2018 / Deduction/bluffing card game / 2-4 players
****
The kind of weird game you only end up with when it's included in a cheap bundle with another one you actually wanted, I thought the quickfire deduction and bluffing would be too much of a step up from Love Letter for the six year old, but I asked if we could try it out once before I sold it on. Then she wanted to keep playing all night.
She might not have grasped every mathematical variable, but it's not like my efforts to track cards and probabilities fare much better. You just don't know what's in the pot, especially when a cheeky child sneaks in the man and other cards you're not supposed to. A surprise but welcome keeper, real stew was also more of a success than sushi.
