Bim Bam Bum

Can you say “Bim Bam Bum”? It sounds easy… until chaos takes over the table.

In Bim Bam Bum, your goal is simple: don’t mess up and be the first to get rid of all your cards. On your turn, place a card from your deck face up on one of the three piles on the table and say out loud the word on the card: Bim, Bam, or Bum.

What happens next depends on how many times that word appears on the table- and messing up is easier than you think. If the word appears once, just say it once and the turn passes to the next player. If it appears twice, you’ll need to say it twice and the next player loses their turn. If it appears three times, you’ll have to say it three times in a row and the direction of play will reverse.

And as if that wasn’t enough, whenever there’s a Bim, a Bam, and a Bum on the table (in any order), you must shout “Bim Bam Bum!” and everyone except you must slap their hand on the center of the table as fast as they can.

Every time a player makes a mistake, they must add cards to their deck.

Play fast, change the direction, skip turns, and race to be the first to run out of cards- while everyone else tries to do the same: don’t mess up.
