Description:
Cockroach Poker card game is a bluffing-focused card game where players try to trick each other into collecting sets of unwanted critters like cockroaches, rats, and stink bugs. Each turn, a player passes a face-down card to someone else while claiming what type of critter it is. The receiving player can either accept the card and guess whether the claim is true or false, or secretly look at it and pass it along with the same or a new claim. If a player guesses incorrectly, they must keep the card face up in front of them. The goal is to avoid being the player who ends up with four of the same critter—or runs out of cards—since that player loses while everyone else wins.
