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:

  1. Shuffle the cards

  2. Reset the table

  3. Pick a new Category color

  4. Draw a new Number Card

  5. Deal a new Bluffer

Then begin the next round!
