Cheating Moth (English Edition)
£9.99A hilarious game of diversions, distractions and dastardly cheating.
The aim of Cheating Moth is to get rid of the cards in your hand before everyone else. All players start with 8 cards – with one player taking the ‘Guard card’ – which stays on the table at all times.
A discard pile is started by turning over the first of the remaining cards in the deck. The majority of the cards are numbered 1 – 5, but pay attention because the ‘action’ cards have special abilities that can change the direction of the game.
Taking it in turns, each player needs to discard a card 1 higher or lower than the card on the discard pile – and if they can’t they take a card from the deck.
The catch is that Cheating Moth cards can’t be laid on the discard pile so players need to find imaginative ways to make them disappear – but watch out – if you’re spotted by the person with the guard card you’ll suffer a two card penalty and you become the new guard.
