mini bliff

As you have probably guessed, mini bliff is a small version of bliff, an olfactory board game I developed for my thesis at Leiden University a couple of years ago. I decided to develop a mini bliff to make it easier to transport, and to easily introduce my game to novice players.

So, if you're in Jakarta and want to try to play the mini bliff, please don't hesitate to contact me. I will be more than happy to arrange some mini bliff sessions :-)

So finally Bliff was played in Indonesia!

Every Friday night Altermyth, a digital game company where Titing works, holds a game night, so I proposed to bring my olfactory board game Bliff.

There was quite a lot of preparation to present Bliff to new players; I had to make sure that the scents were still strong and recognisable, while in the same time not unfamiliar to Indonesian noses. Some scents were replaced, like the rosemary for example, because it was not very common.

Three players took part in the Bliff tryout premiere. Titing, Joko, and Chen. Since they were all experienced with games, it was not difficult to explain the rules.

The game ran for about an hour and Chen, being very good with game strategies, won.
