What is Them Bombs?

A message from Dr TiNT leads you to a ticking bomb in this local cooperative puzzle game for two to four players. One player operates the bomb on the computer while the others read a defusal manual. The defuser cannot see the manual, and the experts cannot see the screen, so they must coordinate by voice before time runs out.

For you if...

+you like tabletop-style games built around small-group cooperation

Not for you if...

−you prefer relaxed puzzles without a ticking clock
−you want to play without coordinating with other people

What players say
