Cockroach Poker

Eat Lunch and Board Game

A few of my past guests have suggested Cockroach Poker for a lunchtime game. I put it on my Christmas list a few years back. I never received it from friends, family, or Santa. One day while I was perusing the local game shop, there it was, hanging on a peg board. I was surprised that it was in a box that was barely four inches square. I don’t know what I was expecting, but not that. I immediately took it off the peg and purchased it for $11.99. Then, it sat unplayed for a month or so. It wasn’t until I was revisiting an old interview where the guest mentioned it that I remembered having bought it. I found it, took it to work, and learned to play Cockroach Poker.
In Cockroach Poker, you are trying to NOT collect sets of the creepy crawly critters. However, the first to collect four of a kind, well, they LOSE. They don’t win. You are trying to bluff your way to victory. Can you lie better to your friends than they can lie to you? Test out your thoughts with Jacques Zeimet’s Cockroach Poker.
