{"product_id":"bomb-busters","title":"Bomb Busters","description":"\u003cp\u003eA bead of sweat rolls down your forehead. The wire in front of you is supposed to be the safe one. Your teammate, who can't see your hand and can only hint at theirs, is staring at the same wire with a face that says they're not so sure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBomb Busters is a cooperative deduction game built around limited communication. Each player holds a hand of numbered wires, hidden from everyone else. Together you have to figure out which wire to cut next, in the right order, before the bomb's clock runs out. You can drop hints, you can use limited Once-Per-Game abilities, but you can't just show your hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat makes it sing is how the difficulty scales. The box ships with 66 missions that escalate from simple introductory puzzles to brutally tight challenges with new constraints layered on top. Most groups will make it through the first ten in an evening and then ration the rest as a long-running cooperative campaign.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCo-op gaming groups, families with deduction-friendly teens, and anyone who's loved games like The Crew or Hanabi will find a great fit here. Plays in 30 minutes per mission, so you can squeeze a couple in before bed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt's a tense, snappy, surprisingly funny game once your group figures out their hint signals. Be honest about who's good at deduction puzzles before you bring it out for new players, because the early missions are easier than the curve suggests.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Game Connection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48376494063865,"sku":"PES51280","price":31.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0806\/7527\/5001\/files\/01-box-front_1f018824-4038-4c61-85ca-38b518a07290.jpg?v=1778278139","url":"https:\/\/thegameconnection.com\/products\/bomb-busters","provider":"The Game Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
