This is a TEST: CRC Edition Playthrough

[Music] hi my name is Lauren and I'm here today to talk with you about a training and exercise simulation tool for Community reception centers this is a test CRC Edition a fully Cooperative game that can be played with 3 to seven players the estimated time to play the game is approximately an hour and a half you can easily shorten or in the game depending on how much time you have in this exercise a radiation emergency has occurred and your task was setting up a CRC that will screen decontaminate and register the individuals that arrive this game piece is called a meeple it represents the people that will be coming to your CRC to operate a successful CRC staff will need to work together and be mindful of the continuously unfolding situation as more and more me people arrive you have a b Bas level of resources and staff but will likely need to request additional resources throughout your shift as in any emergency time and resources are limited so you will need to work efficiently to process individuals effectively and safely let's get started game objectives are to process all meele at your CRC by the end of the shift manage Hazard levels public anxiety and staff fatigue to ensure they don't hit game over you win when all rounds are over and all me have left the CRC you lose if any status on the status tracker hits game over each round is broken into phases those phases are marked on your player mat phases are arrival where you place new meele on the board processing where you will move meele through the stations based on resources available funds and resources where you'll gain 10 funds each round and any resources that you might have gained from player action injects where you will draw inject cards and make decisions on how to resolve them player action where players can choose to use their actions to get resources or help with lowering Hazard anxiety and fatigue on the status tracker by spending funds prepare where new me and funds are drawn based on the table in the rule book and any modifications from the inject cards or the status tracker the role of Incident Commander moves to the next player let's set up the game first place your game board in the middle of the table and your status tracker somewhere on the side next we'll place our starting resources on the board you have one portal monitor at contamination screening two showers at decontamination or Decon for short two handheld detectors at post Decon and three registration desks at registration Place one ambulance in the parking lot if playing with the hospital coordinator next we'll take our major and minor inject cards and place them on the board board in the area labeled Command Center next divy a player mats and player tents give The Incident Commander token to the emergency manager next we take our player pieces and play markers and set them on the status tracker and on round one on the game board pieces on the status tracker start in the rightmost yellow area place the staging area beside the board we use this to hold pieces before the start of each round draw eight meele from the bag and place them on the staging area if you don't have a bag you can use a cup or other holder count 10 funds represented by this piece and place them on the staging area too for future rounds check the rule book to see how many meeple and funds to draw place all remaining pieces beside the board we'll use them later now that we're set up let's play around we will use five players in this example they will be Emergency Management em Public Health pH radiation rad fire and police FP and public information officer Pio each player has special abilities to help at the CRC for the first round The Incident Commander is the emergency manager this token will get passed around throughout the game phase one arrival The Incident Commander takes the meele from the staging area and places them on the board in the parking area labeled arrival phase two processing we will select mle to move through our CRC the processing capacity of each station depends on how many of each resource we have and the mle points in the bottom right corner of each resource Maple points are a key Concept in the game they represent how much processing power it takes to respond to mle's needs if they are sick or require extra attention or assistance they will have more mle points let's look at an example of how you choose which meeple to process the registration resource can process two meeple points worth of meele per resource green meeple are worth one mle point yellow meeple are worth two meeple points we have three registration resources and can process two mle points each or six total we can process a combination of meeple for example we can process two yellow and two green meeple three yellow meeple or six green meeple okay now let's work on processing our eight mle that arrived the first station is contamination screening the portal monitor has a processing power of Five meeple Points we have six green meeple and two yellow meeple which total 10 meeple points since contamination screening can only process Five meeple Points we'll choose to process one yellow and three green all other meeples stay waiting in the parking area until next round you'll note that there are two paths which our meele can go clean and dirty to determine where they go we check whether or not the chosen mle are contaminated which is indicated by a black X on the bottom of their feet clean meele follow the clean arrows to waiting before registration contaminated meeple follow the dirty arrows to the contamination area we'll work through the rest of the stations now from top to bottom next we have the decontamination station and we currently have two showers with one meeple point of processing or two total me points Point since we have one yellow and one greenle waiting in the contaminated area we could choose either but not both to be most efficient with our processing power let's do the yellow mle it moves through Decon to the waiting area the post Decon station has two handheld detectors or four total mle points the yellow mle can be processed and moves to wait in line for registration now let's move to registration we have three meele waiting in line or four total meeple points and three resources which is six meeple points total of processing power all meeple are processed move to the shelter and off the board me who were unable to be processed wait in line until next round if there are any yellow meeple in your CRC at the end of the round you'll have to increase anxiety by two on the status tracker we notice there's a bottleneck at contamination screening and Decon we may want to prioritize getting resources for those stations during the player action phase phase five phase three funds and resources The Incident Commander takes the 10 funds from the staging area these are your current funds if there were resources here we would place them on the board phase four injects The Incident Commander draws one major and three minor inject cards and passes them out to the group to read allowed after all cards have been read players discuss which options they would like to take for each card as a group our four injects are Pet act contaminated and breastfeeding slip and fall and reallocation of resources injects always have a title narrative text and action text action text will mention plus or minus of value to one of the three meters on the status trackers paying or receiving funds or gaining or removing resources you can choose to resolve injects in any order as long as you resolve all of them we'll walk through our injects first we'll do the reallocation of resources because it's a card that helps us and has no choices to make it says neighboring CRC has less meele to process and send staff to assist with registration gain three registration desks we grab three registration resource cards and place them on the board at registration next inject is our major inject Pet act pets and their owners are showing up at your CRC and you need to determine where to put them choose one outside check-in slh holding pay three funds inside check-in slh holding pay five funds send away plus five anxiety we choose the inside check-in and pay five funds next inject slip and fall water has begun building up in the decontamination station and has caused a slip Hazard choose one decontamination resource to not use next round plus one Hazard and FP fire and police plus one fatigue on the status tracker note that plus means we move to the right towards game over last inject contaminated and breastfeeding aaple is contaminated and very concerned about what breastfeeding might do to their baby staff must offer counsel choose one radiation counsels minus one Hazard plus one anxiety and plus two fatigue to radiation on the status tracker Public Health councils Plus One Hazard and plus two fatigue to Public Health work together all staff both radiation and public health each gain one fatigue we choose to work together we move both public health and radiation fatigue plus one towards game over note that CRC hazard in our players fatigue is in the orange meaning we will have to draw extra meeple and inject next round if we don't use our player actions to bring those status levels down phase five player actions now we can discuss what player or job actions we can take to reduce items on the status tracker or improve our throughput remember that player actions happen after all injects have been resolved each player mat is broken into sections the top of the player mat says what each player specializes in like getting resources or managing the status tracker the middle section has the phases for each round the bottom has the job actions that the player can perform each action has a cost to use it in the top right when playing with five or more players each player can choose one action per turn for three to four players players can choose more than one action the emergency manager gets resources and reduces hazard radiation gets portal monitors for contamination screening and can rearrange detection equipment Public Health gets registration desks and reduces Hazard and anxiety fire and police red rce Hazard and fatigue and can get decontamination resources the Pio reduces anxiety and can reduce the number of me that will arrive in later rounds every player has a self-care action this costs nothing and helps players reduce their fatigue players can track limited actions indicated by a square on that action by placing a cube on top of it when all squares are covered players can no longer use that action looking at our meeple lines and Status tracker we might want to reduce our player fatigue especially those that are in the tracker's draw one extra inject area CRC Hazard is also in the orange and if we don't reduce it we'll have to draw an extra meeple we have lines at contamination screening and Decon so we might want more resources for those stations especially since we cannot use one shower next round after discussing and looking at possible player actions the group decides that radiation will move detection equipment to help with processing we can move handheld detectors to the contamination screening area we will leave one at post Decon we need more processing power at decontamination which could come from FP requesting a mobile DEC content if fire and police perform an action they cannot do self-care they have one of the highest levels of fatigue so we look to see what other players can assist them the Pio can perform psychological first aid at no cost twice per game they can reduce another player's fatigue by two the Pio performs this action reducing FP fatigue by two since FP is out of the orange they will gain a mobile deont tent and add it to the Decon area next the emergency manager will contact the Emergency Operations Center or EOC to request a resource we can choose one resource type to gain since we just received registration desks we request two handheld detectors for post Decon and place them on round three on the round tracker last since there are no funds left Public Health can only do a free action they choose to take a self-care action they reduce their fatigue by two on the status tracker it's important to take breaks when you can and not let actions go to waste we still have CRC Hazard and radiation fatigue in the orange draw one extra mle and inject areas this means we'll draw one extra inject in phase four next round phase six prepare to prepare for round two The Incident Commander draws 12 mles adding one extra due to our increased Hazard gathers 10 funds and places them in the staging area this information can be found on a table in the rule book we check to see if there are any yellow mle remaining in our CRC there are we increase anxiety by two this moves our anxiety into the draw one extra Maple area so we add another mle to our staging area the incident command commer then passes The Incident Commander token to the player on the right and moves the play marker to the next round on the round tracker rounds 2 through 4 repeat this process round five is shortened and will only be phase two processing this helps you get any remaining mle through your CRC after you have closed that's it now you're ready to open your CRC for more in-depth information refer to the rule book titled this is a rule book or to the facilitator guide titled this is a facil facilitator guide helpful reminders can be found in the back of the rule book Thank you and enjoy your test [Music]
