Coyote is a clever card game from HeidelBÄR Games (CGE store): you always see everyone else’s card but never your own, then bluff and estimate the total to outbid—or call—your rivals.
How to play
Each player gets a face-out card in a stand; one extra card lies face down in the center. On your turn, either raise the current bid to a number still below the true total of all cards, or challenge. Special cards (“?” and “Max 0”) twist the math. Peek cards let you secretly check the center card—if you do, you must raise. Lose a challenge, lose a Peek; run out of Peeks and you’re out.
Why this game?
Fast bluffing with pure information asymmetry; teach in minutes, but timing, memory, and nerve keep it fresh.
