Ya Blew It!

About this board game

Ya Blew It! is a 20-minute social push-your-luck game for 3–6 players, first released in 2018. Players dig into a card deck to mine for diamonds and stake their claims while rival prospectors look for opportunities to take them.

Every decision brings a choice between caution and greater risk. You can play it safe, or push your luck in search of a bigger claim. Other prospectors may try to steal from you and give you the shaft, keeping the table engaged and the tension high.

A unique set of 8-sided dynamite dice adds an explosive element to the experience. With every suspenseful roll, the atmosphere can erupt in shouts of “Fire in the Hole!” as players discover whether their daring approach will pay off.

Ya Blew It! is built around social interaction, risk-taking, and suspense rather than a quiet, solitary mining experience. The combination of diamond hunting, rival interference, and dynamite dice creates a lively game that can be enjoyed in about 20 minutes.
