Boom (2012)

About this game

Congratulations! You've just found a suitcase full of money on your doorstep! Wait – why would someone leave you a bunch of money? Hmm, what's this note inside the case? "Welcome to the bomb game. The rules are simple. Use the materials inside this case to kill the other nine people in the enclosed photo. Only then do you get to keep this money." You dig deeper into the case and find a bunch of electronics and a photo that depicts ten people – including you. You don't know the other people in the photo, but you know they're now gunning for you... In Boom, you need to wipe out the other players, while keeping your distance from them so that they don't find out where you are and retaliate!

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 10.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
