Preparation
- Are Fuse cards shuffled into every game, or only in the advanced setups?
- How many different Fuse cards are there, and how many are used per game?

- If I am dealt two 4-point starting cards, where does the second one go?
- What starting-hand rule applies in a solo game?
- How do I set up a 2-player Training game?
- Is there an official way to choose which Bomb Cards go into the deck?

Gameplay
- Can I put more than one die from the same roll on the same Bomb Card?
- In a 2-player game, must each player take two dice?
- In a solo game, do I have to use all three dice, and can I leave a placeable die unused?
- How many dice are drawn and rolled each round?
- If a player has no Bomb Cards left, how many dice are rolled?
- Who rolls the dice, and when does the bag get passed?
- What if I draw too many or too few dice from the bag, or the bag runs out?
- Can I move or rearrange dice after placing them on a Bomb Card?
- Can I place a die so a bomb can never be completed, hoping an unused die knocks it off?

Bomb Cards and Icons
- Once a die covers a symbol on a Bomb Card, do I still have to satisfy it?
- Does the not-equal colour symbol apply only to neighbouring dice?
- Does a card reading colour AND number = colour AND number need dice matching in both?
- How does a card reading any + any = any + any work?
- On a three-dice card with a smaller middle space, does a die go in the middle?
Unused Dice
- When several dice are unused, are they rolled together or one at a time?
- After rerolling an unused die, does it go back in the bag or do I reroll until it fits?
- Are dice under other dice in a stack or pyramid safe from unused dice and Fuse cards?
- When an unused die is rerolled, does every player lose a matching die?
- In a solo game, does a rerolled unused die remove dice from only one bomb card?
- Can I reroll an unused die before the other dice are placed?
- In solo Insane play, what happens to dice I cannot place?
