## Description

Them Bombs is a cooperative, fast-paced board game for 2-4 players. One player becomes the Unlikely Hero, facing a ticking bomb on screen, while the others form the Expert Team with access to the bomb defusal manual. The team communicates only with verbal communication to guide the hero, making split-second decisions under pressure.

Key features include team coordination, describing what you see with words, expert guidance via a defusal manual, and global leaderboards to compare your team’s performance. Some game items may be available as in-app purchases. For device differences, download the Manual version compatible with your iPhone or iPad.
