Bomb Busters^*

In Bomb Busters, you and your team play a squad of bomb-disposal experts. A bomb full of wires is ticking, and only together will you defuse it in time. A cooperative deduction game whose tension climbs across 66 missions.

What is it about?

Everyone sees their own wires on a rack, but not their teammates'. Through clues and careful reasoning you have to work out which wires match and cut them in the right order. A red wire means: BOOM.

How it plays

1. Set the numbered wires, values 1 to 12, face down on your racks.
2. Shuffle in the yellow and red danger wires.
3. On your turn, point to another player's wire and guess its value.
4. Guess right and the wire is cut. Guess wrong and the timer ticks on.
5. Defuse every wire without hitting a red one.

In the box

• 66 missions of steadily rising difficulty
• wire tiles with values 1 to 12
• gear for the trickier bombs

Conclusion

Bomb Busters pairs simple rules with genuine team tension and, thanks to its 66 missions, offers huge replay value. If you enjoy cooperative puzzlers, grab it. If you would rather play everyone for yourself, this one is not for you.
