Bluff / Cheat

A hidden-card table game where players shed cards by making rank claims and opponents decide whether to challenge.

Goal

Be the first player to empty your hand after your final claim survives the challenge window.

Turn Flow

  • The current player plays hidden cards up to the room's claim limit and claims a rank.
  • By default, the next player may accept or challenge the claim.
  • If any-player challenges are enabled, any active non-claimant may challenge while the next player remains the only player who can accept.
  • If accepted, play continues with the next player.
  • If challenged, the pile is revealed and the wrong player picks it up.

Legal Moves

  • PLAY_CLAIM with 1 card up to the configured max claim size from your hand and any standard rank claim.
  • ACCEPT when you are the next player in the challenge window.
  • CHALLENGE when the room's challenge mode allows you to challenge.

Winning

A player wins when they have no cards after their last-card claim is accepted, or after a challenge confirms the claim.

Current MVP Limitations

  • No scoring across rounds yet.
  • Live house rules cover max claim size, starting player, and challenge mode.
