Bomb Busters: The Pro Kit (Le Kit Pro) is an announced expansion to the 66-mission cooperative deduction game. Cocktail Games lists a November 2026 release for its French product page. As of September 2026, this is an advance guide to confirmed contents and compatibility, not a review or a walkthrough of unreleased missions. An English edition and its timing are not confirmed by that page.
What is confirmed in the box?
The publisher describes acrylic wire tiles that replace the base game’s cardboard wire tiles, storage bags, 11 new missions and two new special wires. The new wires have effects for those missions and can also add variety to the original 66. The publisher says the expansion fits inside the base-game box.
Do I need to finish all 66 missions first?
No. Cocktail Games explicitly says you can start The Pro Kit whenever you want, without first completing the 66 included missions. For a brand-new group, the base game still teaches the deduction system progressively: its first eight training missions introduce the rules before the five surprise boxes open. Learning those actions and communication limits first is the safer teaching sequence.
How does it relate to the base game?
The core system is still about cutting matching numbered wires while avoiding red wires and the detonator’s end space. The Pro Kit expands the available mission material and special-wire mix. Its acrylic pieces are an upgrade to the physical tiles, not a separate playable base game. Follow each new mission’s printed setup and special rules; the publisher’s mission FAQ already has individual clarifications, but reading those entries in advance can spoil mission surprises.
What should an English-edition buyer check?
The official product page currently describes the French release. Before ordering for an English base game, confirm the language of the mission cards, instructions and any special-wire labels on the actual edition offered by your retailer or publisher. The base box’s English rules are available separately, but they do not establish the language or availability of The Pro Kit.
Who is it for?
It is aimed at groups that already enjoy Bomb Busters’ restricted communication and want more missions and a tactile tile replacement. If the group has only just started, the original box already includes 66 replayable missions, so use that teaching progression before adding new special wires. The 11 new missions make the expansion a content addition rather than a necessary fix to the base game.
Before your first Pro Kit mission
- Confirm that everyone knows Dual Cut, Solo Cut, Reveal Your Red Wires and the detonator failure condition.
- Read the new mission card aloud and apply its setup before dealing tiles.
- Keep the official FAQ nearby for a specific mission question, while avoiding future-mission entries.
- Use the new special-wire rules from the expansion rather than assuming their decimal sort positions tell you their in-game values.
