Bombs Away is a simple game of magnetic planes that drop ball bearing bombs on targets. The aim of the game is to pick up metal ball bearings from the side of the board with your "magnet" plane, then try to fly the plane across the plastic covering — with the plane on top of the plastic and the ball hanging below it — and aim to drop the bomb onto one of the targets below. Each target gives a different score, and the player with the highest score wins.
