Fool’s Pub, brought to us by Nostra Games, is a thrilling card game where wits and luck go hand in hand, offering an engaging multiplayer experience. This review dives into what makes Fool’s Pub a captivating game worth your time.
Upon joining a match, whether facing players worldwide or challenging AI bots, you’re drawn into a game of deception. The goal? Outsmart your opponents by either declaring the true value of your cards or bluffing your way through. If your bluff gets called, prepare yourself for the nerve-wracking spin of a barrel in a classic Russian Roulette. Victory is achieved by being the last player standing at the table. From the game’s vibrant screens, you’ll notice a lively cast of anthropomorphic animals such as rabbits, foxes, and wolves, each adding to the game’s unique charm.
When it comes to gameplay, simplicity is key. Navigate your cards with ease using the D-Pad, select and play one to three cards with the X button, and toss them onto the table with the Square button. Curious about other players’ hands? The right analog stick will give you the overview you need. Should you suspect someone of bluffing, a press of the Triangle button lets you call out, “LIAR!” Misguess, and you’ll find yourself in a round of Russian Roulette, where the loser is playfully knocked out with confetti.
For trophy hunters, Fool’s Pub doesn’t disappoint. The game comes with a full trophy list culminating in a coveted Platinum trophy. Since it’s available as a Cross-Buy title, PlayStation 5 owners can enjoy both the PS4 and PS5 versions at no additional cost, each with its own set of trophies. Expect to earn 18 Bronze, 11 Silver, and 5 Gold trophies, awarded for achievements like winning your first game, playing specific card combinations multiple times, calling out falsehoods, and outlasting others in Russian Roulette.
Priced at $6.99, Fool’s Pub offers an entertaining and strategic card game experience with cross-compatible versions for both PS4 and PS5. Its combination of strategic gameplay and whimsical design makes it a standout in the multiplayer card game category.
