About the Game

Buttons Deathline is a fast-paced multiplayer strategy game for 4 players, built around a deadly button in the center of the table. Each round, one player must press the button — but pressing it comes at a lethal cost.

Players must outsmart each other using bluff cards that can twist the rules, reverse outcomes, or save lives. Every choice is hidden, every move is a gamble, and the tension builds until only one player remains.

🎮 Core Gameplay

  • 4 Players, 1 Button – Each round, someone must press the button. The one who does pays the price.

  • Bluff Cards (7 Types) – Every round, players secretly select from 5 random cards, adding chaos and strategy:

    • Reveal – See the button’s hidden effect.

    • Extra Life – Survive one fatal hit.

    • Chaos – Trigger unpredictable effects.

    • Redirect – Transfer the button’s death to another player.

    • Pass – Skip your turn safely.

    • Time Cut – Speed up the round and increase pressure.

    • Reverse – Flip the button’s outcome.

  • Hidden Decisions – Card backs are visible, but players cannot see what they picked — bluffing and mind games are everything.

  • 4 Lives Each – Manage your health, outlast your opponents, and claim victory.

Only the last survivor can win.
Will you bluff, betray, or press the button yourself?
