We created Bluff of the Bunch™ one night at home with family, and it quickly became a tradition of laughter and bluffing we knew others would love too.
⭐ How to Play Bluff of the Bunch™
1. Setup
-
Shuffle 1 Bluffer card together with Category cards.
Use one fewer Category card than players.
Example: 6 players = 1 Bluffer + 5 Category cards. -
Sort the Category cards by color (Blue, Orange, Green, Red, etc.).
-
Place all cards face down.
2. Start the Round
-
Every player calls out a number from 1 to 28.
-
Reveal a Number Card.
-
If someone guessed the number exactly, they go last this round.
-
The closest guess goes first, chooses a color, and that revealed number becomes the category word for the round.
3. Play the Round
Clockwise around the table:
-
Each player says one unique word that fits the chosen category.
-
The Bluffer does not know the category word and must bluff with a made-up answer.
-
Expect hilarious guesses, unexpected answers, and lots of laughs.
4. Vote
After everyone gives their word:
-
Players point to who they think is the Bluffer.
-
Before voting, bluffing, convincing, and arguing are all encouraged.
If one player receives the most votes:
-
They reveal their card.
-
If they ARE the Bluffer → The round ends.
-
If they are NOT the Bluffer →
They’re out of giving answers but still vote.
Play continues with the remaining players giving new words in turn.
If there is no majority:
-
No one reveals.
-
Everyone gives a new word, and play continues.
5. Winning the Round
-
If the Bluffer is found → The Bunch wins.
-
If the Bluffer survives → The Bluffer wins.
Once the Bluffer is revealed:
-
Shuffle the cards
-
Reset the table
-
Pick a new Category color
-
Draw a new Number Card
-
Deal a new Bluffer
Then begin the next round!
