Pass disgusting bug cards and lie about them — pure bluffing comedy.
Vibe's take
Silly, psychological, laugh-out-loud fun.
Who it's for
Any group wanting a hilarious, minimal bluffing game that needs no setup and zero rules overhead.
Not for you if…
You want strategic depth or dislike bluffing-heavy games.
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.
