The hotly anticipated Thunderbirds board game has finally arrived from Modiphius Entertainment.

From Modiphius:

Calling International Rescue!

Fireflash, the hypersonic airliner, has a bomb in the landing gear! The runaway Crablogger is out of control!

The world of 2065 is full of technological marvels, but when things go wrong and life is in danger, only the International Rescue team and their incredible Thunderbird machines can save the day. While in the shadows, their nemesis, the mysterious Hood plots his next evil scheme.

In the Thunderbirds Co-operative Board Game, 1-4 players act together as the International Rescue team against the Hood, represented by the game’s mechanics. To win the game you take command of the iconic Thunderbird machines and play together to avert deadly disasters in the nick of time and thwart The Hood’s plans for world domination.

The exciting gameplay takes place in Gerry Anderson’s amazing Thunderbirds universe and features events from classic episodes of the TV show, as well as new approved content. The game contains models of six Thunderbird machines, as well as individual character models of the Tracy brothers, Lady Penelope and The Hood.
