Product Information
Cockroach Poker is an exciting reverse set collection card game. It's all about bluffing, just like poker, but with a fun twist! Instead of queens, 10s, and aces, the cards feature cockroaches, rats, and stink bugs. The goal is to make another player collect 4 of any one type of critter. The deck has 64 cards, with eight copies of eight critter types. To start, shuffle the deck and deal the cards to players. On your turn, take a card from your hand, place it face - down on the table, slide it to a chosen player, and declare a critter type, like 'Stink bug'. The receiving player can either accept the card, guess 'true' or 'false', then reveal it. If wrong, they keep the card face - up in front of them; if right, the giver places it face - up before themselves. Or they can peek at the card and pass it face - down to another player, either keeping the original critter type or changing it. The game ends when a player has no cards to pass or has four matching critter cards in front of them. That player loses, and everyone else wins. Suitable for ages 8 and up, 2 - 6 players, and takes 15 - 25 minutes to play!
To use Cockroach Poker, first, make sure all the 64 cards are shuffled well. Then deal them out to the 2 - 6 players. On your turn, pick a card from your hand, put it face - down on the table, and slide it to another player. Say a type of critter. The other player can either take a guess about the card or peek and pass it on. When you're guessing, be careful because if you're wrong, you'll have to keep the card. The game will end when someone has no cards to pass or has four of the same critter. Remember, this game is for players aged 8 and up. After playing, store the cards in a dry place to keep them in good condition. Try to keep the cards clean and avoid bending them to make sure they last a long time.
