Blue Fox is known for comics and high-quality gamebooks, with the latest being Simon Birks‘s The Curse of Cthulhu.
The publisher has brought a new project to the UK Games Expo, and it’s a card game. Bluff Pastry is on sale for the first time after a successful BackerKit crowdfunding.
The game is about chefs competing at a royal wedding. Yes, you could focus on ensuring your pies meet all the guests’ demands. However, you could also sabotage your rival to make sure that their pie disappoints.
Blue Fox details the catch with either gambit.
Only issue is, as per royal decree, you must offer any ingredients in your larder to the highest bidder. You check over the decree wording, and notice there’s no specific wording saying you have to tell the truth about what you’re offering, so perhaps that’s the ace up your sleeve!
The game is played over five rounds, lasts approximately 20 minutes, and is a brutal head-to-head for two players.
If that sounds too intense, then there is always The Curse of Cthulhu!
In the Curse of Cthulhu, you play a private investigator, paid to bring back a mysterious idol from the clutches of a fanatical cult on a remote Scottish island. You must use all your skills and experience to infiltrate the Gothic cathedral without being seen, locate your contact, and stay alive long enough to recover the part octopus, part dragon, part human sculpture.
It’s a daunting task from which you may never return!
