Do you have what it takes to bluff? Or recognise when others are? Test your skills in SHAM the quickfire bluffing game.

In SHAM, players must put a card forward, calling out its value and colour to the group. The rest of the players must then follow the same pattern for the whole round – but there’s a catch. Not every player will be truthful about what’s on their card, and it’s up to the rest of the players to expose them.

If you suspect a player of bluffing, call “SHAM!” That player must then reveal their cards to the rest of the group. If they were telling the truth, the accuser is locked out of the current round. If they were caught bluffing, the accuser gets the winning cards.

Wild Cards will keep things interesting, giving players unique powers for that round – making it easier for themselves, or harder for other players to win. The game ends when there’s no cards left on the pile and only one player has cards left in their hand. The player with the highest quantity of cards wins!
