10 itemsAbout the Game
The Bold Club is a fast-paced card game for 2+ players where cheating isn’t just allowed… it’s expected.
Simple rules. Three shapes, three colors. On your turn, play a card that matches the shape or color on top of the pile.
There are two types of special cards: Star cards help you win, while Cursed cards do the opposite if you don’t get rid of them quickly.
Empty your hand first to win… by any means necessary.
In The Bold Club, cheating is allowed... At any time, you can secretly drop extra cards, just like that. The more cards you sneak in, the longer it takes to get rid of them, giving others more time to catch you in the act..
Someone cheating? Report them!
When a player cheats, they play an animation while they get rid of their cards. This is the moment when they can be called out!
If you're right, the cheater draws cards as a penalty...
But if you're wrong... You’re the one who draws
In The Bold Club, the cannon is at the heart of every game.
It sets the pace of the game, deals the cards, and makes each game unique.
It triggers the special effects.
When a special card is played, the cannon springs into action. It immediately applies its effects, whether beneficial or punitive. The cannon does not judge, it executes.
