After 5 minutes, if 30 wires have been deposited back into the bomb, you have saved the City from the attack.
Here, you and your friends have to scavenge the city looking for wires to deactivate the bomb located in the Church. The tower blocks, cubes, and tiles are all really great quality and seem like they will hold up through the onslaught of the rigorous game play.Welcome to BombSquad! The point of BombSquad is to collect enough wires within 5 minutes, and return them to the bomb before it explodes. I love the knights on the catapults that look like they are actually throwing the Ammunition cubes. It has the light and playful feel you would expect for a game aimed at younger audiences. There is no down time for players as no matter who’s turn it is you are always involved as either the Master Builder or Saboteur.Īlthough there is not much artwork in Kaboom, what is there is fantastic. It sets up in minutes and only lasts about 20-30 minutes depending on how many rounds are played. This game is so simple to learn, teach and play that kids can grab this one off the shelf and play by themselves. Well Kaboom is another great dexterity game that is both entertaining and engaging. In fact most of the games that I have received have been either speed style games or dexterity games like Top That and Dr. They are entertaining and engaging without being more of the same old thing-roll and move. But wait! There is one other way to win and that is if the Master Builder constructs the Mega Tower successfully which also ends the game and that player wins.Īs a father of four young boys I love Blue Orange’s line of games for younger kids. The game ends after a certain number of pre-determined rounds at which time players will count up the points on their Tower tiles. The role of Master Builder now passes clockwise to the next player. If any towers are still standing the Master builder may take the accompanying Tower tile beneath it to score at the end of the game. Once the timer has run out the Master Builder must quit building and the Saboteurs must quit firing. The Master Builder may rebuild any towers she wishes as long as an Ammunition cube is not on that tile as noted above. Note there is a variant that specifies if an Ammunition cube lands on a Tower tile that is not built on or partially built on the Master Builder may not build on that tile. The caveat being that they only have the two cubes to fire, so they must use them wisely. While the Master Builder attempts to build the towers the other players, or Saboteurs, can use their catapults and Ammunition cubes to try and knock down the Master Builder’s towers. When ready the Master Builder will turn over the sand timer and begin to build on any Tower tile she wishes building the matching structure as the tile shows. The other players will prepare their catapults and Ammunition cubes. The youngest player takes on the role of Master Builder first and will take all of the building blocks and the sand timer and place them in front of her. All the building blocks are placed near the playing area along with the sand timer. Players then each take a catapult of their choice along with two Wooden Ammunition cubes. They will then take the remaining Small Tower tiles and arrange them randomly around the Mega Tower. To set up Kaboom players will take the Mega Tower tile and place it in the center of play. The tag line says it best, “A Mad Dash to Build or Crash!” The player who can build most successfully will be the winner. In this game a player will be trying to construct towers out of wooden blocks while the other players are trying to knock them down.
Well Kaboom, from Blue Orange Games, takes that concept to a whole new level. If you have multiple kids you have undoubtedly had the joy of watching one of the others knock down said tower to the other’s utter dismay.
If you have kids you have undoubtedly had the joy of watching them create beautiful and majestic towers out of wooden blocks. Designer: Roberto Fraga and Florence FragaĪrtist: Stéphane Escapa and Michael Menzel
