- Bullsuit- Like the card game Bullshit, this variation would focus on suits rather than ranks. Instead of going in numerical order, players would take turns claiming to play a certain number of hearts, diamonds, spades, or clubs. Since it’s harder to track suits than numbers, this version adds an extra layer of difficulty and bluffing.
- Match Four- In this game, each player is dealt four cards, and the remaining cards form a draw pile with the top card flipped face-up to start a discard pile. Players take turns drawing one card from either the draw pile or the discard pile and then discarding one card face-up. The goal is to collect four cards of the same rank(numbers/face cards), and the first player to achieve this immediately wins the round. If the draw pile runs out, the discard pile is shuffled to create a new draw pile so play can continue. For longer play, players can keep score by awarding points to round winners, and the first to reach a set number of points wins the game.
- Chips– This card game is played with a standard deck and a set of chips, with one player acting as the dealer while the rest take turns guessing the value of the top card. On each turn, a player makes a first guess at the card’s value; if correct, the dealer must place that card’s value in chips into the player’s pile. If the guess is wrong, the dealer announces whether the actual card is higher or lower, and the player makes a second guess. If the second guess is correct, the dealer takes that card’s value in chips from the player, but if it is still wrong, the player instead pays chips equal to the difference between their guess and the actual card’s value. Each revealed card is placed face up so players can track what has already been played, and if the dealer avoids losing chips for three consecutive turns, the role of dealer passes to the next player. The game continues until the deck is exhausted or the players run out of chips.
- Power– This card game is built around bluffing and power plays using money. Each player starts with two cards that represent different real-life positions, such as a Politician, Banker, Lawyer, CEO, or Journalist. These cards determine which roles the player can claim to be. On their turn, a player can use the action of the role they claim, whether they actually have that card or not. For example, the Banker might collect extra money, the Lawyer might block someone from taking money, the CEO could demand money from another player, and the Politician might remove another player’s influence. Since players can lie about their roles, others may call them out, and if the bluff is exposed, the liar loses a card, but if the challenge fails, the accuser loses a card instead. Players spend money to “overthrow” opponents, aiming to knock them out of the game by removing their positions. The last player with a surviving role wins.
- Grocery Run!- Similar to the game Sushi Go! Grocery run would have the same actions of starting with a certain amount of cards, picking one and laying it down, then passing the hand to the next player until the hands are gone. This continues until all cards have been played, simulating a fast-paced “shopping trip.” Unlike Sushi Go!, where the goal is to score the most points, the objective in Grocery Run! is to build the cheapest grocery cart. Each card represents different grocery items with varying costs, and players aim to minimize their total spending while still managing their cart wisely. Special coupon cards add an extra layer of strategy, allowing players to reduce the cost of certain items or cancel out expensive ones. At the end of the round, players tally up the value of their carts, and the lowest total wins.
