In Bluffer, the game leader reads a question and all players simultaneously provide an answer. All answers, including the correct one from the question card, are shuffled and revealed. Players then vote on which answer they believe is correct while trying to convince others to pick their false answer. This creates a fast-paced game of deception and discussion.
Who Is This Game For?
Bluffer is designed for 2 to 10 players aged 12 and up, perfect for groups looking for a quick party game. With a playtime of about 20 minutes, it suits casual gamers and families with older children, requiring no special experience.
How It Works
The game leader asks a question, players simultaneously select and submit their answers (Simultaneous Action Selection). The leader shuffles these answers with the correct one and presents them. Players then judge (Player Judge) which answer they believe is right by voting, aiming to sway others to vote for their bluff.
What Makes It Special
Designed by Gilles Monnet in 1993, Bluffer mixes Player Judge and Simultaneous Action Selection mechanics in a concise party format. Without being part of a larger series or having awards, its unique blend of bluffing and trivia stands out among party games.
