You're Bluffing!

Players take turns auctioning off the top card from a deck of animal sets or initiating blind trades with another player. Each animal appears in four copies and players aim to collect complete sets by winning auctions or by swapping animals through blind, simultaneous bids. Auctions use open bidding; the highest bidder wins but the auctioneer may instead purchase the animal at the winning bid. Trades are resolved by both players placing bids face down, revealing simultaneously, then exchanging the animal cards and paying the amounts shown. Strategy revolves around judging opponents’ intentions and calibrating bids to complete sets while managing currency.

    Lighthearted but can get very tense and 'psychological'. Great game to take along on a trip due to it's compact size.
