ABSTRACT:
The game apparatus of the present invention comprises a plurality of game cards with each game card having an indicia bearing front and rear face. The front face of each card includes a pictorial representation and the rear face has a worded description of that particular pictorial representation. The game apparatus further includes a card support for supporting the cards individually in a generally upright position with the pictorial representation on the front face of each card in an exposed position and the worded description on the rear face of each card being viewable from the rear of the card support without having to remove the card from the card support. The players of the game include one guesser at least one bluffer and a truth teller. The bluffers and the truth teller view the back of the card. The bluffers then give an inaccurate statement and the truth teller gives an accurate statement as to the pictorial representation on the card. The guesser is awarded points by his/her ability to determine who is a bluffer and who is a truth teller. In order to make this distinction another feature of the game is the provision of player identifying members, all of which appear identical to the guesser and which specifically identify to the other players who is a bluffer and who is a truth teller. The player identification members are distributed at random for each round of play.
