FUSE Countdown

A cooperative, real-time bomb-defusal game that introduces new obstacles and tools to the original system. Players work together to place colored dice on fuse cards under a time pressure, now with multi-colored dice that can satisfy more than one color and new bomb configurations that change placement requirements. When dice cannot be placed, Spark cards introduce mini-tasks that must be resolved before the group can win, adding ongoing objectives to manage. Each player takes a Role with a unique power, and new fuse and bomb cards expand puzzle variety and difficulty. The game plays quickly and can be used standalone or combined with the earlier set.
