Bonaparte's Bluff

Bonaparte's Bluff is an abstract strategy game for two players. You push your pieces through your opponent’s line and try to reach their castles, while working out which pieces are genuine and which are bluffs. Any piece can pretend to be any other.

Bluff and challenge

You can challenge a move you believe is a bluff. If you are right, you gain an advantage; if you are wrong, your opponent gains one. You can play cautiously and draw your opponent forward, bluff aggressively to overwhelm their ability to read the board, or wait for an opportunity to make a game-winning trick.

Game modes
