Bomb Squad Academy

Players take the role of bomb-disposal trainees attempting a rigged final exam where three practice bombs will inevitably explode. Each bomb is represented by four wire decks with accompanying trigger tracks; on each round players simultaneously choose which wire to cut, pass, or call “Wait!” to block a cut. Chosen wires are resolved by flipping cards from the corresponding decks: card values advance the trigger and award points, with higher rewards for cutting a wire alone. Tools earned during play allow temporary rule exceptions. Causing a trigger to pass its limit penalizes the responsible player, and the game ends after three bombs with the highest-scoring player declared the top of the class.

    Fun little light game, but we already have many that fit this category.
