Dtc

A bluffing card game where players make offers of claimed matching cards and try to finish with the fewest cards. Rivals can accept or challenge each offer, and a failed bluff shifts the unwanted cards into a growing penalty stack.

Read the full game description

The goal of the game is to take the least amount of cards. On your turn, you look at your hand of six cards and you choose and say as many cards as you want of one number (truthful or not!) and you place them facedown in front of the player to your left (and then you draw back up to 6 cards). That player now has two options: to accept your offer or to call you on your bluff and reject your offer. 1. Accept: If they choose to accept your offer, they add the facedown cards to their hand. It's now their turn and they must now bid higher (meaning, more cards or the same number of cards of a higher number). 2. Reject: If they choose to reject your offer, the offered cards are revealed and if the cards match the active player's offer, the offered player must add the cards to their stack of facedown cards in front of them. If the cards don't match, then the active player must place the cards in the facedown stack in front of them, instead. Either way, the offered player becomes the new active player and they must make an offer to the player to their left. The game continues until the deck is exhausted and one last bluff is called. Players now add any remaining cards in their hand to the stack in front of them and the player with the least amount of cards wins!
