About the game
An uproarious party game filled with challenging and entertaining Bible topics. Each topic has 10 target answers. How many can you get? The fun begins when your team draws its very first topic. It could be “Names for Christ”, or “Animals in the Bible”, or “Sons of Jacob”. Pandemonium reigns as the 60-second timer is turned over and the verbal explosions begin. Your team will be pouring out answers, shouting out possibilities. But remember only the 10 target answers score points. There are 252 topics, a molded card viewer, bonus points, passing chips and hours and hours of fun in this non-intimidating, laughter-filled game that only takes about an hour to play. Outburst® Bible Edition- it’s as easy as it is fun. Try it... Can you name “10 Books of the Old Testament”? You have one minute... Go! Ages 8 to Adult, for 2 Teams.

Questions and answers
Outburst Bible Edition supports 2–20 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Outburst Bible Edition is 90 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Outburst Bible Edition for ages 8 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Outburst Bible Edition has a complexity rating of 1.4 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
