Skull (Multilingual)

Skull Silver, a game of offbeat bluff

This bluff game, with its colourful universe, is the restyled version of the Skull and Roses game. Its author, Hervé Marly, changed the theme by replacing the imagery of motorcycle gangs with that of peoples. The illustrations of this new cutting are particularly careful. The principle of the game remains the same. Players must win two challenges to hope to win the game. To do this, bluff, bid, and above all, don't fall on your skull!

Skull Silver, a well-tried mechanical game

Each participant has a mat (with a coloured and a shiny side), 3 flower discs and 1 Skull disc.

At the beginning of the game, the players place the mat face up in front of them and place one of their 4 disks face down on it. The bluff can then begin! The first player has two possible actions: either he puts a second disc or he challenges.

If he places a second card, the other players must do the same until a player challenges his classmates by announcing the number of flowers on the table.

Once the challenge is launched, the other players can then bid higher or pass their turn. The last to bid becomes the challenger. He must then turn the discs over one by one, starting with his own.

If a skull and crossbones appears, his challenge is lost. He then loses one of his cards, randomly drawn from his hand by the opponent whose Skull he flipped. When a player has no more cards, he leaves the game.

If he returns the number of flowers announced in his bet, he wins his challenge. He then turns his carpet over, a sign that he only has one challenge left to win to win the game.

The game continues until a player wins two challenges.
