The bluffing game that drives you mad

Lunatic is a card game that features a mix of deception, combinatoric choices and tactical thinking.

Don't let yourself be fooled by its simplicity: This is a tough game. You have to lie to your fellow players right in the face. You have have to catch them lying. You need to remember what cards left the game - even tough cards leave the game face down! You need a strategy. You need a second strategy if the tides change. You need to organise your hand so the others won't get a read on you. There's a million tricks to learn. You need to stay calm.

The game is for 3 to 4 maniacs, and one lunacy lasts about 5 - 10 minutes.
