How to Play Suits You
Description
A hidden identity game of observation and nerve. Conceal your suit, watch everyone else for tells, and stake forfeits on accusations — but a wrong call costs you, and a right one costs them twice as much.
Objective
Guess who's hiding your suit before anyone guesses yours.
Setup
Deal one card face down to each player from a shuffled deck. That card's suit is your secret identity for the round — look privately, then keep it face down in front of you.
Agree as a table what a forfeit means before you start.
Rules
Cards are flipped one at a time from the centre deck.
When a card turns, any player may accuse any other player of holding that suit, staking a number of forfeits. Multiple accusations can happen on the same flip.
After each flip, a ten-second window opens before accusations resolve publicly and simultaneously — signalling ready too early is itself a tell.
Winning
A correct accusation costs the accused double the stake and gives them a new secret suit card. A wrong accusation costs the accuser their own stake.
The game ends when the deck is exhausted or the table agrees to stop. There is no winner.
