Playing a COMMAND card is a good way to avoid going “BOOM-O!” On your
turn, play a COMMAND card when you like, not just when the total reaches 60
seconds.
DRAW 1: Going in the direction of play, all other
players must pick up 1 card from the Draw pile.
Running total stays the same. The next player
goes.
DRAW 2: Going in the direction of play, all
other players must pick 2 cards from the
Draw pile. Running total stays the same.
The next player goes.
REVERSE: : Play reverses direction. If
played when only 2 players are left, this
card has no effect. Running total stays
the same.
SKIP: The next player is skipped and
play proceeds to the following player. If
played with only two players, the player
of the card would get an immediate
new turn. Running total stays the same.
DOUBLE PLAY: If you play a DOUBLE PLAY card, the next
player must play 2 cards from his hand. Follow the cards’
directions sequentially. The first card played must be a
card that affects the running total: 5, 10, :0, :30 or :60. (If
you push the total over 60
or if you don’t have any Number
card to play, Boom-O! Flip over one of your “Ticking Time
Bomb” cards!) The second card played will affect
gameplay as it continues with the next player.
=60: No matter what it was, the total is now
60 seconds. If the total was already 60, it has
no effect, but avoids a penalty.
=30: The running total is
now 30 seconds.
=0: The running
total is now 0.
TRADE HANDS: If you play a TRADE HANDS card
you can choose with whom you will trade hands.
Play continues, and running total stays the same.
If this card is the last card played from a player’s
hand, the round is over.
BOMB: Boom-O! When this card is
played, all other players, following the
direction of play, must immediately
discard a HOLD card to stay alive. If
they don’t have a HOLD, they must flip
a “Ticking Time Bomb” card. Running
total resets to 0.
However, if you discard a BOMB card and all players
play HOLD cards, you must flip over one of your own
“Ticking Time Bomb” cards. Use those BOMBS wisely!
HOLD: If you play a HOLD card, the running total
holds. Remember: your HOLD cards are very
valuable when someone plays a BOMB; the HOLD
card will keep your “Ticking Time Bombs” ticking!

To be the last player with at least one of 3 of your “Ticking Time
Bombs” that hasn’t gone Boom-O!
• Place three “Ticking Time Bomb” cards in front of
each player (see illustration below, set up for 4
players). Set aside unused “Ticking Time Bomb”
cards and keep them separate for the whole game.
• Shuffle the deck.
• Deal out 7 cards to each player.
• Place the remainder of the deck
face down as a Draw pile. Next
to it will be the Discard pile.
• Play goes clockwise, starting
left of the dealer.
Overview:
• Players take turns placing a card onto the Discard pile.
The goal: Do not push the total card count over 60 seconds.
Otherwise you’ll have to turn over one of your 3 "Ticking Time
Bomb" cards which go Boom-O!
• You may play a NUMBER card (e.g., 5, 10) and add it to the
running total, trying to keep it below 60 seconds.
• You may also play a COMMAND card (e.g., Skip, Double Play)
and follow its instructions.
• Once a player plays his last card, that player wins that round,
which then ends. All the other players flip over a “Ticking Time
Bomb” card. A new round begins only when a player plays all his
cards.
• After each round, each player who still has “Ticking Time Bomb”
cards face up draws to re-stock his hand to 7 cards. The total
resets to 0 for each new round.
• If you run out of cards in the Draw pile, re-shuffle them.

• As soon as one player flips all “Ticking Time Bomb” cards, the game
ends. The player with the most “Ticking Time Bomb” cards remaining is
the winner.
• If there is a tie, the tied players add the total value of the cards remaining
in their hands. Count the NUMBER cards’ values and count the
COMMAND cards as 1 point. The player with the lowest total wins.
The last player left with a “Ticking Time Bomb” card face up is the winner!
• The game begins at 0. First player places a card to start the
Discard pile next to the Draw pile. Play continues clockwise.
• If the card placed is a NUMBER card, the number value is added to
the current running total. If it’s a COMMAND card, the total
depends on the command.
• If the only card you can play takes the total over 60 seconds, you
must flip over a “Ticking Time Bomb” card. Whoever still has
“Ticking Time Bomb” cards remaining and has less than 7 cards,
should re-stock to 7 cards. The total resets to 0 for a new round.
• Once a player plays his last card, that round is over. All the other
players flip over a “Ticking Time Bomb” card. Total resets to 0 for
the new round, regardless of the last card played in the Discard
pile.
• If all 3 of your “Ticking Time Bomb” cards are turned over, you are
eliminated, and you must immediately discard any cards you might
still have in your hand to the bottom of the Draw pile.
• If you run out of cards in the Draw pile, re-shuffle them.
One of your “Ticking Time Bomb” card is turned over in the
following circumstances:
• If you cannot play a card without taking the running total over
60 seconds
• If you do not have a HOLD card when the BOMB card is played
• If you have at least 1 card in your hand when a player gets rid of
his last card
• If, during a Double Play, you don’t have any Number card to play
