Just got this game. So much fun. Such little space really needed and it doesn't take a long time. It's a great game. Easy for non gamers too so we bring it everywhere.
11:23 Rahdo, a 2 looks like a 2 whichever way up it is (and not a 5!), but I understand you were under a lot of strain at the time. What a great, stressful game!
picked this up today, played out a couple of times and won once... then realised you have to clear the ones in the middle too. This is going to be a challenge, and that's a good thing! can't wait to try the solo mode
I think I need to ease up on the runthoughs... Last night I dreamt that my girlfriend, Jen, Rahdo and myself went on a day hike in the national park near where i live. Haha!
12:20 “And it’s a 2, so nobody loses a 2, that’s great” lolol. It was a Green 2 and could have been used to defuse his bomb. Oh, what pressure can do to a person.
I just got this game, and playing solo the rule book says to draw 3 dice, but if you can only use 1 die, it's impossible to win when you have to reroll 2 dice each turn. Am I playing that right?
Hey Rahdo, what do you use to get the table view angle? Im looking for something for my reviews that can get a direct down angle like you have. Cheap is better.
Wow, this game is so stressful. I bet there is some level of strategy involved, but with the time limitations you will definitely not play optimally. So the game seems to become like all the other games where you just roll the dice and deal with what you get. Not the kind of fun I am looking for, but thanks for the review.
+cartoon80s90s the key to winning is choosing the right bombs to defuse, taking into account what your other bomb is, plus the bombs of all the other players, so that you'll want different dice then them so as to avoid conflicts. easier said than done though when under pressure :)
yes she could but it would be exactly the same... a black die would still be on the table that Richard couldn't take, so Jen would still lose the same die she did lose and it wouldn't make any difference to Richard
I don't get how this differs from playing alone with two sets of two cards each... doesn't seems the players help or challenge or interact with each other... at least not meaningful interactions....

As I watched, I was waiting for a full-scale domestic dispute to erupt.
Glad to see this game played fully! Im currently in bed with a crushed hand, so I couldn't play games this weekend haha. This cheered me up!:)
@JB JG haha thanks for asking! Much better - this now reminded me of when I crushed my hand 😂 luckily full recovery

At 10:21 Jen takes equal numbers but she needs equal colors.
Very fun game. Haven't won a single time so far :-)
You almost need a third person to "goalie" and draw cards! lol

J.J. The Great nah he was re rolling so they lose dice... that wasnt the initial roll where they can use dice

in solo you're responsible for placing all 3 dice on your cards
looks fun!
so you just need to get rid of the pile? it doesn't matter if there's still cards in the queue?
+Mellissa Ann i misspoke and corrected it in the extended. basically you have to defuse everything except for the final 2 in front of you :)

+The Kwarenteen i list everything i use at faq.rahdo.com (question 14 i think) :)
+rahdo Thanks!

8:24 Could Jen not have taken the 3?
yes she could but it would be exactly the same... a black die would still be on the table that Richard couldn't take, so Jen would still lose the same die she did lose and it wouldn't make any difference to Richard
How many players?
1-5 players
thank you, the rules dont really address it, but that would make sense
