Bucket Brigade challenges players to race firemen toward the top of a burning building. Time is of the essence, but the fireman who runs too fast will spill most of his water before he reaches the roof. Under the guise of a simple race game, Bucket Brigade offers players the chance to out-think and out-bluff opponents, regardless of their age. It plays in 30 minutes or less. In Bucket Brigade, “players must cooperate even as they compete,” Vice President Lawrence Whalen Jr. of Face 2 Face Games told TDmonthly. Launch date: March 2007.
