In Bluff im Zoo, the players are returning from the zoo and talking about who's seen the biggest and most animals — but not everyone is telling the truth. On a turn, a player can do one of the following:
When a player doubts an opponent, all cards are revealed. If there are at least the number of animals that the previous player claimed, the doubter takes all the cards (which are worth negative points); if not, the person who made the claim collects them. But beware as the deck contains special cards — e.g., jokers that count as any animal and cards that reduce the number of animals seen — so no one can ever be sure which animals await.
The first player to collect thirty cards loses and ends the game, then the player with the fewest cards wins.

Players boast about the elusive creatures they claim to have seen in the mountains. But can you always believe their stories?
Every player gets five cards, showing one of five animals with quantities of 1, 2 or 3. The starting player plays a card face down on the table, making a claim such as "I have seen one Yak", then draws a new card. Next player adds to that stack, raising the claim, either by raising the number or the size of the animal. The cards in the stack represent the animals which have actually been around. Play continues in clockwise order until a player calls a bluff and flips open the stack. If it doesn't contain at least as many animals of the last kind as were announced, the bluffing player takes the stack as a penalty, if it does, the caller takes them.
Beware, there are some special cards that players can sneak into the stack, those which reduce the numbers on the cards or those that make all animals appear as the same kind.
When the draw pile is exhausted, the player with least penalty cards wins.
The game is a simplified reimplementation of Bluff im Zoo.

Oh no! The sneaky wolf has entered the farmhouse! He might already have disguised himself as a sheep, a hunter or a hunting dog. In order to confuse the wolf, the hunter and animals in the farmhouse also start to disguise themselves. As a result, nobody can tell each other apart anymore. Meanwhile, the shepherd boy has repeatedly fooled others by crying out "Wooolf! Wooolf!!". So the hunter and the hunting dog have to be careful with the shepherd boy. Everyone has to find out the real identity of others. Will the wolf finally catch the real sheep, or can the sheep find the hunter and the hunting dog who can protect them?
Wooolf!! Is a fast playing deduction game suitable for four to eight players. Each player has two character cards, one of which represents his true identity and the other is only there to cause confusion. Character cards include wolf, sheep, shepherd boy, hunter, and hunting dog. By asking clever questions and drawing the right conclusions, each player tries to make correct suspicions before the other players do. In order to catch the wolf, the shepherd boy will sometimes dress up as hunter, the hunter will disguise as a sheep, the sheep will act like hunting dogs and the hunting dog will put on wolf skin. Use your wits to tell truth from lies in order to be the first to catch the wolf.
