Cheating Moth

SKU: 742033923733 | Brand: Schmidt Spiele | Product: Cheating Moth Cheating Moth is a strategy card game where deception becomes a core mechanic. Each round distributes eight cards to players, who race to discard their entire hand while one player holds the guard bug role. Number cards (1–5) must match exactly one value higher or lower than the top discard pile card, with wraparound plays permitted. Special-ability cards, action cards (Ant, Cockroach, Mosquito, Spider) and Cheating Moth cards introduce layered decision-making. Players may conceal card discards through dropping or hiding provided their hand remains visible. The guard holds sole accusation authority; incorrect accusations penalise the accuser while proven cheating penalises the offender, who assumes guard duty. Cheating Moth cards exit play exclusively through hidden discards. When any player empties their hand, the round ends and scoring begins: Cheating Moth cards yield 10 points, action cards 5 points, number cards 1 point. After completing rounds equal to player count, the lowest total score determines the winner.
