The Battle Royale of Card Games!
BONC! is a fun, intense and strategic card game for kids and adults alike. Distribute life tokens and deal the deck, match numbers to BONC! your opponents, and use crazy wild cards to attack, defend and heal!
Stay alive. BONC! everybody else.
Everyone starts with five lives. Take turns playing one card face up on the pile. Match the number of the card played just before yours and that player gets BONC!ED. Use the wild cards for special attacks, protection and healing.
- Don't get BONC!ED. Stay alive!
- BONC! (kill) everybody else!
- The last one standing wins!
Four steps. Zero mercy.
Set up and deal
The chosen dealer deals the cards, starting with the player on their left and going clockwise. The player on the dealer's left starts the game.
Take turns playing a card
On your turn, play any one card.
BONC! or get BONC!ED
If you have the chance to BONC! someone, do it, and shout "BONC!" when you do. Get BONC!ED and you lose a life into the Pit of Doom. Lose all your lives and you're out.
Fight to the death!
When everyone runs out of cards, reshuffle, re-deal and play on with whoever is left. Betray all your friends and family and you win.
See it played.

A family card game, thirty years in the making.
The game we have now was developed and redesigned from a card game Craig and his family have played for over thirty years with a regular deck of cards.
The new BONC! changes how many of each number are in the deck, so some cards are safer than others, and adds the wild cards, which turn it into a more aggressive and tension-filled game for the whole family or an adults-only evening.
