Nosey Neighbor Card Game

Players hold a hand of family-member cards and take turns trying to shed them by playing one or two face-down cards onto a linear board of seven visible family characters, starting with the eldest and proceeding toward the baby. On a turn a player declares aloud how many cards and which character they are placing (for example, “two brothers”) and then places the cards face down. Opponents may challenge by calling a bluff; if the played cards match the declaration the challenger collects the pile, and if not the player who lied takes the pile back along with additional cards. The first player to discard all cards wins. The deck includes extra special cards representing an uninvited relative who is not on the board, which can affect bluffing and risk.
