Each player, in turn, must find a word that would fit with the illustration on the card and pass on the ticking bomb before it explodes.
For example, if the card shows a beach, good words would be sandcastles, shells or shovel and bucket. The bomb has a variable electronic timer, once started nobody knows how long it is going to tick. The player holding the bomb when it explodes keeps his cards. The player with the smallest number of cards wins!
