All you need to get started is:

1 BÆM™ 2 Player Skirmish Box
1 Small Token. Something like a dice, coin, hair tie etc.
1 Friend shaped thing.

Each BÆM™ 2 Player Skirmish Box comes with enough cards to build two Skirmish decks. One for you and one for your friend. There are also a few extra cards in each box for when you're ready to build your own decks.

Starting a new game is always exciting and a bit scary, but don’t worry we know you are super smart and will catch on in no time. So clip on that cape and get ready to play BAM!

Skirmish is a quick game type and perfect introduction for BÆM™. Providing fast game times, and a more focused approach on single Location domination.

Skirmish rules allow for turn after turn Deployment in the same Location, unlike WAR.

You cannot legally deploy into Admin turn after turn, this rule also applies to War.

BAM War Playing Field

WAR is the original game type for BÆM™. Deeper and more varied combinations, strategies, and playstyles come together to create engaging and challenging gameplay.

WAR games are rich in watercooler moments that inspire additional replays. Multiple Locations create unique combo plays, challenging the ideas of a single dominate game META.

WAR rules do not allow for any turn after turn Deployment in the same Location or Admin, unlike Skirmish.

Use your deployment marker to track between Admin and multiple Location deployment.
