Red wire or blue wire? Gobgob is sweating.

Bomb Busters is a co-op deduction board game by Hisashi Hayashi, and the winner of the 2025 Spiel des Jahres. Your team of bomb disposal experts each has a rack of numbered wire tiles that only you can see. On your turn, point at a teammate's wire and guess its number using a matching wire from your own rack. Right? Both wires get cut. Wrong? The detonator ticks closer to boom. Cut every wire to clear the mission, with 66 missions that get trickier as you go.

Gobgob's favourite bit: The red wires. Cut one and it's instant BOOM, so every guess near a red wire turns the whole table very, very quiet.
