Vibe's take

Silly, psychological, laugh-out-loud fun.

About this game

Pass a face-down card claiming it's a fly, stink bug, or cockroach — and make your opponent accept your claim or call your bluff. The loser collects four matching cards and loses. Cockroach Poker is pure psychological theatre: no points, no resources, just the hilarious art of the bluff. Perfect for any crowd.
