Thanks for playing! Out of curiosity, what did you find confusing in the rules?

More than anything it was my limited attention span for reading-the-directions, and not really understanding what the shields were supposed to represent. The bomb would come to me, and I would click someone else; it was mid-game that I started to realize that the shields worked as something like a counter.
I'm sure you explained it in the text; I'm just saying that it wasn't very self-declarative or obvious in the game.
