In this fast card game, a bomb is in the center of the table, showing in how many seconds it will explode. Each player, at their turn must play a card that sometimes increases and very often decreases the countdown. When the counter reaches 0 or less, the bomb explodes and the player who played the last card loses a life point. All the other player can try to escape, but the slowest one will lose a life point, too! There are also some special bombs and cards with special effects.
