Overview
It's never too early to start thinking about entering the popular trade of construction. It's also never too early to blow stuff up! Kids and parents alike are sure to enjoy the frantic fun of Build or Boom.
This two-player game pits challengers head to head as they stack materials to form a structure according to plans laid out on the challenge cards. The first person to successfully balance their pieces to match the plans wins the point. Most importantly, they get to slam their fist into the dynamite, sending their challenger's construction site flying through the air.
It's hard to say what's more fun: matching your build to the blueprint on the construction card or detonating your opponent's construction site with a satisfying TNT smash. You decide when you play Build or Boom!

Frequently Asked Questions
Question: Is the explosion dangerous?
Answer: The "explosion" is a puff of air that's powerful enough to scatter the building materials, but it's not otherwise harmful at all.
Question: Could I play with four people?
Answer: The game is meant to be a head-to-head challenge and only comes with two construction sets. However, if you got two sets and figured out where to fairly put the dynamite so that everyone could reach, that should work!
