HOW TO PLAY BLUFF
A good hand.
A better story.
Play Bluff, a free card game for 3–6 players. Learn with guided practice, choose three bot levels, invite friends and track your record. No sign-up.
Play your cards
Choose one to three cards at a three-seat table, or one to four cards with four to six seats, and play them face down. Claim they match the current rank. You can tell the truth, or try your luck.
Read the room
The next player can challenge your claim or pass and play. If someone challenges, only your last play is revealed.
Take the risk
A caught bluff means you take the entire pile. If your cards were truthful, the challenger takes it instead.
Clear your hand
Get rid of all your cards and survive the final challenge to win. Friends stay at the same table for the next round.
Bluff questions,
answered.
How do I learn the game?
Choose Learn with practice for five guided scenes about selection, bluffing, challenges, collecting the pile and the final winning decision. There is no timer, you can skip or repeat the lesson, and lessons do not count towards your record.
Are my wins saved?
Your record is saved by the server and grouped by mode, seats and bot difficulty. The same guest token restores your record on this device after a server restart. Clearing browser storage loses that guest access; use Your record to clear the saved history itself. Guided lessons and aborted matches do not add wins or losses.
Can I play on my own?
Yes. Quick Play defaults to you and three clearly labelled bots. Table options let you choose 3–6 seats and easy, normal or hard bots. Online games need an internet connection; the optional guided lesson runs locally after loading.
How do I invite friends?
Choose Play with Friends, then share your room link. Choose 3–6 seats; the host can fill empty seats with bots. Everyone gets ready again if the host changes the table settings.
Do I need an account?
No account or download is needed on this website. A guest session lets you return to your seat on the same device.
Can I play on my phone?
Yes. Tap a card to select it, then use the play or challenge buttons. Turn on sound from the game toolbar if you like.
What happens if I disconnect?
The game tries to restore your seat. Rooms live in server memory, so a server restart ends the current match without declaring a winner.
How many cards does each player get?
Every player starts with 13 cards. Three seats use 39 cards, four use a standard 52-card deck, five use 65 cards and six use 78 cards. Each rank has as many cards as the table has seats. Expanded decks may repeat a suit; suits do not affect truth. Three-seat tables allow 1–3 cards per turn; other tables allow 1–4. There are no jokers.
Who can challenge, and which cards are revealed?
Only the next player clockwise can challenge. A challenge reveals only the most recent play. If any revealed card does not match the claimed rank, the player who played it takes the whole pile. Otherwise, the challenger takes the pile.
When does the called rank change?
The game chooses a random starting rank. It changes to a different random rank after a challenge is resolved or after one full lap of consecutive passes: 3, 4, 5 or 6 passes for that many seats. It does not automatically follow A, 2, 3 through K.
How much time do I have for a turn?
You have 15 seconds to play and 4 seconds to challenge or pass. If time runs out, the game makes a legal play for you or passes the challenge. A match has a 20-minute limit; reaching that limit ends it without a winner.
