About the game

What you do in a play session

Get your appetite ready for some culinary chaos! In Kakerlakensuppe, players race to empty their hands by adding ingredients to a communal soup pot. You'll be playing cards like peppers, carrots, and mushrooms, announcing them as you go. But here's the catch: honesty isn't always the best policy! If you play a card that matches the previous one, or if you need to follow a specific-pattern, you might have to lie through your teeth.

The tension hits a whole new level when the 'taboo'-cockroach cards show up. If you hit one of these-uninvited guests-you have to make a loud-and-proud-slurping sound! If you stumble, hesitate, or get caught in a lie, you'll have to scoop up the entire discard pile and start a new soup-making session. It's a fast-paced game of bluffing, pattern recognition, and quick reflexes. Perfect for groups looking for a hilarious party game where the main goal is to see who can keep a straight face while pretending a cockroach is a delicious-looking-ingredient. If you enjoy high-energy-social games with minimal rules and maximum laughter, this-cockroach-filled soup is for you!
