Bomb Busters
炸弹克星
Defuse a bomb together. Everyone holds a hidden row of numbered wires, and you cut them in matching pairs by guessing your teammates’ wires.

The goal
Empty everyone’s tile stand and the mission succeeds. Cut a red wire, or let the detonator dial reach the skull, and the bomb goes off.
How it plays
- 1Shuffle the blue wires (four each of 1 to 12) with the yellow and red wires the mission lists, and deal them face down. Sort yours low to high on your stand, facing you, and place one info token showing the number of one of your blue wires.
- 2On your turn, usually you dual cut: point at a teammate’s wire and name a number you also hold, like “this is a 9”. If you’re right, both wires are cut and laid face up.
- 3If you’re wrong, the detonator dial moves one space and they mark that wire’s real number with an info token. If it was a red wire, the bomb explodes.
- 4Or solo cut: if all the remaining wires of a number are in your hand, cut them in pairs (2 or 4). If only red wires are left in your hand, reveal them.
- 5Yellow wires have no number. They all count as “yellow” and are cut the same way as blue.
How you win
Empty stands win. If it blows up, pass the captain role and replay the mission. Missions start at 1 and get harder; beat mission 8 to open the first surprise box.
First time?
- No talking about what’s in your hand, not even hints. You may only discuss general tactics and equipment.
- Stands are sorted, so revealed wires and info tokens narrow down everything between them.
- Once two wires of an equipment card’s number are cut, that card is ready. Don’t forget to use it.
