Cockroach Poker English Edition

What is Cockroach Poker, and does it even have anything to do with traditional Poker?

Well no, not really. Aside from the fact that Cockroach Poker is a game of extreme bluffing - like poker - it couldn't be more different. The cards used in the game are not queens, 10s or aces, but instead they are stunk bugs, cockroaches (of course) and rats.

What is the point of the game?

he main goal is for a player to collect 4 of any one critter - this equates to an instant loss!

Inside the deck you have a set of 64 cards. There are 8 copies of each critter inside the deck, shuffled and shared out between the players.

What happens on my turn?

When it is your turn to play, you will take one card from your hand of cards, and lay it face down on the table. You will then slide your card over to a player of your choice - who do you want to sabotage? You will declare the type of critter which you have sent their way and, before the other player turns the card over, they have the chance to decide whether they think what you're is saying is true or false. They will accept the card and turn it over. If they were incorrect in their decision, they will have to keep their card in front of their deck, facing upwards. If they were correct, you will have to have it face up in front of your deck.

The game ends when a player has no cards to pass, or when a player has four cards of the same critter on the table.
