A semi-cooperative game by Nathan Mehlhorn

Overview

In Crisis Council a disaster has struck a major city. The Mayor of the city has put together a council of 3-4 players that are hopefully capable of handling the various emergencies. Civil Unrest is on the rise, the threat continues to worsen, and you need to figure things out quickly before it’s too late! The only problem is that everyone on the council has a secondary agenda, to turn a tidy profit once things settle down. Can you overcome your greed and save the city?

The full version of the game contains:

• 45 Six-Sided Dice
• 22 Emergency Policy Cards
  • 1x - Unexpected Setback, Emergency Funding, Policy Revisions, Options, Redistribution, Reassignment, and Proxy
  • 2x - Outside Aid, Emergency Vote, and A Moment of Peace
  • 3x - Emergency Tax, For The People, and Blank cards for replacements or create your own.
• 10 Council Member Role Cards
  • 3x - Standard
  • 1x - Philanthropist, Angel Investor, Traitor, Banker, and Contractor
  • 2x - Blank cards for replacements or create your own
• 8 Mayor Role Cards
  • 1x - Basic, Level, Stockpile, High Tax Rate, Investor, and Prepared
  • 2x - Blank cards for replacements or create your own
• 1 Table Aid Board

This storefront will sell the digital version of the game for print-and-play purposes but a physical version of the final product should also be made available at a later date. Please stay tuned for more information.

What's in the Box

Currently you are provided with the full 7 page rulebook for both BASIC and ADVANCED play. You'll also be given the following:

• 3 Standard Player Roles and 5 Advanced Player Roles (Color & BW)
• 1 Basic Mayor Role and 5 Advanced Mayor Roles (Color & BW)
• 1 Table Aid Board (Color & BW)

The above comes in PNP formats but also include Tabletop Simulator files so you can import them right into that. Since the game requires so many dice to play, I figured this would be much more convenient for people.

What You'll Need

For the BASIC version, you will need 35 six-sided dice and some friends. Do not worry if all the dice are the same size or color, this will not impact gameplay (though it is suggested you play with 35 identical dice when able). If you are playing the ADVANCED version of the game, you will need closer to 40 dice as some roles and cards allow you to have more dice in your pool. Optionally, a copy of Tabletop Simulator for all players will also work as you can import the assets provided into that quite easily.

What's the Cost?

As of 2023 all of my paid games moved to a PWYW model for the base experience. This used to cost about a dollar, so that is the suggested price but you can download the game completely FREE! Any content adjustments to the base experience will also remain free forever. Please note that any expansions outside of the base experience will have a cost should I choose to develop the game further. I hope you have a ton of fun with Crisis Council!

Thank You & Feedback Request

Thank you so much for checking out Crisis Council, I hope you enjoy it! Be sure to rate and share. If you have any feedback on the game, I gladly welcome it, though I ask you keep it as constructive as possible. Saying, "Great game!" or, "I really hated it!" doesn't tell me much about what I did well or not.

I created this game while under lockdown during the Covid-19 outbreak in order to stay active and to provide entertainment for friends & family, as well as all of you of course! As a result, there may be some rough edges in the both versions of the game but I will still support any changes should they become necessary (spelling/grammar/clarifications/etc..).
