What to Expect
Players simultaneously play cards face down and then take turns claiming open scoring cards or challenging others who have claimed them. Challenges resolve by secretly comparing the played strength cards; the higher card wins and ties favor the challenger. Rounds are quick and tense, lasting ten rounds plus a final resolution round where score piles are used to play the last cards.
Who Is This Game For?
For 2–6 players aged 8+, Bluffit is suitable for families and party groups who enjoy social deduction and bluffing. The rules are light, and the short 15-minute playtime makes it accessible for casual game nights or filler sessions.
How It Works
Each round all players pick a card and place it face down (Simultaneous Action Selection). In turn order, players either claim one of the visible scoring cards or challenge a claimant (Betting and Bluffing). In a challenge the two players reveal and compare their strength cards; the higher card wins, ties go to the challenger. Unclaimed scoring cards are discarded and claimed cards go to players' score piles; the played cards become the next round's scoring cards.
What Makes It Special
Designed by Mads Emil Christensen, Bluffit emphasizes direct player interaction through challenges and simultaneous play. The game is compact (about 15 minutes) and includes optional special cards that change comparison rules, increasing variety across plays.

Setting & atmosphere
Bluffit is abstract: it centers on numerical card values and competition for open scoring cards rather than a narrative setting.
