Skull - Place, Bid, Bluff [Board Game]

Get ready to bluff, bid, and laugh your way to victory with Skull—where every flip is a gamble, and every game is a test of wits!

Dive into the thrilling world of Skull, the ultimate bluffing game that combines deception, strategy, and high-stakes fun! Designed by Hervé Marly and published by Space Cowboys, this award-winning game (2011 As d'Or - Jeu de l'Année Winner) is perfect for 3-6 players aged 10 and up, delivering 15-45 minutes of intense, laughter-filled gameplay.

In Skull, each player holds four discs: three vibrant flowers and one menacing skull. The challenge? Outsmart your opponents by bluffing and bidding on how many flower discs you can reveal without uncovering a skull. Each turn, players place a disc face-down or raise the stakes by launching a challenge. The highest bidder must flip the declared number of discs, starting with their own. Reveal only flowers, and you score a point—two points win the game. But uncover a skull, and you lose a disc, bringing you closer to elimination.

With its simple rules, stunning artwork featuring ornate skulls and elegant roses, and portable design, Skull is ideal for game nights, parties, or casual gatherings. The game’s compact coasters are beautifully crafted, adding a tactile and visual charm that elevates every round. Whether you’re a casual player or a seasoned strategist, Skull offers endless replayability with its blend of poker-face bluffing, risk-taking, and mind games.

Skull & Roses Red and Skull Silver editions introduce alternate themes and rules, like controlling two biker gangs or vibrant cultural designs, and sets can be combined for games with more than six players. Easy to learn yet dangerously difficult to master, Skull is a must-have for anyone who loves quick, tense, and unforgettable gaming experiences.
