About the game
BLUFFIT is a simple and tense bluffing game in which players compete to score the most points. All players start with a hand of cards numbered 1–10. To set up, reveal random cards equal to the number of players from a separate set of 1–10 cards. All players simultaneously play a card from their hand face down. Then, in turn, players either claim one of the available scoring cards or challenge another player who has already claimed one. In a challenge, both players secretly compare strength cards, with the higher card winning the scoring card (in a tie, the challenging player wins). Once all players have acted, remove any unclaimed scoring cards from the table. Claimed scoring cards are placed in each player’s score pile. The played strength cards are then shuffled and revealed to form the new set of scoring cards for the next round. After ten rounds, players complete one final round using the cards last played by selecting a card from their score pile. Those played cards are removed from the game, claimed cards are added to score piles, and the player with the highest total wins. BLUFFIT includes four optional special cards per player, such as "The Optimistic 1" (which beats a 10 in a challenge) and "The Flipped 5" (which beats 6-10, but loses to 1-4). To use them, replace the regular number in each player's hand with the special card.

Questions and answers
Bluffit supports 2–6 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Bluffit is 10–15 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Bluffit for ages 8 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Bluffit has a complexity rating of 1.3 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
