First up: We mind our P’s and Q’s … well mostly our Peas in Easy PeasyNext: We cut the blue wire … no wait, the green wire, or was it the red wire in Bomb BustersAnd lastly: We go off the rails on a crazy train, and we go loco on our locomotive in Rollecate







Easy Peasy







Designed by: Thomas Favrelière, Alex Fortineau, Simon MoulardPublished by: BLAM ! (2025)Players: 2 – 6Ages: 8 & upPlaying time: 15 minutes







Easy Peasy is a card game where the objective is to get rid of your cards and end the round when you think you have the lowest score







Each player starts with a hand of numbered cards along with a row of cards in front of them. In all, there cards are numbered 1-10 and there are 6 colored suits. In the center lies 2 discard piles, along with a third pile of cards denting the direction, either up or down.







On your turn, play your cards on one of the 2 discard piles, respecting the direction set by the Up&Down card: either go up in value, or go down. If the card you play matches the color on the discard pile, take a bonus action and discard another card if you can. Don’t hesitate to change this direction to gain an advantage and slow down your opponents!







Try to get rid of all the cards in your hand to end the round and score as few points as possible! At the end of a round, all players will count their total sum value of cards in their hand, and they will also separately count the sum value of the cards in their row. Take the lower value of the two, and compare scores. After 3 rounds, the player with the lowest total score wins the game. Easy Peasy lemon squeezy.







Bomb Busters

There is a bomb full of wires and the countdown has started, who are you gonna call? YOU! To clear the bomb, you need to collaborate with your team of bomb disposal experts! Using the wires on the tile holder in front of you, try and figure out your teammates’ wires. Find and cut identical wires, but watch out, if you cut a red wire: BOOM! Use your equipment wisely to meet the varied challenges which get harder and harder. Tick tock tick tock… Will you figure it out before it’s too late?







In Bomb Busters, there is a set of 48 normal wire cards numbered 1-12 (4 of each value) with some yellow and red wire cards. These are dealt out. Each mission is different, but your goal is always the same: go through all 12 numbers without blowing up!







Players place the tiles on their stands and then take turns pointing at each others’ wires and guessing their values. If the guess is correct, the wires are cut. If not — the detonator advances! If you manage to cut all wires without blowing up — good job, the mission is completed! But if the bomb goes off – Try again!







Rollecate

Rollecate is a tile laying game, based on a historic steam locomotive, built in 1967 by a famous Dutch engineer. It’s been sitting in storage for the past five years and is eager to get rolling again — and the players of this game will make that happen!







The players are going to build new tracks for Rollecate to ride on.
