About the Game

What’s more satisfying than triggering a fun chain reaction to outsmart your opponents?

Bomb5 is a clever and super accessible tile-laying game where you place numbered tiles and combine them to make a total of 5. Do that five times(you guessed it) and you win! Turns are quick and full of surprises, as explosive tiles can turn the play area upside down when you least expect it.

Each player starts with a hand of three numbered tiles (going from 1–4). On their turn, players place a tile orthogonally adjacent to another on the play area. If the sum of connected number tiles equals 5, a chain reaction is triggered: you place one of your cup tiles on one end of the line and flip the tile at the other end —whether it's a cup... or a bomb. Be the first to place 5 face-up cups to win!

Bomb tiles add a twist, with effects ranging from flipping a specific tile to disrupting entire rows or columns. With simple rules and a dynamic gameplay loop, Bomb5 strikes a fun balance between strategy and surprise.
