FUSE

About this board game

FUSE is a real-time cooperative game for 1–5 players that challenges a team to defuse every bomb in just ten minutes.

Intruders have breached your ship, and more than twenty bombs are ready to destroy it. Your elite Bomb Defusal Team must work together quickly, solving the intricate requirements shown on the bomb cards before the countdown ends.

• 25 dice and 65 cards
• More than twenty bombs to neutralize
• A ten-minute timer for every game
• Cooperative play for 1–5 players

Each bomb is represented by a card requiring a specific combination of dice. At the start of a round, a number of dice equal to the number of players is drawn from a bag and rolled. The team must then decide how to distribute them, with every player taking one and only one die.

The challenge is to maximize the potential of every roll across the entire team. A die that completes one bomb may be exactly what another player needs, and the limited time leaves little opportunity to consider every possible option. Communication and quick decisions are essential as the countdown continues.

With its combination of shared planning, rapidly changing dice, and a strict ten-minute limit, FUSE creates an intense cooperative race against time. Can your team coordinate its rolls, complete the bomb requirements, and save the ship before the game self-destructs?

Released in 2015, FUSE puts the whole table on the same side of the crisis, with every player contributing to the urgent mission.
