Bomb Busters is a recent Spiel des Jahres winner where players are a team of bomb disposal specialists.
Bomb Busters players, who aspire to become bomb disposal experts, must work together to defuse a bomb before it explodes! To complete their mission successfully, they must cut pairs of identical wires: one half is always in their own hand, and the other half is found in a teammate's hidden wire. Each numbered thread from 1 to 12 is found exactly four times in the game, and each team member's threads must be arranged in ascending order. Both pieces of information are important as players work out how to break two threads of the same number, and each success gets them one step closer to defusing the bomb. Each time they cut a wire of a different value, players take the risk of an explosion. If players ever break a red wire, an immediate explosion occurs and the game ends. Yellow cables with decimal numbers add extra challenges to the game, and equipment cards help with particularly tricky tasks.
Bomb Busters is a cooperative deduction game with 66 increasingly dangerous and challenging missions. The game material is found inside five surprise boxes, with additional rules and materials bringing new surprises for the player team to overcome!
The lines are only figuratively broken, meaning that game components are not destroyed during play, making the game replayable over and over again at any level.
