## Overview

Cheating Moth is a quick-to-learn, fast-paced card game where players race to discard all cards by cleverly cheating without getting caught. Featuring 8 cards per player, special ability cards, and a unique guard bug mechanic, it supports 3-8 players aged 7 and up. Part of the award-winning Drei Magier line, it blends strategy, deception, and laughter for memorable game nights.

## Description

In Cheating Moth you want to get rid of all the cards in your hand before anyone else. Each player starts the round with a hand of eight cards, with one player (the oldest) receiving the guard bug - which stays on the table throughout the game - and one card being turned face-up to start a discard pile. The cards are numbered 1-5, with the majority of them having only numbers; some cards have special abilities that come into play when added to the discard pile or in a player's hand.

Review: Cheating is the point - This is a fun and different game because there are rules, but one of the rules is that you are allowed to cheat (and, in fact, encouraged to do so). The game itself is pretty standard - you have a set of cards and you are trying to get rid of everything in your hand. You do so by getting around and putting a card down on your hand based on what is in the discard pile, including special cards that change the play for that round. That's all fine, but if that's all the game was, it would only be mildly fun. The best part is that you are encouraged to cheat and get rid of cards faster than would otherwise be possible. Almost anything goes (there are a couple of constraints), but if you get caught, your are penalized. It's fun to come up with new ways to be sneaky and disappear cards and it's even more fun to see what strategies other people come up with. I like that it is fast-paced and you can play as many or as few rounds as you like, so you aren't committing to a long period of time; if you want to only play for 5 min, that's fine, or you can keep going all night, if you like. It's also great for a wide range of ages and number of players. You will need at least 3 people, but 5-8 would be better. You could go higher, but if you get too many, it will be too hard to catch the cheaters, so it may not work as well. We also play with older teens, adults, and children down to age 8. I think if you were to go much younger, the players may struggle a bit, but if you have a precocious (and/or devious) youth, he/she may still enjoy it. It's a fun game-highly recommended!
Review: Easy to learn and the rules - Cheating Moth is a fast-paced and light-hearted board game that is sure to bring laughter and excitement to your game night. In this game, players take on the role of moths trying to collect as much light as they can while avoiding being caught by the bat. The twist is that players can cheat by moving their moth to a different light source, but if they get caught, they lose points. This element of deception and strategy adds a fun and unique twist to the game. The game is easy to learn and the rules are straightforward, making it accessible for players of all ages and skill levels. The game's fast pace and quick rounds ensure that players will never get bored, and the addition of the cheating mechanic keeps everyone on their toes. Overall, Cheating Moth is a great choice for anyone looking for a fun and entertaining board game. The combination of strategy, luck, and deception makes it a game that will keep you and your friends engaged and laughing for hours.
