Play is the same as the original Pass the Bomb, however there are an additional 4 types of decks and 1 category die.
Five cards from each of the four decks plus five of the original type are put face down to start the game. In each round the category die is rolled to determine which deck a card is drawn to use in that round. These categories are:
- Movers - on this card are 2 letters in which players have to call out a famous person whose name starts with 1 of those letters. If you can use both letters for that famous person's first name and surname you are exempt from playing in that round.
- Mixers - this is a deck of questions such as what is in your pencil case? Players call out a word associated with the question.
- Makers - with the word printed on the card, players have to make new words using that word either at the beginning or end of the new word e.g. BED can become BUNKBED or BEDROOM.
- Shakers - on this card there is a jumbled assortment of letters in which players have to make at least a four letter word e.g. from RBIAECAN players can make words such as bare, bear, race etc.
There is a joker on the die so any of the 5 decks can be drawn. If the bomb is rolled, then the standard version is played so the bomb die result dictates where the letters can be used as per normal Pass the Bomb.
