Skull

2011 · Card Game

Skull

Players secretly place face-down tokens showing either a safe symbol or a skull, then take turns adding more tokens to the table or starting a challenge. A player who feels confident makes a bid for how many tokens they can reveal without uncovering a skull; other players may raise the bid. The highest bidder then flips tokens, beginning with their own; revealing only safe tokens succeeds, revealing a skull costs a card. Players lose cards when challenged unsuccessfully, and eliminating two cards ends the game for a player. The game emphasizes bluffing, reading opponents, and strategic risk management.
