Pirate’s Bluff Card Game
Pirate’s Bluff is a bluffing game with a custom deck of cards. Bidding happens in real time, with no turns, requiring lightning-fast decisions and nerves of pirate steel.
Look below for the files to print your own deck and rules. You can also order two beautiful custom decks from our friends at DriveThruCards.
Avast, Me Hearties!
The concept for Pirate’s Bluff was first hatched at RinCon 2017, using an UNO deck from the CVS across the street. It’s a lightning-fast bluffing game, something like Liar’s Dice, but with more flash. And pirates.
Each hand is fast, very fast, so shuffling can sometimes take longer than playing. That’s why we offer two different back designs, so you can keep two decks in play, and keep the action going.
Below is a PDF of the rules, as well as links to decks at Drive Thru Cards (red and blue backs). There is also a print-and-play version of the deck. If you like, you can build your own Pirate’s Bluff deck from an UNO deck, or two Poker decks, as explained in the rules.
