The Crooked Table is a four-player online bluffing card game set in a tavern. Lie about your cards, challenge your friends, and work out who is secretly on your side.

Four friends sit down at The Crooked Table, and each is dealt a secret role: two Team Players who don’t know who their teammate is, a Neutral who is out for themselves, and a Saboteur who wants the group score to sink. Every turn, players play a card face down and announce what it does, truthfully or not. Anyone who suspects a bluff can put chips on calling it: catch a liar and their card doesn’t count, accuse an honest player and it costs you. Between rounds, chips buy items in the shop that bend the rules. With voice chat built in, the game happens as much in the conversation as on the table.
