I used to play Bluff as a kid, and we did not have the rule that only the next player can challenge. I agree that such a rule makes it better - and is necessary if you have more than 4 players. When we'd have, say, 6 players, almost every move would get challenged, and the winner usually was the one who never bluffs, which makes it a lot less fun.
- awb 5y agoThat's how I've always played too. If only the next player can challenge I can imagine table position would play a huge role in the outcome. If you're able to pay in front of the most risk-averse player you probably won't be called on as many bluffs. If you play behind the most risk-averse player you probably won't have to risk challenging much either.
- eru 5y agoYou just want a reputation for never bluffing.
