About the game
In BamBam Boom, there are 3 kind of Bombs, Red, Green and Yellow bombs. Each player need to avoid the explosion and the last survivor gets the delicious food. The Boom Cards has two properties, a color and a number. The 3 colors, Red, Green and Yellow corresponds to the three bombs. When played, the color indicates which bomb is activated. That bomb dials increases as many as the card’s number and it moves clockwise to the next player that many steps. As long as the bomb dials is under 10, everything is fine. Once the dials reaches 10, the bomb is armed and the lucky player who has that bomb in front of him/her gets Kaboomed! To illustrate the game: the game divide to normal phase and danger phase. At normal phase: 1. Draw to max hand size. 2. May play action card as many as they want. (hei, it's a bonus action and has a lot of twist and fun) 3. Play bomb card. 4. Move and increase the bomb (hot potato). At normal phase: 1. May play action card as many as they want. (hei, it's a bonus action and has a lot of twist and fun) 2. Play bomb card. 3.
