Play Bluff Card Game Online on Mela App

Bluff is a card game where the players are required to get rid of all their cards before their opponents. It is also known as Cheat or I Doubt it due to the nature of the game. It is a game of deceit, where the cards are played face down and the players being allowed to bluff about the cards they have played.

A challenge is made by the players calling out the name of the game (Bluff), and the player who loses the game has to collect all the cards played till then. Bluff was often played as a party game. Similar to the other card games in history, Bluff has an oral tradition and hence people are taught the game under multiple names.

Let us see some of these examples which can help us understand the history of Bluff better. A popular British version of the game enables a player to pass their turn if they don’t want to lie or if all the cards of the said rank have obviously been played before.

Some versions of the game enable a rank above or below the previous rank to be called. While some other game versions allow the current rank to be constant or go down through the ranks and not go up. It is reported that some versions allow only one card to get rid of during a turn.

Now, there are some versions where a player may bluff about the number of cards they are playing. This happens when they are confident that other opponents will fail to notice the discrepancy. In some parts of the world, Bluff is played where all the cards are revealed after the challenge, offering information about which players made a bluff.
