Cockroach Poker Royal

Players bluff and pass face-down creature cards—cockroaches, rats, stink bugs and new royal variants—while accusing or challenging others' claims. On a turn a player selects a card, slides it to another player and names a critter; the receiver either accepts, calling the claim true or false and revealing the card, or peeks and passes it on (possibly changing the claim). If a revealed call is wrong, the caller or callee keeps the card face-up in front of them; cards accumulate on players' tables as penalties. The game ends when a player runs out of cards on their turn or collects four of the same creature, and that player loses. New royal cards add extra actions and bluffing twists.

    Fun Card Party Game. Nothing to do with poker but yes with bluffing. You have to trick all your opponents all the way. Always a pleasure.
