Which we repeated on our third and final attempt at this mission. The second game we did better and rescued the first hostage, disarmed the first bomb, and got the second hostage. Our first game we failed miserably, rescued a hostage but failed disarming the first bomb. We played the training mission, with the program cards being played face up. Imagine the love child of Robo Rally and Hanabi, put it against the clock and you have the game play of Bomb Squad. However this isn't your normal collaborative game. Earlier I had downloaded the companion app for the game that provides a timer for the various missions in the game.īomb Squad is a collaborative game where you are all working together to rescue hostages, and disable bombs before the time runs out. We started off the session playing Jonathan's latest addition to his collection, his just arrived Kickstarter copy of Bomb Squad.

Plus I’m not too impressed with how to set up an online game via the Create Game screen and the Join the Game menu option.Īs you can see between Jonathan and myself we had a “small” selection of games to choose from for the session. It’s very much stumble around, trying things to work out what they are. It’d be handy for the iconography used in the Create Game menu option. I do have a major criticism of this initial version. I have to say this new version looks beautiful. It’s nice for Portal to admit this, and prove one of my points. In that time we have seen os updates that have broken it. Why am I bringing it here? Well Ignacy or whoever at his company wrote the app release notes made my point for me!īefore this new version was released players of the app have been in limbo for about 2 years (I think that is correct, it’s definitely over a year). It’s a subject that Ignacy Trzewiczek and I do not see eye to eye on. I don’t mind companion apps that are not integral to game play, but are optional and enhance the experience. On a side note it’s no secret what my opinion on board games that rely/require apps to play.
