Cockroach Soup (Card Game)

In Cockroach Soup, players work together to create a soup from leeks,peppers, carrot and mushrooms – but they won't always be saying whichingredient they're adding to the pot!

The 128 cards – 112 vegetable cards in the four types and 16 “taboo”vegetable cards, four of each type that bear cockroaches – are shuffled anddivided among the players. On a turn, a player plays the top card from theirdeck onto the central pile of cards, naming the vegetable as they play it, e.g.,“Pepper!” – except in the following situations:

• If their vegetable matches the previously played vegetable, the playermust lie.
• If their vegetable matches the claim made by the previous player (perhapsbecause that player lied), then the player must lie.
• If they play a taboo card, which shows a cockroach slurping from a spoon,they must slurp and the next player starts a new pile next to the first one sothat the taboo card remains visible.
• If their vegetable matches a visible taboo card, they must slurp – unlessthe last person who played such a card slurped, in which case they must say,“Mmmm”.

Make a mistake or stumble or hesitate too long, and a player must pick up allcards played to that point in the game. The first player to run out ofcards wins!

Can be combined with Cockroach Salad.
