Kakerlakenpoker Royal

Now there are crowned insects, too!

This is a version of Kakerlakenpoker, some of the cards are now marked with a crown: Seven cards are laid out as a face-down penalty stack, the top card is turned up. All other cards are evenly distributed to all players. In your turn you choose one card from your and and put it face-down in front of another player and name the insect that is pictured on the card or say „royal“ if it is an insect with a crown. You may lie!

If you are presented with a card and can decide to take it or hand it on. If you want to take it you say “right” or “wrong” thereby stating your belief or disbelief in the announcement of the previous player, before picking up the card. When your statement was correct, that is, the card is really showing the insect named or you doubted correctly, the first player takes back the card, otherwise you keep it. If you want to pass on the card you can secretly look at it and must then confirm the statement of the first player or name another insect or say “royal”. When the card is passed on until it reaches the last player, he must take it.

If you have to take a royal card you must also take the open card from the penalty stack. There are two cards with special effects - one is always correct unless so say royal”, the other is always wrong - for which there are special rules when accepting them.

When you have four identical cards or must go out and have no card left, you lose and all others win together.

Even when featuring crowned cockroaches and other creepy-crawlies this is an attractive bluff game, quickly played, a nice filler and nice for beginners.
