deleted unclear point
[edit]I deleted something i didn't understand, the point wasn't clear and i couldn't check what it was referring to (paywall link):
- It was originally invented by an Australian - Jon Kitching. Lawsuit pending..[1]

Designer
[edit]This page asserts the designer to be Jon Kitching. The only other page I can find on the internet that mentions that name alongside Pass the Bomb is this 2019 issue of Spielspaß: https://spielwiese.at/downloads/SWATJahrbuch2019.1.2.pdf
In the article, it says this:
Wer Erfinder des Spiels ist, ist nicht eindeutig zu benennen. In verschiedenen Quellen wird Pass the Bomb, was der englische Name ist, Jon Kitching zugeschrieben, in anderen Sylvie Barc, Roger Heyworth und Jean-Charles Rodriguez, bei Piatnik wird Los Rodriguez angeführt.
Which according to Google Translate, translates to something like
The inventor of the game is not definitively known. Various sources attribute Pass the Bomb (its English name) to Jon Kitching, others to Sylvie Barc, Roger Heyworth, and Jean-Charles Rodriguez, while Piatnik lists Los Rodriguez.
According to earlier edits, there was a court case, but I can now find no remnant of this online. JorWat (talk) 14:17, 11 June 2026 (UTC)
