Skull & Roses is the quintessence of bluffing; a game in which everything is played in the players' heads. Each player plays a face-down card; then each player in turn adds one more card – until someone feels safe enough to state that he can turn a number of cards face up and get only roses. Other players can then overbid him; saying they can turn even more cards face up. The highest bidder must then turn that number of cards face up; starting with his own. If he shows only roses; he wins; if he reveals a skull; he loses; placing one of his cards out of play. Two successful challenges wins the game. Skull & Roses is not a game of luck; it's a game of poker face and meeting eyes.Skull & Roses Red features the same gameplay as Skull & Roses; with the only change being alternate rules that allow each player to control two biker gangs. Both Skull & Roses Red and Skull are playable on their own; with each game containing six different biker gangs. Each Skull or Skull & Roses set can be combined with another to allow for games with more than six players.
