The Game


NOKER is a fast-paced bluffing card game about pushing your luck and calling people out. Learn it in 3 minutes. Play it in 10. Bluff your way through the table and make everyone else take the cards.Players slide single cards or pairs face down and boldly declare the symbol, truthfully or not. Pairs are riskier, but harder to challenge. Will you raise the stakes, call the bluff, or block and send the pressure to someone else?Push your luck too far and you’ll bust.One big bluff can take someone out in a single round!In NOKER there’s no winner. Only a loser.

I didn’t know my 8 year old could lie this convincingly until now

3 minutes to learn &
10 minutes to lose a friend

Every bluff changes your hand & Every hand changes your bluff

All the tension of poker & None of the tricky rules

Small enough for your jeans pocket & big enough for the pub table
