The Suicide Bomber Card Game (2003)

About this game

Kaboom! It’s time to blow up your friends and neighbors in this irreverent card game. A quick-paced, darkly humorous game where the goal is to blow up the most bystanders and buildings, “Suicide Bomber” is full of explosive action. With 12 bomb tokens and 2 decks of characters and bombs, there’s plenty of mayhem and destruction to satisfy any occasion. The game features brilliantly comical art laying out the cast of innocent and not-so-innocent bombers and victims. The dark humor of the game is carried throughout the pictures and themes of the cards. With simple rules and complex strategy, gameplay is fast-paced.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 1.7/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
