HeidelBR Games Spicy Strategy Card Game | Bluffing Game for Adults & Kids | Family Game Night Fun | Ages 10+ | 2-6 Players | 15 Min Playtime

Good quality cards that is unlikely to bend or break. A fun family game of luck and bluffing.

Even though we prefer games like Castles of Mad King Ludwig, Everdell, Wingspan, Nidavellir, Grand Austria Hotel, and Cosmic Encounter, everyone needs some games that are lighter and quicker as a warm up or to just play when there are 15-30 minutes available. This game is quite fun and fits that need extremely well. The artwork is beautiful and cracks us up! Our only minor quibble is that chili peppers and pepper are two of the three spices and it took a bit to be sure to say "chili" instead of "pepper" when playing the chili cards! That minor quibble aside, this is a keeper and will be in our rotation for a long time!

We have kept an eye on this game for a while after playing it with some of our friends. I would highly recommend it for under $20 dollars. It takes a moment to understand the game but after you get it you'll want to play more. Its a great casual game to bust out with friends. It takes some strategy and bluffing so I would not recommend it for kids but who knows maybe kids would like it.

Love this game! Creative and complex while being fun

This is one of those games that ends up causing laughs around the table because you have to try to guess when someone is lying. It's pretty quick to learn, and perfect for those folks who are stubborn about learning a new game because they don't want to put in the effort (cough cough my parents). Still fun for two people, but better with more. Nice size for travel as well.

UNO meets bluffing! Fantastic!

I’ve recently been bringing this game as a warm up for my table top group. It keeps the table engaged, hysterics are common. The directions are straight forward, and this game is really light so it can be learned in 15 minutes easily.As for the gameplay itself, players need to play cards of a suit, or “spice”, face down while declaring its suit and number. The next player needs to play a card of the same suit that beats the previous card. The catch is you can lie and play anything. To score points, players can challenge the other players move. They can challenge either the number or the suit but not both. The challenger wins if the quality they challenged, suit or number, is incorrect. It is possible a player lied about the card they played but still won a challenged because the challenger called the wrong quality. For example, a player claims to play a “9 pepper” but plays a 5 pepper, the challenger says, “not pepper” the card is revealed and the challenger looses in this case because they challenged suit and the suit was correct. The winner of the challenge gets the played stack as points while the looser must draw cards, and the next player starts a new stack. Players can score extra points by running out their hand and claiming a bonus point card. Once one Player has 2 bonus point cards, all 3 bonus point cards are taken, or the end of game card is revealed from the deck, the game is over. Important note: any cards left in your hand at the end of the game are negative points.As for the quality of production, the art work is fantastic, and the cards themselves are decent quality, if a bit stiff. I think the card stiffness is my one real complaint here. I could see the cards getting damaged more readily because of this.All in all, if you are looking for something light, or are looking for a safe gift for the table top gamer in your life, this is a good choice. Definitely recommend.

Great bluffing card game. Fun player interaction.
