A folksy betting game where digging one coal too many hands the devil everything you collected.
Who it's for
Families and casual groups who enjoy betting and bluffing games with just enough tension to keep everyone leaning in.
Not for you ifβ¦
You dislike luck-heavy betting mechanics, because the coal oven cares nothing for your careful planning.
Vibe's take
tense, gambling, light-hearted, social, nerve-wracking
Auf Teufel komm raus turns coal mining into a nerve-wracking betting game: each round, players wager on how much coal one daring miner can pull from the devil's own oven before uncovering his grinning face. That miner keeps digging and stacking value as long as their nerve holds, but the second a devil tile turns up, everything they collected that round vanishes. Bet too low and you miss out, bet too high and you lose your stake, but the sharpest bettor doubles their money. A player stuck in last place even gets to strike a devious pact with the devil himself. Pure tension dressed up as a chuckling folk tale.
