BOBO BOBO is a board game released in 2022 for 2–10 players, 15 minutes per game, and ages 14 and up.
It is an ingenious, simple and strategic game, in which you must use your creativity to make the opposing team believe your lie. Form 2 teams (red vs. blue). Deal 16 cards to each team. Step 1: each team draws a card and isolates itself to make up 2 false answers to the question on the card. These answers you will have to write them down on the sheet next to the correct one. Step 2: when both teams have prepared all their answers, they will come together. Turn by turn, each team shows its question to the opposing team. The answering team has to place their counters on the answer they think is correct. It must place all of its counters, but they can distribute them among several answers in case of doubts among the team. The correct answer is then revealed: the team will keep only the counters that they have placed on the good answer, while the good answer, while the rest will be taken out of the game. Step 3: when the 2 teams have played, we start again from step 1. To answer the next question, you will only have the counters you have been able to keep! The first team to run out of counters loses the game. In case of a tie, start a new game again!
