In this neatly packaged box, you will find 110 double-sided cards (effectively giving you 220 options to work with), a unique game die that has custom icons on it, and a toy bomb – don’t worry, you won’t lose any fingers, it’s a plastic toy that has a sound box in it that makes the sound of ticking and then exploding.
