Skull is a strategic party game centered around bluffing and deduction. Players take turns either adding a disc to their pile or betting on how many flowers they can reveal without uncovering a skull. Revealing a skull carries penalties, while successfully completing a bet earns a point—two points win the game. The challenge lies in deceiving opponents while detecting their bluffs, requiring careful observation and calculated risks.
Designed for 3 to 6 players aged 10 and up, each session lasts around 30 minutes. The 2023 edition includes updated rules, a refreshed design, and new color schemes. Its compact size makes it portable for gatherings with friends or family. The game’s straightforward mechanics make it easy to learn, though mastering strategic deception takes practice.
Things to Keep in MindA recurring concern among reviewers is the quality of the physical components, with multiple reports of missing or incorrect game pieces upon arrival. Furthermore, the game's discs are frequently cited as being made of fragile cardboard that tears easily, potentially compromising gameplay. Why You'll Like ItPlayers frequently find this game fun and engaging, highlighting its bluffing and strategy aspects that lead to laughter and quick, entertaining rounds suitable for both children and adults. It's generally reported as easy to pick up after the initial explanation and appeals to a broad age range.
