Fool’s Pub from Nostra Games brings a thrilling multiplayer card experience where strategy meets a dash of luck. In our deep dive into Fool’s Pub, we unravel what makes this card game a hit!
For those who love engaging with players worldwide, Fool’s Pub offers the perfect platform. You can either test your wits against other gamers globally or face off against bots to fill the table. The game is all about bluffing or calling a card’s real value. If your honesty is doubted and you get caught bluffing, you might find yourself in a tension-filled spin of Russian Roulette. Victory belongs to the last one standing. As you can see in the images, the game features a whimsical assortment of anthropomorphic characters including rabbits, foxes, deer, wolves, and bears ready to outwit each other.
Jumping right into the action is straightforward. Matches start with you navigating through your cards using the D-Pad, selecting up to three cards with the X button, and hurling them onto the table with the Square button. The right stick lets you examine your hand or spy on other players. Suspect someone’s fibbing? Unearth the truth by jabbing Triangle to shout “LIAR!” Get it wrong, though, and you’re up for a nerve-wracking round of Russian Roulette, where the unfortunate player exits in a flurry of confetti.
On to trophies! Fool’s Pub offers a complete trophy collection with the coveted Platinum trophy up for grabs. As a Cross-Buy game, owning it on PlayStation 5 also bags you the PS4 version without extra cost, with separate trophy lists to conquer. Each list houses 18 Bronze, 11 Silver, and 5 Gold trophies. Your first win snags you your initial trophy, while others can be earned by strategically playing Queen, King, Ace, or Joker cards multiple times, frequently calling “LIAR!”, or surviving the Russian Roulette rounds.
Ultimately, Fool’s Pub presents an intriguing mix of skill and chance as players vie to outsmart each other, with whimsical animal characters adorning the vibrant gaming tables. Available as a Cross-Buy for just $6.99, it ensures entertainment across both PS4 and PS5 editions without additional charges.
