Description
Good Face Bad Face is a deceptively simple card game. It’s all about pushing your luck and fooling your opponents.
Each turn someone creates a mystery pile of cards from the ones in their hand and passes it round. When it comes to you, you can turn over the top one, or pass it on.
The aim is to lay four Good Faces in front of you, by turning over cards from the top of the pile — but beware! Turn over a Bad Face and it’ll chase all the Good Faces you were collecting away. So think again: do you turn over the top card, or pass the pile on?
Good Face Bad Face is a high-stakes, bluffing game where you’ll have to watch the cards, push your luck and get into people’s heads in order to win.

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- bluffing — it's a bluffing style game... there's some kind of bluffing and double bluffing goes on here maybe you'll give a a stack of positive cards to the to the next player and they'll think it's bad and move it straight back to you and you get to flip them all and so on
- Card Drafting — On your turn you are creating a stack of cards and you passing them on to the next player now they can either choose to reveal the top card um play it in front of them or pass the deck straight onto the next player
