Card Game · Bluffing

Bluff

Outwit three computer opponents in a fast social card game. Play cards face down, make a claim, and decide whether the previous player is honest or bluffing.

Overview

Bluff is a fast, social card game of claims and lies for four players, played with a single deck — a streamlined version of the classic Cheat. You play cards face down while claiming a rank, and the claimed ranks advance around the table; when you suspect the last player lied, you tap Call Bluff to expose them. Guess right and they take the pile; guess wrong and you do. The first player to empty their hand wins.

About the game

Bluff is a four-player shedding game played with a standard 52-card deck. Your goal is to become the first player to get rid of every card in your hand.

How to play

Select one or more cards and play them face down.
Your play claims that every submitted card matches the current rank.
You may tell the truth or bluff about the cards you placed.
Pass when you do not want to play, or call bluff on the previous claim.
Empty your hand before the other three players to win.

Calling bluff

Call Bluff when you believe the previous player lied. Their most recent face-down cards are revealed.

If the claim was false, the player who lied takes the entire pile.
If the claim was true, the player who called incorrectly takes the pile.

Tips and strategy

Track how many cards of the current rank have already appeared.
Small believable bluffs are often safer than playing many cards.
Notice when an opponent suddenly changes their playing pattern.
Do not call every suspicious claim—the penalty can refill your hand.
