Skull Bluffing Card Game

For the true connoisseurs, here is the purest edition of Skull, brought back from the ends of the earth y the author's ancestors! Lucky are the novices who now have the chance to discover one of the greatest bluffing games of the 2nd millennium!

Skull is the quintessence of bluffing, a game in which everything is played in the players' heads. Each player plays a face-down card, then each player in turn adds one more card - until someone feels safe enough that they can turn a number of cards face up and get only roses. Other players can then overbid them, saying they can turn even more cards face up. The highest bidder must then turn that number of cards face up, starting with their own. If the cards only show roses, the player wins; if the cards reveal a skull, the player loses, placing one of their cards out of play. Two successful challenges wins the game. Skull is not a game of luck; it's a game of poker face and meeting eye.
