...dark green in colour with Pass the Bomb in orange written across the whole of the box. The 'O' of Bomb is a picture of the 'bomb' and gives you an idea of whats to come! It is made by Gibsons Games and the game won the Daily Telegraph Game of the Year Awards, (although it doesn't state which year!) On the side of the box it states " Players live on a knife edge as the infernal Bomb ticks away. Nerves are tested to the limit as they struggle to find ... ...said an acceptable word you pass the bomb to the next player, once they have said a word they pass it on the next and so on until the bomb explodes.
Remember that I said the preset timer goes off somewhere between 10 - 60 seconds? Well thats how long each round is going to last. You might not get the chance to say your word or you might not be able to think of another word and believe me its not as easy as it sounds.
It goes something like this ...

Advantages: Great fun Disadvantages: Too stressful
...FIND A SUITABLE WORD AND PASS THE B….Y THING BEFORE IT GOES OFF"
No, it's a board game, it so cannot be that scary…or can it?
THE BOMB BOX
This comes in a hard box with the PASS THE BOMB logo, with the bomb charmingly shown in the "O" of the writing and a warning that it is "The Explosive Game That Will Blow Your Mind). Recommended for age 12 years up and for any number of players

A bomb. I was expecting this since it's called Pass The ... ...films are anything to go by…black, tennis ball size, with a fuse for extra authenticity. The button to start that terrifying random timer is red so you can't miss it and is at the bottom of the bomb
Letter cards-110 of them with combinations of 2, 3 and 4 letters
The die has 3 faces; on one face is TICK…TACK which means that you can use the letters anywhere in the word, TICK… meaning letters cannot be used at the beginning of the word, picture ...

Advantages: great fun for all the family Disadvantages: a little expensive
...for any discerning gamer.
Pass the Bomb is a game of words. Each game consists of thirteen rounds and the idea is to come up with words that fit a given criteria whilst playing pass-the-parcel with a bomb. Confused? Never - it's too easy for that.

... ...centre of the group. A card is drawn from those 13 and over the course of the round the idea is to come up with a word that contains the letters written on that card in sequence. To make it slightly harder the dice is rolled and this determines where the letters on the card may not be used within a word (at the beginning, at the end or no restriction).
The person to start then sets of the bomb (by pressing a button on its base) and says the first ...

Advantages: Exciting, fast paced, random, suitable for all. Disadvantages: Bit of luck involved, can be frustrating,
...Christmas as we like to pass the festive season doing things as a family and having light hearted fun. It's always nice to try new games and adds to the fun as no-one knows what is going on. Saying that however, pass the bomb was very easy to pick up as it is so simple. The game consists of a plastic bomb, complete with ticking sounds (very tension building), a set of cards with 3 letters printed on them, and a dice (or is it die?!) Basically, you ... ...have made a word, you pass the bomb onto the next person, who has to use the same letters to make another word, which hasn't already been used. It's harder than you think, especially as you can here the bomb ticking away. I'm not sure if variations of a word are allowed (I can't remember), but it will state this in the rules, which, as I remember are easy to follow. I understood them after hearing them being read out rather than reading them. It's ...

Advantages: great game, really gets you thinking Disadvantages: you can be made to look v.stupid!
...round and it was called Pass the Bomb! Sounds ominous I know (don't worry its not a real bomb!). Well, it was great fun and very different to the usual type of games which go on for hours and people lose interest.
The game starts by drawing a card from the pack which is shown to all players. Each card has letters on it and can be two or more letters. A dice is then rolled which tells all players whether the letters shown by the card must be at the ... ...if you can! I though pass the bomb was a really good game, because it can reduce people with the longest of vocabularies into mumbling wrecks! Pass the bomb can be played with any number of people, so long as there is more than two and is suggested for players aged twelve and above. The game retails at around £25.00, which I think is good value. You don't require a table or board to play, so in theory you could play wherever you wanted. It's a great ...
