International Games

The PIATNIK product range includes a number of games which have been translated into several languages and are tremendously successful on the international market.

The following turned out to be absolute hits:

Each player tries to get rid of the infernal ticking bomb before the time is up. What counts is quick reactions and the right word at the right time. Each contestant has to pick out a card and then think of words containing the letters that are printed on the card. Only this way can the ticking bomb be passed on to the next player.

PASS THE BOMB! is a tremendous success worldwide and has been translated into 9 different languages: English, French, Danish, Hungarian, Finnish, Czech, Italian, Spanish, and Dutch.

In Denmark, the Danish version, CRAZY BOMB, became "Game of the Year" in 1998. Under the name "PASS THE BOMB", it conquered the English speaking market and, in 1997, became "Game of the Year" in the UK.
In the same year, the French version won a gold medal at the 12th FESTIVAL INTERNATIONAL DES JEUX in Cannes.

BUFFALO

Buffalo hunt for tacticians

A huge herd of buffalos is thundering across the prairie. It threatens the village of Native Americans across the river. Will the Big Chief together with his four dogs manage to stop the herd in time? BUFFALO is a fast moving tactical board game for two players who adopt different roles. The player responsible for the buffalos wins, if he/she manages to lead one buffalo across the second river. The player with the Native American and the four dogs tries to prevent this. The latter wins if he/she can catch all the buffalos or stop them with the help of the dogs.
