Cockroach Poker – Can You Spot a Lie in a Cockroach's Eyes? 🪳🃏

Rats, bats, stink bugs and toads – nobody wants them, so you pass them on with a straight face. Cockroach Poker (Kakerlakenpoker) by Jacques Zeimet, published by Drei Magier Spiele, is a bluffing card game for 2 to 6 players aged 8 and up.

Pass a card face down to another player and say which creature it is – truthfully or not. The receiver either says »true« or »false«, or secretly looks at the card and passes it on to someone who has not seen it yet. Whoever judges wrongly takes the card face up. Collect four of the same creature and you lose – everyone else wins.

🐀 Eight Critters

Rat, scorpion, cockroach, stink bug, bat, spider, fly and toad.

🤥 True or False?

Believe the claim – or call the bluff.

🔄 Pass It On

Peek and send the card to someone else.

😬 Four of a Kind

Collect four of one critter and the game is over for you.
