Hand-to-Hand Wombat – Build Blind, Trust No Wombat 🐾🗼

It is an all-out Wombat War! Hand-to-Hand Wombat, designed by Cory O'Brien and developed by Exploding Kittens, is a game of teamwork, towers and troublemakers for 3–6 players aged 7+, with rounds of about 15 minutes.

Everyone secretly gets a role: most players are Good Wombats, but at least one is a Wicked Wombat on the Bad Team. Scatter the bricks in the box lid, then everyone covers their eyes with one hand and reaches in with the other. The Good Wombats try to build all three towers before the timer runs out – six bricks on each, from largest at the bottom to smallest at the top. The Wicked Wombat secretly does the opposite: taking correct bricks off, handing out the wrong ones or hiding them in a paw. Talk, ask for help and listen carefully, because anyone could be lying about who they are. After each round, everyone opens their eyes and votes to eliminate the most suspicious wombat. The first team to score three points wins. Later you can add special roles, such as the Confident, Needy, Generous or Confused Wombat, for even more chaos. Because you play by touch, it is also accessible to players with low or no vision. The box includes an original comic by The Oatmeal.
