Pass the Bomb the Card game is a travel game version of the classic word game. It has a similar gameplay to the classic version, but with two different sets of cards. One set has categories, and the others has letters. You turn both over and frantically come up with words that match the criteria. We’re Gibsons, the family-owned jigsaw puzzle and board game company. Founded in London in 1919, we’ve been entertaining generations for over 100 years and our passion is creating the best quality products for all ages.For example, “types of dogs” that begin with the letter “B.” With only 10 seconds to think of an answer, this is frantic-fun at its finest! Once the player has stated a word, they pass the bomb to the left to the next player. The timer on the bomb is variable and will ‘explode’ somewhere over ten seconds but less than 60 seconds. The player holding the bomb when it explodes has to keep the card for that round, and the player with the fewest cards at the end of the 13th round wins the game. The Cards, Each card shows a familiar scene which is described on the card in English, French, and German. Any word in common use is allowed, including proper names, brand names, colloquial words, and also foreign words in general use; For example, "BLITZKRIEG". Before playing with younger children is a good idea to go through the cards together, so that everybody becomes familiar with the pictures.
