Pure bluffing with four mats each — three roses and one skull. Claim how many you can turn without finding the skull, then make good on it. 3 to 6 people, about 15 minutes.
Two minutes a round and not one word of text in the whole game. It is the shortest real game on the shelf and the only pure bluff we have, which makes it the thing to put on when there are fifteen minutes and nobody wants to learn anything.
It is entirely language-free, so a table of four nationalities plays it on exactly equal terms. What it asks for instead is nerve, and it is very good at finding out who at your table has it.
