About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for some hearty laughs and to prove you're the best farmyard bluffer with 'You're Bluffing!'. This classic auction and trading game plunges you into the lively world of farm animals and, of course, a bit of cash. The goal is straightforward: collect the highest value in animal sets. To achieve this, you can either bid on animal cards that come up for auction or try to complete your sets by trading with other players. But beware! The highest bid doesn't always guarantee victory, and the auctioneer has the final say. The trades are a spectacle in themselves: blind bets of money, where the higher bidder takes the other's card, but the money disappears in the process. It's pure tension and fun trying to guess how much the other person bet! Also, keep an eye out for donkeys, as they bring a cash bonus that heats up the game. With rules blending memory, hand management, and a good dose of audacity, 'You're Bluffing!' is perfect for those who enjoy a light, fast-paced game full of interaction, where smooth talking and the ability to read your opponents are worth gold (or at least, a good handful of cash). It's ideal for livening up any gathering with friends and family, ensuring laughter and that fierce competition until the last cent.
