Quick, Easy, Fun!

Average rating of 5 out of 5 stars

Great social deduction game that plays quick! We usually do several rounds just because it’s so easy from set up to play. The rules aren’t complex so it’s simple to teach to new people.

The Reckoning

Average rating of 5 out of 5 stars

The gap divides the citizens. The bureaucratic parliament struggles to quell the insurgents. You are funded by a wealthy benefactor, an assassin, or maybe something else entirely. This hidden roll game takes simplicity and direct action to the next level by making everyone lie right out of the gate. Recommended for large play groups and close friends. Great game

Simple, quick game of deception.

Average rating of 4 out of 5 stars

In coup you have two cards that each allow certain actions based on what card it is. Players take turns trying to expose the other players' cards until only one has one or more cards remaining unexposed. It is a game of bluffing. If you bluff and are challenged, then one of your cards is exposed. If you challenge and it was not a bluff, then the challenger must lose/expose one of their cards. Gameplay is simple and games between two last less than 10 minutes. I have not played it with more than 2 but I suspect that would actually be more interesting since the deception would be harder (and the game would probably take up to 15 minutes.) With only 2 people a lot can depend upon what cards you get and any mistake is usually the only you get to make.

Great game - best played with first expansion

Average rating of 5 out of 5 stars

Love this game, but best played with the first expansion as it allows for a higher player count without losing the simple way to pick it up for any crowd of players.

Great micro game

Average rating of 5 out of 5 stars

You can learn this game in like 2 minutes, and there isn't a lot of moving parts. It is one of the simplest games I've ever bought. Which means you're going to get out of this game only as much as you and your opponent(s) put into it. You and your opponents will have an alliance with two characters who give you special abilities. Your job then is to eliminate the alliances of your opponents before they eliminate yours. Your alliances will either give you the ability to get money, which will let you destroy an opponent's alliance, or outright just destroy the alliance for free on your turn. This would be pretty boring except no one knows who has which alliances and alliances will change throughout the game. So the only consistent way to win the game is to lie about the alliances you have and hope you don't get called on it or make your opponents think you're lying so they lose an alliance by falsely accusing you. There's a lot of mind games to play in this game, so this may or may not work for you or your group. If it sounds like it will, then I think you can't go wrong with this game. It's easy, it's quick, and it'll have you laughing.

Fun, quick, engaging bluffing game

Average rating of 5 out of 5 stars

Very fun game. Gameplay is quick. Allows for replay and continuous engagement. This is a bluffing game and can be hard for young children or bad liars. Really good card balance. The mystery of which cards your opponents have is very enticing. Have played with 4y kids on up. All love it.

Simple and fun party game

Average rating of 4 out of 5 stars

Easy enough for non-gamers to pick up but deep enough for hobbyists.

Great and fun game

Average rating of 5 out of 5 stars

Excellent for group parties, because of game being made for up to 6 players. Its easy to learn, one game doesnt last long so you can play it multyple times and the most fun part is that you can expose someone if he is lying.

Great, quick, game for veterans and newcomers

Average rating of 5 out of 5 stars

Coup is a quick card game that is easy to pick up. The rules are very short and can be learned or taught within one turn of the game. Since, it is all about deception, a lot of the game play comes with how inventive you can be when making a move and your ability to bluff. A fun trick is trying to convince people you are bluffing when you are actually being honest. This is a great travel or drinking game that can easily go where you go.
