Devir Cheating Moth Party Game - Bluffing Card Game for 3-5 Players

Cheating Moth: a cheeky card game for social play

Meet Devir Cheating Moth, a lively party card game designed for 3-5 players and ages 7 and up. Perfect for casual game nights, it delivers quick rounds that mix strategy with playful misdirection. The game invites you to shed all your cards before the others, all while a gleefully stubborn Guard Bug sits on the table, shaping decisions and adding a constant twist to the action. The experience is tactile and vivid: bright cards, a satisfying shuffle, and the satisfying snap of the discard pile as rounds unfold.

In Cheating Moth, cards are numbered 1 through 5. Most are simply numeric, but a handful carry special abilities that come into play when discarded or kept in hand. The mix creates moments of suspense as players decide when to bluff and when to play honestly, all while monitoring the evolving discard pile. The Guard Bug remains a visible, cheeky obstacle, pushing players to weigh risk against reward in real time.

Gameplay at a glance

Rounds are short and social, keeping things lively and accessible. A round ends when one player runs out of cards, and scoring adds up quickly: opponents receive points for each Cheating Moth still in hand, plus points for action cards and numeric cards. After a number of rounds equal to the player count, the player with the lowest total wins. The setup is quick, and the turns encourage conversation, quick thinking, and a dash of misdirection without losing the light-hearted mood.

• 3-5 players, ages 7+, 15-25 minutes per round
• Compact, portable box ideal for travel or in-home game nights
