Find three in a row without causing an explosion! Bombastic is a spicy, five-minute, travel-friendly game for two players. One player is Xs, and the other is Os — pretty standard so far. But what you don't know can hurt you. Nine chunky tiles are shuffled face down into a 3×3 grid — 4 of them Xs, 4 of them Os, and the last? A ticking, delicate bomb. Can you find your tiles without blowing up? 

On your turn, either: Go for It — Show three tiles in a row. If they are yours, you win! If you show the bomb — BOOM! You lose! If you show any of your opponent's tiles, then you give them helpful information (whoops), but the tiles are placed back face down, and the game keeps going. Use one of two available action cards to help you peek at and rearrange tiles, staying one step ahead of your rival. Only the cleverest player who uses the action cards wisely (and isn't afraid to take a chance here and there) will be able to win Bombastic! Bombastic is part of Bitewing Games’ Travel Line. It comes packaged inside a clamshell case with a carabiner, making it easy to play with anyone, anywhere!

  • Excellent production value with chunky acrylic tiles and a clamshell zipper travel case.
  • Simple and intuitive ruleset based on a tic-tac-toe mechanism with a twist will make the barrier to entry on this title very low since everyone has played tic-tac-toe.
  • Easy to learn and teach, this game plays very quickly and resets easily for ultimate replayability.
  • A delightful mix of strategy and push your luck.

Matthew ★★★★★

The five-minute rounds are perfect for quick breaks — we've already played six games in one lunch. The compact box slides right into my bag, and the explosive reveal mechanic adds real tension.

Brian I. ★★★★★

Didn't expect a two-player game to fit in my jacket pocket, but this one does, and the whole round really does wrap up in about five minutes. The explosion twist keeps it from feeling like plain tic-tac-toe, so we kept rematching on the train.

Thomas ★★★★★

Took this to a bar and we played four rounds while waiting on drinks, which says a lot for a five-minute game. The explosion rule keeps you second-guessing every placement, so it's way tenser than plain tic-tac-toe. Tiny enough to live in my jacket pocket.
