What is Spicy

Once upon a time, three big cats became exhausted fighting to be top cat. They agreed to quit the fight and spice up their nine lives with a hot spice eating contest. Alas, everyone was soon cheating, so the cats invented a very hot, often tearful, bluffing game.

Spicy is a bluffing card game for 2-6 players. The cards are played face down, so you can cheat when you announce your card. That said, this clever card game isn't just about bluffing for you can almost always play a card that is at least half right if you cleverly play your hand. This means tactically deciding which card to use to get through: Do I play a "Pepper 10" or a color wild on a "Wasabi 9" and declare it a "Wasabi 10"? Or do I better pass because surely someone has noticed me thinking for so long now?

Spicy contains six game-variant cards, but even without these a high replayability is guaranteed.

The cards are illustrated with forty separate pieces of art. In addition, not only the game box sparkles in chic metallic gold, but also the card backs are adorned with a gold-colored finish.

Una versión mejorada del clásico juego del metiroso, que se juega con naipes de baraja española. Se juega con cartas numeradas y de cuatro colores. Y cuando desvelas una carta que te han jugado en el centro, tienes que decir en qué falla.. si en el número o en el color. Está bastante entretenido. Las cartas son muy llamativas, con un toque oriental.

In Spain we have a classic card game called "El Mentiroso". In general, the rules are the same, but each group adds rules that unbalance it. Spicy is the same game, but balanced and filed until it is almost perfect in what is proposed. As problems, I can see that if you start the game badly it is very difficult to recover, that you can be very unlucky with the cards you get, and that in the long run, the game can be repetitive. As things to highlight, being an "already known" game, people are always predisposed to try it. The explanation is very fast and the game develops with a constant ten
