Coyote
A bluffing card game where you wear your number on your forehead and everyone else can see exactly what you cannot.
Who it's for
Loud, laughing groups who want a five-minute-to-learn filler that gets funnier the more people pile on.
Not for you if…
Mental math under pressure stresses you out, since every round is basically live arithmetic with an audience.
Vibe's take
loud, quick, chaotic, competitive, sneaky

About this game
Coyote hands you a card, presses it to your forehead, and never lets you see it, even as everyone else reads it like a menu. The table's job is to guess the total value of every visible card and either raise the bid or shout Coyote to challenge it, all while you are doing math on numbers you cannot see and expressions you cannot fully trust. Special cards twist the count in sneaky ways, so the running total is never quite what simple addition suggests. Fast, loud and a little cruel, it is the kind of filler that turns a dinner table into a bluffing pit in under a minute.
