Showdown is the bidding game where bluffing is perfectly OK, as long as you don't get caught!
Bid how many of a given number appear on the cards held by all players together. For instance, "Four 5s". Next player must make a higher bid (for instance, "Four 6s" or "Five 3s") or Challenge yours. Once bidding ends, the cards are shown. Stars count as the number bid. If the Bid was too high, the Bidder loses a card. Otherwise, the challenger loses. Try to guess other player's hands their bids, but remember, bluffing can be quite effective (unless you get challenged!).
Discard and draw cards to improve your hand. If your bid is challenged, you can change it (with a small penalty) but if you're confident you can Double the stakes. Of course, then the challenger could Triple it!
Think the last bid was exactly right? Call Showdown! If you're right, you gain a card, everyone else loses one.
Showdown comes with 110 cards in our custom SliderBox with both spot varnish and metallic foil highlights on the box and cards. Originally published as Bid It!, winner of Games Magazine's "Games 100" award.
SliderBox
Our new line of SliderBox card games lets customers see actual cards through the packaging. This is important because we have spot varnish and metallic foil highlights on the box and on every card.
SliderBox is designed for vertical display and while all games are double deck they require the shelf space of a single deck of cards, either in the display or on pegs - each game has a clear hang tab.
Once open, the spacers are removed and the SliderBox closes fully.
