Bluffing

Activity competitive

Sending false signals, disguising intentions or deliberately misleading other agents.

Design question – Your agents deceive – where can one bluff in your game?

Reference example – Skull: bidding how many roses you can reveal – although a skull lies somewhere. Perudo: making a bid you don’t believe yourself. Football: faking the shot and then passing after all.

Motivations

• Togetherness (MOT-03) – Direct psychological confrontation.
• Rivalry (MOT-06) – Reading and outwitting others.
