Hoity Toity by same guy who did Settlers of Catan is one of my favorite bluffing games. It’s really a love or hate game for sure. Definitely doesn’t win in the graphic department at least the online implementation. Actual board game has decent graphics though. Object of game is to advance the furthest along the game board. On your turn you can either go to the Castle or Auction House. All players decide together and actions are revealed simultaneously.
In the Auction House you can choose to play a check or a thief. If you play the highest check amount you get to choose between the two exhibition cards. If a player choses a thief they steal the check played this round unless of course there are two are more thieves then no thieves steal anything.
In the Castle you can Exhibit your cards which must be at least 3 consecutive for instance AAB or BCD or BCCD or CDEEF. If you have the best exhibit or 2nd best exhibit you advance based on the two numbers on the board where the lead player is currently. However, when you exhibit you could have someone who played a thief steal from an exhibition card from you. Thieves can be caught and thrown in jail if you play a detective. Detectives advance using a catch up mechanism. If your in 4th place you advance 4 spaces forward for instance. Game ends when one player reaches the dinner table (pink section) and all players reveal their collections. Player with most valuable collection advances 8 spaces and 2nd most valuable collection advances 4 spaces.
