Bucket of Doom (2014)

About this game

The death-dodging party game. When the shit hits the fan you need a plan. Escape from seriously bad situations with the help of seriously useless objects. Ever wondered what you’d do if you woke up buried alive in an airtight coffin? Or you discover you had an alien parasite in your stomach? Well, we have. And we’ve made it into a delightfully dark party game. Bucket of Doom is a card based game in a hot pink toxic bucket. Players take it in turns to share their daring escape from impending doom using one of their personal object cards to escape. Players vote for their favourite story, best plan wins.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 4 to 20.
• 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 18 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
