Product Description

Bomb Busters is a co-operative deduction game where players become a team of bomb disposal experts facing one nerve-testing mission after another.

A bomb is loaded with hidden wires, and the team must work together to identify and cut matching wires safely. Each player can see some information, but not everything, so the group has to use clues, logic, and careful decisions to work out what each teammate is holding.

Cut the right wires and the team gets closer to success. Cut the wrong wire, especially a red one, and the mission can go badly wrong very quickly. As the missions progress, new twists, equipment, restrictions, and challenges are added, giving the game strong replay value and a real sense of progression. The FAQ also clarifies important advanced rules around solo cuts, duo cuts, equipment cards, and mission-specific effects.

With 66 missions, Bomb Busters is ideal for players who enjoy co-operative puzzle games, deduction, teamwork, and those “wait… are we sure?” moments around the table.

Care & Maintenance

Keep the cards, wire tiles, stands, and tokens stored neatly in the box after play. Use the game on a clean, dry surface and avoid bending the cards or exposing the components to moisture, food spills, or long periods of direct sunlight. Because the game uses hidden information, keep the wire tiles and stands organised between missions so setup stays smooth and nothing gets mixed up.
