Pass the Bomb

PASS THE BOMB Fed up with all the repeats on the TV and the snow on the ground, we decided to buy a new game. I wanted something that wasn't going to take 2 hours to play, was funny and not that childish it would be too easy or boring. So we bought...PASS THE BOMB! THE BOX..... This 9"x 6" x 3" box is dark green in colour with Pass the Bomb in orange written across the whole of the box, just like the pic above. 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 ...  Read the complete review

I don't know about you lot, but it seems to me that every time we have family over for Christmas or New Year, after dinner we end up playing some sort of board game! This is ok to start with, but does tend to get rather dull after a while. On boxing day of the Christmas just gone, yes you've guessed it - we ended up playing a board game. A member of the family brought it 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. ...  Read the complete review

Pass the Bomb has recently become quite a talking point in some areas, with people asking what the game is like, people saying to their friends what it's like, so my mum thought we should have a look at it. As a general overview, it is a timed word game, where players have to construct words using a given group of letters and avoiding holding the bomb when it goes off. O.k. so firstly lets have a look at the product itself. It comes in a compact box, with pass the bomb written on it. Inside you have only the absolute necessities which are needed to play the game: - a die which indicates the position of the letters inside the word - a ...  Read the complete review

Pass the bomb is a brilliant family game for anyone with basic reading skills. It can be played by as few as two players up to as many as your ears and sanity can stand. Our children love it...even the grown up ones! The idea of the game is to accumulate as few cards as possible by guessing a word containing the letters in the order they are given on the cards. The roll of a dice (supplied) dictates a simple rule to follow for each set of letters and the person, or group, left holding the bomb when it goes off retains the card. The game ends when all the cards from one colour set (either black or white) are used. As the game goes on it tends to become louder and ...  Read the complete review
