters you’re already dealing with one space closer to the skull and crossbones space which funnily enough makes you lose if a card ever moves onto it. Throw in some events from the main villain, The Hood, and you’ve got all the ingredients for a great co-op. Just to make you aware before you start reading this review, the photos show my copy of the game in which I’ve painted all of the miniatures. The base game comes with the miniatures in coloured plastic designed to represent the colours of the individual Thunderbirds. Now, on with the review… What’s It All About The world of 2065 is full of technologial marvels, but when things go wrong and lives are in danger, only the International Rescue team and their incredible Thunderbird machines can save the day. What about if you don’t like the original Thunderbirds series? Will you still like this game? If theme is very important to you and the idea of marionettes pottering around brings you out in hives, then I’d advise you to avoid this game. But if you can appreciate a great game despite having a theme you’re not that keen on, then you may well love this game. ConclusionIn the shadows, the mysterious Hood plots his next evil scheme… In the Thunderbirds Co-Operative Game, 1-4 players act together as International Rescue against The Hood, a mysterious villian plotting his next dastardly dead.

Set in the year 2065, Thunderbirds follows the exploits of International Rescue, a secret organization committed to saving human life, secretly founded and funded by the millionaire Tracy family, with the motto: ‘Never give in, at any cost!’ International Rescue has a host of technologically advanced land-, sea-, air-, and space-rescue vehicles and equipment ready to launch at a moment’s notice. I’m in space does anyone care?” sobs John. “So alone, all in space on my own on Thunderbird 5. So very lonely…” Thunderbird 4, piloted by Gordon Tracy – a utility submersible for underwater rescue, launched from Thunderbird 2 It’s a very tense game. There are so many demands on you and what seems like an impossibly few turns to complete all your tasks. It’s similar to Legends of Andor in that respect. It often comes down to a final dice roll too, which is always good for a co-op game. At this time delivery is only available to UK destinations: England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. We DO NOT ship internationally.The main feature of the show was the group's fleet of vehicles which we have come to know as The Thunderbirds: Modiphius Entertainment is a British media publisher specialising in developing media that inspires their audience. Okay, I’ll admit it. I love the Thunderbirds telly series. It was a huge part of my childhood. I was consistently entranced by the sequences where they get into the Thunderbirds and set off on a mission. The pool opening up for Thunderbird 1, the palm trees flopping over for Thunderbird 2, the fun never ends. I’m not put off by the marionettes either. Gerry Anderson’s team restricted themselves and worked around these limitations in a stunningly creatively fashion. So, before I go on for another 15,000 hours just bear in mind in the following review that I love, love, love Thunderbirds. What Do I Do On My Turn If you fail to prevent a scheme or you running out of time to prevent a disaster the game is lost, as international rescue cannot afford to fail. The Publisher
