Flunkern

This bluffing card game has players shed vegetable cards by truthfully or falsely claiming to match the current kind. Challenging a claim makes someone draw cards, while action cards alter direction, targets, and pressure as hands shrink.

Here is a description of the game from Erwin Broens of Bordspel.com: A card game for 3 –6 players. The game contains 86 numbered vegetable cards (6 sorts) and 24 action cards. Each player starts with 8 random vegetable cards and a identical set of 4 different action cards. The first player announces the current vegetable (for example “carrot”) and plays one of his cards face down (which doesn’t need to be a carrot!). The next player has two options. He can play a face down card and announce the current vegetable (he says “carrot”, but also doesn’t need to play one). Or he can doubt the card of the previous player. In the latter case he looks at the previous card. If the previous player has lied (he did not play a “carrot”), that player has to draw a number of cards. If the previous player did not lie, the doubting player has to draw the cards. It is possible to play an action card in stead of a vegetable card. With an action card you can change the direction of the game, change the current vegetable or force a player to draw extra cards. The game ends when a player has emptied his hand or when the draw pile is exhausted for the second time. Remaining hand cards are penalty points. The player with the fewest points wins the game
