Frequently asked questions

How does Bluff Master work?

Every player gets a secret card numbered 1 to 10. On your turn you claim any value for your card, honestly or not. The other players each vote to believe you or call your bluff, then the card is revealed.

What is the best strategy?

Stay unpredictable. If you always bluff you always get called, and if you are always honest you score nothing. Sometimes telling the plain truth is the strongest bluff at the table.

How do points work?

Fooling a voter with a lie earns you 2 points per fooled voter. Correctly calling a bluff earns the caller 2 points. Being wrongly accused when honest earns you 1 point per accuser.

How long does a game take?

Around 15 minutes. Every player takes exactly one turn as the claimer, so the length scales with your group size, then the final leaderboard settles it.

Is this the same as the card game BS or Cheat?

It shares the spirit of claiming and calling bluffs but uses a simpler one-card format built for quick rounds. No deck management, just one claim, one vote, one reveal per turn.
