Skull & Roses

The Biker Game

Why biker game? No idea! Because of the skulls, maybe? Anyway, it is a simple bluff game that asks you for a lot of nerves and no less bluff!

Each player has four coasters (Biker?!), no, cards, front side with a gang motive, backside three times a rose, one time a skull, and a playing mat, skull side up. Aim of the game is to win two challenges. In turn, players choose one of their cards and place them face-down on their mat. When all have placed a card they can in turn again place a card or challenge the others. If you challenge you name a number of cards that you will turn up from all cards on the table without turning up a skull. The other players in turn must either raise this bid or pass. The last player to raise the bid must now turn up the corresponding number of cards, starting with his own stack, from top to bottom, all cards. He need not turn up all cards in other players’ stacks. If you win the challenge you turn your playing mat to the rose side and begin the next round, if you win a second challenge you win the game. If you lose, you must discard one of your cards face down and the owner of the skull you turned up starts the next round. If you are out of cards you drop out of the game.

Skull & Roses is a simple game, very tactical for three players, and a pure bluff and guessing game for six players, if you use two games more than six can play and bluff. Nail-bitingly challenging, psychologically interesting and very dangerous if you raise the bid for to strengthen your bluff! You could end up with the highest bid and have to turn up the skull you placed for bluffing!
