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.
