Cockroach Salad
In Cockroach Salad players create a common salad packed with lettuce; peppers; tomatoes and cauliflower – but they won't always be saying which ingredient they're adding to the bowl!
The 128 cards – 120 vegetable cards in the four types and eight taboo vegetable cards; two of each type that bear cockroaches – are shuffled and divided among the players. On a turn; a player plays the top card from his deck onto the central pile of cards; naming the vegetable as he plays it; e.g.; Pepper! – except in the following situations:
• If his vegetable matches the previously played vegetable; the player must lie.
• If his vegetable matches the claim made by the previous player (perhaps because that player lied); then the player must lie.
• If he plays a taboo card; he shouts Cockroach! and the next player starts a new pile next to the first one so that the taboo card remains visible.
• If his vegetable matches a visible taboo card; he must lie.
Make a mistake or stumble or hesitate too long; and a player must pick up all cards played to that point in the game. The first player to run out of cards wins!
