About Bim Bam Bum
Can you say “Bim Bam Bum”? It sounds easy… until chaos takes over the table. In Bim Bam Bum, your goal is simple: don’t mess up and be the first to get rid of all your cards. On your turn, place a card from your deck face up on one of the three piles on the table and say out loud the word on the card: Bim, Bam, or Bum. What happens next depends on how many times that word appears on the table— and messing up is easier than you think. If the word appears once, just say it once and the turn passes to the next player. If it appears twice, you’ll need to say it twice and the next player loses their turn. If it appears three times, you’ll have to say it three times in a row and the direction of play will reverse. And as if that wasn’t enough, whenever there’s a Bim, a Bam, and a Bum on the table (in any order), you must shout “Bim Bam Bum!” and everyone except you must slap their hand on the center of the table as fast as they can. Every time a player makes a mistake, they must add cards to their deck. Play fast, change the direction, skip turns, and race to be the first to run out of cards— while everyone else tries to do the same: don’t mess up. - description from designer (spanish) ¿Sabes decir “Bim Bam Bum”? Parece sencillo… hasta que el caos se apodera de la mesa. En Bim Bam Bum tu objetivo es simple: no equivocarte y ser el primero en quedarte sin cartas. En tu turno, coloca una carta de tu mazo boca arriba en uno de los tres montones de la mesa y di en voz alta la palabra que aparece: Bim, Bam o Bum. Todo depende de cuántas veces esa palabra esté visible en la mesa, y equivocarse es más fácil de lo que parece. Si aparece una vez, solo tendrás que decirla una vez y el turno pasa al siguiente jugador. Si aparece dos veces, deberás repetirla dos veces y el siguiente jugador perderá su turno. Si aparece tres veces, tendrás que decirla tres veces seguidas y el sentido del juego se invertirá. Por si fuera poco, cuando en la mesa hay una carta de Bim, una de Bam y una de Bum (¡en cualquier orden!), tendrás que gritar “Bim Bam Bum” y todos, menos tú, deberán poner la mano en el centro de la mesa lo más rápido posible. Cada vez que un jugador se equivoque, tendrá que añadir cartas a su mazo. Juega rápido, cambia el sentido del juego, salta turnos y sé el primero en quedarte sin cartas, mientras todos intentáis los mismo: no fallar. - description from designer (spanish)
