Pros:
- Dice rolling, color matching, a little bit of math--anyone can do it.
- If you like luck + strategy, this game strikes an interesting balance of both. It's about 75% luck, 10% strategy, and 15% WHY DID YOU TAKE THAT NO GIVE IT BACK
- The time limit prevents you from overthinking your play, but you do have to think a little--and quickly!
Cons:
- The time limit prevents you (and your fellow players) from making smarter decisions that would screw you over less often.
- The symbols on each bomb take some getting used to. Like, "more than one round" getting used to.
- 10 minutes to defuse ~20 bombs is very short, especially if you get stuck on Level 4+ bombs.
- People get too excited and sometimes we have to hunt down dice that got thrown off the table.
Overall a fun game if you play with the right people (i.e. those who are quick to act). Recommend starting with a deck of all the 1s and 2s, plus a few 3s and 4s. Adjust time as needed until you think you can beat the clock with a normal randomized setup.
If you like 5 Minute Dungeon, you'll like this game and vice versa. 5MD is a bit easier.

Fuse is a great game, thats fast paced, and very frantic. There's an app you can download thats just a 10 min timer, but as soon as you start that timer, wow you feel the pressure. The app has two settings, a basic timer, and a personality timer, the latter is the best option, she is constantly antagonizing you, but it just adds to the chaos. Each round who ever has the bag in hand pulls an equal amount of dice equal to the players, with the exception of solo and two player, in two player you pull four dice, and each player is allowed two dice, and solo you pull three, and your responsible for all three. But after you pull the dice, you have to roll them, then you need to use those dice on the cards infront of you to defuse the bombs, any dice not used are rerolled and then if you have a dice that matches either the color or number then each player has to discard a dice from there bomb cards. The game has a simple premise but its so hard. There are different settings depending on tje challenge you want,.training, all the way to expert, I have played this solo, with my wife, and with my kids ages 8 and 10, we had a blast lol, but never won, and it was so much fun that we didn't mind that we lost. This game is very easy to learn, my kids caught on right away, but some of the bomb cards really make you think, there are math problems, and patterns, and simple things that will make you feel dumb, but in a fun way. My family and I have to give this game an 9.5-10, this game will definitely being staying in our collection.
