Play Intriga online

Bluffing at court: claim to be who you are not, catch the liars and be the last one with influence.

Playing Intriga online

Intriga is the house bluffing game: 2 to 6 players, at its best with 4 or 5. The more people, the more eyes to catch you lying... and the more people lying too.

A game takes five to ten minutes, and someone drops out every few turns, so it is easy to play several in a row.

The table marks the actions that would be a bluff with your cards, counts the characters already revealed and, whenever someone claims a character, puts the "Liar!", block and "Let it pass" buttons right in front of you.

What gets settled before the deal

Nothing: Intriga has no room options. It is always played with all five characters, three copies of each.

Your first game

Your two cards sit at the bottom with their portrait and what they do. On your turn pick an action from the grid: those that would be a bluff with your cards carry a "bluff" tag, and those you cannot afford are greyed out with the reason.

When someone else plays, you have six seconds to challenge or block. If you do not care, press "Let it pass" and the game moves on sooner.

The turn clock is twenty-five seconds. If it runs out, the table takes income for you (or makes the coup if it is compulsory).

How to start a game

1. Create a room from this page and share the code on screen with whoever is playing.
2. Everyone opens House Of Decks, enters that code and takes a seat at the table.
3. Once there are between 2 and 6 of you, the host deals and the game begins.
4. If you would rather not organise anything, drop into Quick Play and play with whoever is waiting.

Deck: 15 character cards (three of each of the five) and coins · Players: 2 to 6 players
