If two players want to bomb at the same time, who goes first?

The rulebook FAQ gives the order-of-play tiebreak; forum players describe a competing first-to-call convention.

The rulebook's FAQ says the situation is rare and gives this tiebreak: bombs go before ordinary plays, and multiple bombs are resolved in order of play, starting with the player next after the last non-bomb play. Many groups instead give the player who calls first priority; neither is a hard rule, so agree on one beforehand. Equal bombs cannot beat each other.
