CAN YOU
OUTSMART
THE CLOCK?
Step into the 1950s parlor for a game of wit, nerves, and chronological deception. Tom's Time Bluff is the strategic bluffing card game playable around the clock.
What is Tom's Time Bluff?
Tom's Time Bluff is a fast, devious card game about time, lies, and timing. Play your clocks in order — face-up if you have them, face-down if you don't (and hope no one calls your bluff). Each round is a tiny psychological duel: read the table, hold your nerve, and be the first to empty your hand. Easy to learn in five minutes, impossible to play the same way twice.

Gameplay
Three pillars — learn them in a minute, master them over a lifetime.
Basic rules
Play clock cards in chronological order. If you can, play face-up. If you can't, play face-down — and bluff your way past your opponents.
Special cards
Jokers stand in for any hour. Time Vortexes scramble every hand at the table. Partner cards twist alliances mid-round.
How to win
First player to empty their hand wins the round. Penalty points pile up over the match — the lowest score takes the crown.

We're a tiny, time-obsessed studio
Tom's Time Bluff started at a kitchen table in 2024 with a deck of index cards and one too many arguments about whose turn it really was. Two years and a few hundred prototypes later, we're ready to put it in your hands — but only with your help.
