Play Legs Up!
Six Roaches. One Flip. Your fate is decided by the creature's whim.
📜 How to Play & Official Rules
Each turn, a player antes 1 and flips all 6 roaches. The split decides the payout:
- 6/0 Split — Legs Up! (Yortzed) / Back Up! (Eephil): Win the whole pot! (The House takes 1 Ante cut ONLY if the Pot is 6 or higher).
- 5/1 Split — High Kick! (Cesta): Win half the pot (rounded down).
- 4/2 Split — Scatter (Niddeth): Take 1 Ante back from the pot.
- 3/3 Split — Hssssss! (Snēlab): Put 1 extra Ante into the pot. The 1st time you get this, you must also Eat a Roach.
- Eating a Roach: First 3/3 only (DC 10 CON Save).
- Save succeeds: You keep it down and get a (different) pet roach. Keep your new pet, or return it for 1 extra Ante -- and Disadvantage on your next Sleight of Hand.
- Save fails: You gag and pay 1 extra Ante.
- Special Rules
- The Ante goes up by 1 every 6 rounds (round 6, 12, 18, etc.).
- Sleight of Hand: Once per turn, you may secretly nudge 1–3 flipped bugs to change your split. The DC rises with how many you move: 12 for one, 15 for two, 18 for three. Get caught, and the original result stands, plus you pay 2 extra Ante into the pot.
- You must be able to cover the full current Ante to take your turn. If you can't, you're tapped out for that round and sit it out — but you keep whatever Ante you have left, and it's still yours if the game ends.
- Keyboard shortcuts: Space presses the main button, S starts (or executes) Sleight of Hand, Esc cancels a bug selection, H opens/closes this rulebook. Arrow keys move between players, roaches, and buttons (↑/↓ between sections, ←/→ within); Enter or Space on a roach selects it for Sleight of Hand.
- End of Game
- The game ends as soon as only one player can still cover the current Ante. Whatever's left in the pot splits evenly among all players (rounded down) — even anyone tapped out with nothing left. Any remainder goes to the house.
The roaches never lie. Everyone else does.
