Bombastic

Find three in a row without causing an explosion! Bombastic is a spicy, five-minute, travel-friendly game for two players. One player is Xs, and the other is Os — pretty standard so far. But what you don't know can hurt you. Nine chunky tiles are shuffled face down into a 3×3 grid — 4 of them Xs, 4 of them Os, and the last? A ticking, delicate bomb. Can you find your tiles without blowing up? On your turn, either: Go for It — Show three tiles in a row. If they are yours, you win! If you show the bomb — BOOM! You lose! If you show any of your opponent's tiles, then you give them helpful information (whoops), but the tiles are placed back face down, and the game keeps going. Use one of two available action cards to help you peek at and rearrange tiles, staying one step ahead of your rival. Only the cleverest player who uses the action cards wisely (and isn't afraid to take a chance here and there) will be able to win Bombastic! Bombastic is part of Bitewing Games’ Travel Line. It comes packaged inside a clamshell case with a carabiner, making it easy to play with anyone, anywhere! —description from the publisher
