Pikken is the ultimate bluffing game for friends, family, and dice fanatics! Play together at the table or challenge each other online in this fast-paced, tactical party game full of tension and lies. Each player starts with 5 dice and rolls them in secret. Then the bidding begins: how many dice showing a certain number do you think are on the table? But beware — the Pik (the one) is a wildcard and counts double! Bids quickly escalate, and so does the risk. You have two options: raise the bid or call B******t! if you think the other player is bluffing. Everyone picks a side — do you support the bidder or the challenger? The winners lose a die and are one step closer to victory. The first player to lose all their dice wins the game. • Play offline at the table or online with friends • Perfect for 3+ players • Easy to learn, endlessly replayable • Great for parties, holidays, or game nights Do you dare to bluff… or will you fall for it?
