Board games and Chinese Bragging Game in Beaverton, Friday, Aug. 29, 2025

This Friday there is no mahjong at the pub, and we will meet again at New Seasons. I am interested in playing the Chinese version of “I Doubt It.” It’s a bluffing game where you try to get rid of all your cards. For example you put down some cards face down and say “3 seven’s.” I played it as a teenager and I think it’s much more fun than the American version. I will also bring a version of “Coup” another bluffing game. We can choose to play whatever games people end up bringing. Sign up for one of the limited spots at the Beaverton board games url. Sign up here too if you want to meet people from our group. Last week we had 2 tables of mahjong and it was a good night.

**Chinese Liar**
In the [Fujian](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fujian "Fujian") province, a version of the game known as 吹牛 ("bragging") or 说谎 ("lying") is played with no restriction on the rank that may be called each turn, and simply requiring that each set is claimed to be of the same number. On any given turn, a player may "pass" instead of playing. If all players pass consecutively, then the face-down stack of played cards is taken out of the game until the next bluff is called. The player who previously called a rank then begins play again
