Object:

To be the last player with at least one of 3 of your “Ticking Time Bombs” that hasn’t gone Boom-O!

Set-Up:

• Place three “Ticking Time Bomb” cards in front of each player (see illustration below, set up for 4 players). Set aside unused “Ticking Time Bomb” cards and keep them separate for the whole game.

• Shuffle the deck.

• Deal out 7 cards to each player.

• Place the remainder of the deck face down as a Draw pile. Next to it will be the Discard pile.

• Play goes clockwise, starting left of the dealer.

Gameplay:

Overview:

•Players take turns placing a card onto the Discard pile.

The goal: Do not push the total card count over 60 seconds. Otherwise you’ll have to turn over one of your 3 "Ticking Time Bomb" cards which go Boom-O!

•You may play a NUMBER card (e.g., 5, 10) and add it to the running total, trying to keep it below 60 seconds.

•You may also play a COMMAND card (e.g., Skip, Double Play) and follow its instructions.

•Once a player plays his last card, that player wins that round, which then ends. All the other players flip over a “Ticking Time Bomb” card. A new round begins only when a player plays all his cards.

•After each round, each player who still has “Ticking Time Bomb” cards face up draws to re-stock his hand to 7 cards. The total resets to 0 for each new round.

•If you run out of cards in the Draw pile, re-shuffle them.

Let's Play:

•The game begins at 0. First player places a card to start the Discard pile next to the Draw pile. Play continues clockwise.

•If the card placed is a NUMBER card, the number value is added to the current running total. If it’s a COMMAND card, the total depends on the command.

•If the only card you can play takes the total over 60 seconds, you must flip over a “Ticking Time Bomb” card. Whoever still has “Ticking Time Bomb” cards remaining and has less than 7 cards, should re-stock to 7 cards. The total resets to 0 for a new round.

•Once a player plays his last card, that round is over. All the other players flip over a “Ticking Time Bomb” card. Total resets to 0 for the new round, regardless of the last card played in the Discard pile.

•If all 3 of your “Ticking Time Bomb” cards are turned over, you are eliminated, and you must immediately discard any cards you might still have in your hand to the bottom of the Draw pile.

•If you run out of cards in the Draw pile, re-shuffle them.

One of your “Ticking Time Bomb” card is turned over in the following circumstances:

•If you cannot play a card without taking the running total over 60 seconds

•If you do not have a HOLD card when the BOMB card is played

•If you have at least 1 card in your hand when a player gets rid of his last card

•If, during a Double Play, you don’t have any Number card to play
