Gibsons Pass the Bomb Junior

Product Information

However, the genius of the game is, as they say, in the cards. There are 110 of them. Printed on both sides. Each has two or a few letters on it. The game: start the bomb, turn the first card over, say a word that ends with (or starts, or contains) those letters. Then pass the bomb to the next player. Who must say a different word. Etc., etc., until the bomb goes off (through, conceivably, no fault of the player, since it’s random). NOTE: This Junior version is significantly different than the Regular version in that the Junior version does not have a randomizing die and it features picture cards rather than letter cards. This can also be a list of things you would do if a cop stood three feet away from you. In that case, you might need a lot of players. 8. Colors you wouldn’t wear at a funeral

The game is engaging and elegant. The losing player keeps the card, so the cards are used to keep score. The game is fast, so everyone stays involved. The challenge steadily increases as time passes and the obvious solutions get used up, so the tension increases. The unpredictable timer, and the brevity of the time allowed are just the right touches to keep the game fun. With an educational twist, cards also feature French and German language too making it the ideal learning tool for budding linguists.One of the nice things about Pass The Bomb is that it takes next to no time to set up. The game comes with 110 double sided letter cards which are printed in a combination of 2, 3 or 4 letters. A three sided dice, and of course the bomb that is shaped something like a grenade. No word can be used twice in any one round of play so you not only have to think of your own word but, try to remember the words everyone else has used.

If your family gets together often, or if you entertain friends on a regular basis, this game is a definite must have to add fun and excitement to those boring Tuesday night gatherings. This is great for young kids as it actually helps them to associate different things with various places while helping them to increase the vocabulary. Surprisingly the Crazy Bomb Junior game can be quite challenging for adults as well, so it makes it possible for you to play with your children and still have a great time and a lot of fun.
