Road to Disaster Card Game (Pre-Order) + Added Donation
£20.00
As part of an International Response Team (IRT), you must reach an earthquake site to search for survivors. On route, passers-by will ask for help. Roads will be damaged, checkpoints a challenge, and the medical questions you know the answers to might start being stolen. Are you sure you’re ready?
Available for pre-order. Anticipated release: December 2024.
Please note the final box design and some other cards may look slightly different to what is displayed here as final improvements are made to the product before its release.
Important: Please pay using Google Pay/Apple Pay if you can to avoid payment providers taking a cut of the donation price.
Available on back-order
Description
A trauma and USAR game card pack designed for paramedics and anyone interested in search and rescue and medicine in remote environments.
As part of an International Response Team (IRT), you must reach an earthquake site to search for survivors. On route, passers-by will ask for help. Roads will be damaged, checkpoints a challenge, and the medical questions you know the answers to might start being stolen. Are you sure you’re ready?
2-4 players. Solo or team mode, and 3 ways to play. Age 14+. Made by IRT team members. Proceeds from your purchase will support a real IRT – Serve On.
PRE ORDER NOW – Anticipated release is December, 2024*.
If you are able to, please pay using Google or Apple pay. This prevents a fee being deducted from the sale and going to payment providers instead of Serve On or Article 999.
*Article 999 cannot guarantee delivery in time for Christmas, but we will try very hard to do so.
This purchase is the same game, with an added donation of an extra £5 to Serve On.
Not convinced? Here’s a bit more about the game:
- Multiple ways to play – choose your level.
- Realistic action cards
- Basic instructions within the card pack and colourful start cards. Further instructions are available via a QR, which means there are endless possibilities for future development in game play, including ways to combine this pack with extensions and new games when these are released.
- A background story, and colourful question cards in different categories
- We also quite like the box design, featuring Serve On’s logo, the game title, and Article 999’s slogan on the side – and we hope you do too.
Why add an extra donation?
For Article 999 to purchase these cards, before selling them on, it costs £5.91 per pack – and this is when they are bought in bulk. We then add a small donation to Serve On per pack, plus postage. If you pay using your credit or debit card, instead of Google/Apple pay, payment providers take a cut of £0.99 as well. This is clearly a not-for-profit venture. The research behind each question in the packs has come from over a year and a half of trauma-specific CPD related to my (Louise’s) professional development and further posts on this website. The research, failed costly experiments, and additional time to redesign that CPD into a playable game has taken several months and around a hundred pounds. If you purchase this pack at full price (£20+p&p), a total of £11 per pack will go to Serve On, and a total of £3 per pack will come back to Article 999. Your money will be valued in many ways:
- You will help cover some of the costs of developing this project, paving the way towards future games and unique products.
- You will help support Article 999 as a CPD site and a site for improving health literacy in the public.
- You will help to cover the costs of International Response Team volunteers in their training, equipment, and deployment needs.
- You will help to support the other vital work of Serve On as a UK flood response team and international disaster response charity that is reliant on donations to function and can only function well with support.
At sale price, less money will go to Serve On and Article 999, but this is still more than the non-donation purchase available from the main product page.
Unfortunately, returns are not accepted as this is a small-team venture for a product that has been created by one person – apologies, but we do not have the resources to support returns.
Thank you – and we hope you enjoy the game and learn or thing or do along the way!
