Coiledspring Games: Schmidt | DMS Cockroach Poker English Edition – Card Game for 2-6 Players, Ages 8+, 15 Minutes

Overview

Coiledspring Games presents Schmidt | DMS Cockroach Poker English Edition, a lively bluffing card game built for social play. Eight quirky critters decorate the COCKROACH poker cards, each with a playful personality that adds flavor to every claim. Designed for ages 8 and up, the game scales from 2 to 6 players and thrives in short, energetic sessions that are perfect for family nights, friends gatherings, or a quick break during a busy day.

The core idea is simple, but the tension is real. On your turn you pass a card face down to another player and declare what’s on the card. You may bluff, or you may tell the truth. The recipient can either accept the card or peek at it and pass it along. If a bluff is called, or a truthful claim is challenged incorrectly, the card stays visible as a reminder of the misstep. Reading tells, timing the pass, and choosing when to peek all contribute to the fun and rhythm of the game.

What you get

• Eight distinctive critter designs across a compact deck

• Easy-to-learn rules ideal for families and casual games

The objective isn’t to identify truth every time but to manage risk and read the room. As rounds unfold, players juggle bluffing bravado with careful observation, creating moments of humor, suspense, and friendly competition. The format invites everyone to participate—whether you’re the sharp-eyed skeptic, the fearless bluffer, or the player crafting a clever tell for a pivotal pass.
