Our mission is to produce engaging articles like reviews, tips and tricks, game rules, strategies, etc. Winner of the Daily Telegraph Game of the Year award, and also an Imagination Gaming Award, Pass the Bomb is our best-known game and we’ve sold over a million copies in the UK. Made in the UK and Europe, we use the thickest board on the market for our jigsaw puzzles and work with a whole host of talented artists to bring you fresh cool designs, from nostalgic scenes to mesmerising prints. Once the player has correctly used the letters in a word, s/he passes the bomb timer to the player to his/her left. The aim of the game is to quickly find a word that will fit with the illustration on the card and pass on the ticking bomb before it exploded.

Sadly, Pass the Bomb has been discontinued, but in its place has appeared the perfect replacement Ka-blab! Another change I make is that instead of sitting out the round, anyone caught with the bomb simply gets to keep the card that was in play. The power-ups can introduce strategic depth to the gameplay, offering players different ways to approach passing the bomb and surviving.

On each player’s turn they roll the dice to determine whether the letters on the card should appear at the front, the end or in the middle of the word. When a challenge is made, the player who has been passed the bomb timer may prefer to say a different word and pass the bomb timer on, rather than run the risk of a challenge being overruled and the bomb timer exploding. Pass the Bomb is a simple concept that involves throwing a ticking bomb around a circle of players’ the aim being not to have it blow up in your hands!

As soon as the player has completed their turn they must pass on the bomb immediately, If the bomb is "in-between" players when it explodes, it is the following player who is deemed to have been holding the bomb when it exploded, assuming that the object given by the previous player is correct. That way, you can quickly determine whether the letters on your card will match up with the word you’ve thought of.

Before playing with younger children is a good idea to go through the cards together, so that everybody becomes familiar with the pictures. Overall, Ka-blab is a fantastic game for ESL learners that is sure to bring some excitement and energy to your classroom.

It also encourages quick thinking and word association skills, which are important for improving overall language proficiency. If the bomb timer explodes before the decision is made, and the word is accepted, the player who initially challenged the word loses the round. In the case of a tie, the players who have tied continue to play using the unused pile of cards on a "Sudden Death" basis until one player is the winner.The player holding the bomb when it explodes has to keep the card for that round, and the player with the fewest cards at the end of the 13th round wins the game. It's a sad farewell to the long-standing Pass the Bomb collection, but all good things must come to an end! A player's turn is finished as soon as s/he has said an acceptable word and passed the bomb timer on, even if the next player has not yet taken hold of the bomb timer. The Pass the Bomb collection is one of our longest-standing best-selling games and has been entertaining families for over 25 years. For about thirty nail biting minutes, players nerves are tested to the limit by the threat of the ticking bomb.
