Bluffaneer (2021)

About this game

Yarrr! Grab your most trusted crew and sail out to the high seas with Big G Creative’s newest release, Bluffaneer! This adventurous new dice game sets mates against each other as players try to pilfer pirate treasure and bluff their way to the largest stack of gold. Bluffaneer is a game for sea dogs of all ages, whether it’s a family game session or you’re switching up poker night to work on your bluffing skills. To play, players roll bone-shaped dice and bluff to steal coins from fellow mates, aiming to collect the most treasure in each round. But beware, mateys! You may have to cough up your gold coins if another clever pirate catches you in the bluff. One game of Bluffaneer only takes about 15 minutes, so three to six pirates ages 10+ can enjoy a quick and rowdy romp or keep the pirate-themed fun going with multiple games to determine who is truly the craftiest Bluffaneer of all. —description from the publisher

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 3 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
