Game Objective
Never draw a Skull Blast card. Push the danger onto everyone else and be the last player still in the game.
Made in Bangladesh
Card names, rules and humour written for adda with friends, Eid holidays and tiffin breaks. Anytime, anywhere.
Setup
Five quick steps before the first turn.
Give everyone 1 Deactivate
Hand each player one Deactivate card and keep it secret. Shuffle the leftover Deactivates into the deck.
Set the Skull Blasts aside
Use (number of players − 1) Skull Blast cards. Four players means three Skull Blasts.
Shuffle the draw deck
Mix all remaining action cards and Skeleton Collection cards into one well-shuffled draw deck.
Deal 3 cards each
Deal three face-down cards to every player. Nobody may see another player's hand.
Insert the Skull Blasts
Slide the chosen Skull Blast cards into the draw deck, shuffle again, and place it face down in the middle.
How a Turn Works
Every turn is the same two beats — play, then draw.
Play any number of cards
Attack, skip, shuffle, peek or steal — or play nothing at all.
Draw one card to end your turn
Your turn always ends by drawing the top card. Play passes to the next player.
Drew a Skull Blast?
Reveal it. Play a Deactivate to survive and hide the Skull Blast anywhere in the deck. No Deactivate means you are out.
Keep the pressure on
Double Strike forces the next player to take two turns. Bypass dodges your own draw.
Card Types
Eight action cards decide who draws next — and how badly.
Danger
Skull Blast
Draw it and you are out of the game — unless a Deactivate is in your hand.
Defence
Deactivate
Cancels a Skull Blast and lets you secretly hide it back anywhere in the deck.
Attack
Double Strike
Ends your turn without drawing and forces the next player to take two turns.
Counter
Cancel / Nope
Cancels any action card — playable at any time, even on someone else's turn.
Reset
Shuffle
Reshuffles the whole draw deck and moves every Skull Blast to a new position.
Escape
Bypass / Skip
Ends your turn immediately without drawing a card.
Steal
Giveaway / Favor
Force another player to choose a card from their hand and give it to you.
Intel
Vision Scan
Secretly look at the top 3 cards of the deck, then put them back in the same order.
Special Cards
Skeleton Collection cards do nothing alone. Played in pairs or triples, they steal.

Two of a Kind

3×
Three of a Kind
Play three matching Skeleton cards and name the exact card you want. If they have it, they must hand it over.
How to Win
When every other player has drawn a Skull Blast with no Deactivate in hand, the one survivor left wins Bone Blast.
Rules people always forget
- Skeleton combos can never ask for a Skull Blast or a Deactivate — only ordinary action cards.
- Vision Scan only reveals the top 3 cards. You may not reorder them.
- The player who plays Double Strike draws nothing; the next player draws twice.
- An eliminated player's whole hand goes to the discard pile.
- If the deck runs out, reshuffle the discard pile (minus Skull Blasts) into a new deck.
- When you hide a Skull Blast back, nobody is allowed to watch where it goes.
Pro tips
Protect your Deactivate
It is the most valuable card in the game. Keep a Cancel ready for anyone who tries to take it.
Use Vision Scan smartly
See a Skull Blast on top? Play Bypass or Shuffle immediately. That is the strongest info in the game.
Hide the Blast on top
After defusing, slip the Skull Blast right on top so the next player walks straight into it.
Steal their shield
Use Giveaway or a triple Skeleton combo to pull the Deactivate out of the strongest player's hand.
