Bomb Busters

You are a member of a bomb defusing unit and must cut the right wires, but communication is limited, as is time. 66 missions come in increasing levels of difficulty and introduce additional game concepts for higher levels. A mission is selected. One player is captain, the others are randomly assigned characters with personal equipment. Other equipment comes into play after cutting wires of their value. The mission card shows specific preparations and rules for the mission; wires are prepared and values marked. Each value from 1-12 is there four times and wires are sorted in ascending order in “the hands” = wire holders of players. In your turn you have one of three actions: 1) Dual Cut – you cut two wires, one of yours and one of another member, ´selected wires are laid out openly; 2) Solo Cut; you cut blue wires on your own holder, according to specifications; 3) Secure red wires, only when you have only red wires left. If a wrong non-red wire is cut, the time marker advances. When all four wires of a value a cut, the value is marked on the check track. When a red wire is cut during the game. The bomb explodes and the game is lost. A mission is successful when all wires are laid out openly. If a red wire is cut or time runs out, the mission is lost. Surprise boxes provide the next group of missions after successful completion of the previous ones.
