Pass The Bomb

...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 ...

Review of Pass The Bomb

...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 INSIDE… 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 ...

Review of Pass The Bomb

...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. ~~~~~~~~~~ Playing pieces ~~~~~~~~~~ A game set consists of: lots of cards on which between 2 and 4 letters are written a dice a bomb (see I said it was simple) ~~~~~~~~~ How to Play ~~~~~~~~~ ...
...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 ...

Review of Pass The Bomb

...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 ...

Review of Pass The Bomb

...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 ...

Review of Pass The Bomb

Pass The Bomb is an excellent little game - not least because at last something has replaced charades in our household!!! Voted The Daily Telegraph's top boardgame in recent years(if thats saying something good) Pass The Bomb is based around an extremely simple concept, which means that everyone can play. The idea is this: You get a timer(the bomb), a dice with 'tick', 'tock' or 'tick, tock' printed on its faces and a set of cards with a group ...
...pile of these cards in the middle of the table. One player roles the dice to determine whether the letters on the card, which is drawn from the pile to start the game, should occur at the beginning, the end, or anywhere in the word you are about to blurt out. The timer s started. Each player then calls out a unique word based upon these criteria as both the bomb and the card is passed around, until the bonb goes off. The person holding the card last ...

Review of Pass The Bomb

...to like those people. Pass The Bomb - The Explosive Game That Will Blow Your Mind... No, No it won't. No really, it won't. The premise is incredibly simple. Start the timer (Conveniently shaped like a bomb; see what they did there!) and draw a card with a selection of letters on that must be contained, in that order, within the word you put forward. When the "Bomb Goes Off" the person left holding it is out. Also forbidden is repetition and making ...
...Which apparently is a bad thing... So, the length of the game depends on 3 things. When will the timer go off? Can you actually remember the words you used to pick up on repetition and vocabulary knowledge (Although this is by far the least of the worries since the cards all have common word segments in them) We played this with a group of about 10 of us, and it was virtually impossible. Repetitions were missed, I threw at least 5 words I knew ...

Review of Pass The Bomb

Pass the Bomb - a game that's easy to pick up, takes no time at all to explain, and can be played even by slow-witted relatives after you've grown sick of telling them for the billionth time that they can't build a house on Mayfair until they've bought Park Lane as well. In short, a snappy and light-hearted game perfect to liven things up after a particulary cerebral Scrabble or Risk session. Basically, it goes like this: you have a plastic bomb ...
...like a souped-up version of Pass the Parcel, with a bomb instead of a parcel. Literally anyone can play it (well, not quite literally - dyslexics and the clinically insane being obvious exceptions), but I would say the ages of 10 to 90 would be the ideal market (above this age brittle bones are in danger of being shattered by an overly enthusiastic toss of the bomb by their neighbour.) I have one more gripe, and that is that my bomb's inner workings ...

Review of Pass The Bomb

...not insulted by having to pass around a plastic ball. This is game which misses all markets - it is far too simple and irritating for anyone over 16. For all 16 year olds and under, it is far too much like a "school exercise." Sorry, but there are far better games out there for large groups. ...

Review of Pass The Bomb

...with those letters in it Pass the bomb to the next player and so on and so on until the bomb goes of. Whoever is holding the bomb when it goes of loses and they keep hold of that card. The winner is the person with the least number of cards. This game actually began to do my head in because as soon as I had the bomb in my hand my mind just went totally blank. Although I thoroughly enjoyed playing this game I got sick of being beat! I would definately ...
