The Dealer Deals Blind Blackjack Bluffing at UK Games Expo

Here is a card game with a wicked little hook. Everyone at the table can see your cards except you. The Dealer, the new game from UK studio Invisible Typewriter, casts you as an alien gambler in the galaxy's gaudiest casino, and it is making its retail debut at UK Games Expo this weekend.

It mixes blackjack with bluffing. You are chasing the right total without going bust, but because your own hand is hidden from you, you have to read faces, tells and the odd outright lie to work out what you are holding before you risk another card against the house. Designed by Scott Huntington and Shaun Graham with artwork by Carly Berry, it is set in a glitzy venue called The Starlight Galactic. It is the second release from Invisible Typewriter, the studio founded by Jon Gracey, Viv and Matt, following their party trivia game You Know It!

The Dealer goes on sale for the first time at UKGE, where you will find Invisible Typewriter on stand 2-787 in Hall 2. It is the sort of quick, social filler built for a loud table, so if your group enjoys a bit of needling and a press-your-luck gamble, give it a look on the show floor. Heading to UKGE? Find your group first.

Stop juggling Meetup, WhatsApp, and spreadsheets. One platform for your gaming group's events, RSVPs, and member management.
