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.

Christopher V. ★★★★★

Played this with my wife on a flight and we burned through six rounds before the drink cart even showed up. Two players, five minutes, and that little explosion twist makes every move feel risky. For the size it packs way more tension than I expected.

Ruby Z. ★★★★★

The little travel box makes this easy to toss in a bag, and my partner and I played three rounds waiting for our food. The explosion twist keeps it tense without being frustrating, which surprised me for something that only takes five minutes.

Miles ★★★★★

Perfect for a quick game night—the five-minute rounds keep tension high without dragging on. I love how the "explosion" mechanic adds a fresh twist to the classic tic-tac-toe format.
