Simple, but a heck of a lot of fun! December 16, 2007

In this game a pool of thirteen cards is exposed one card at a time (with each card showing a short sequence of letters), then the special die is rolled stating where in a word it can and cannot appear, then the timer on the bomb is started. You must then think of a word that (a) contains the letter sequence on the card with no interruptions by other letters (e.g. if the card had the letters 'SAC' then words like 'ransack' or 'sacking' would be acceptable, but not 'stack' because the T interrupts the 'SAC'), (b) obeys the instructions of the die as to where the letters can appear in your chosen word, and (c) doesn't duplicate any words that have already been said in that round - once you have you can then pass the bomb onto the next player. Gameplay continues like this until the bomb plays an explosion sound; the person holding the bomb when this happens takes the card and keeps it beside him/her. Once all thirteen cards have been played the person with the fewest cards is the winner.
This is one of those games that's so simple to learn and play but is a lot of fun - and you really have no idea when that bomb will explode (sometimes it does so within ten seconds of activation, sometimes it lasts much longer!). Also, because it's not based on any particular fad, it's timeless.
Definitely recommended, although the 15 asking price is a bit steep.

A family member bought this along to our Christmas celebrations last year, and it proved such a huge success that I bought my own copy this year. It's brilliance is in its simplicity. A must for all families.I would point out that it takes 2 standard "AAA" batteries.

I have to agree with the reviews written so far, apart from the fact that the batteries I had in the game, when it was given to me, lasted for many hours.Fun game, which is compact and easy to carry and play anywhere. Everyone I've ever introduced to it has liked it and asked to play it again.

A brilliant game for all the family. Any one can win it is a game of potluck, which comes along with histerical laughter, as you make up words as you go and then try to tell people what they mean!!! In my experience and not being at my best with language, ebven the most intelligent person can lose which is alwaYS A BONUS.

Great game, pity that the batteries run out after only an hour or two of play. It runs on watch batteries which makes it a very expensive game as you have to replace the batteries almost every time you play it.
