Don't mess with Cthulhu

IBCDMWC1 Dont Mess With Cthulhu Card Game Iello Games

In TimeBomb, you are playing either a terrorist trying to make a bomb blow up, or a SWAT team member trying to defuse it.

Each player receives a card at the beginning of the game that indicates his role and keep it secret until the end of the game. Then, at each of the game\'s 4 rounds, each player receives 5 cards that he shuffles after having a quick look at them and place them face down in front of him. Among all of the players cards, a number of SUCCESS cards, one BOOM card and the rest being SAFE card.

The active player then chooses another\'s player card and reveals it, that player then becoming the new active player. After N cards have been revealed (N being the number of players), all cards are shuffled again and distributed equally to the players for a new round. If at any time the BOOM card is revealed, the terrorists team wins. If all SUCCESS cards are revealed before that happens, then the SWAT team members win.

Will you be able to convince the other player to reveal your own cards among them a SUCCESS is hidden ? Or are you just trying to cheat the SWAT team members into revealing your own cards because the BOOM card is among them ? Only a game of TimeBomb will say.
