A bluffing game with the simplest possible rule sheet — each player gets three rose cards and one skull, plays a card face-down, and at any point can challenge to flip a chosen number of cards from the stacks without hitting a skull. It plays in twenty minutes, the table tension is immediate, and unlike most party games it works just as well with three players as with six.
