Lost Boy Entertainment Bad Apples — Strategy Board Game for Adults & Teens | Bidding & Bluffing

Experience a high-energy bidding and bluffing experience

Bad Apples from Lost Boy Entertainment blends social deduction with quick, competitive bidding. Players navigate a dynamic auction where deception, risk, and smart reads at the table shape who leaves with the top prizes. The game creates moments of tension and laughter as players weigh bets, bluff, and react to others’ moves, all without taking themselves too seriously.

In this fast-paced party strategy game, each participant starts with a hand of apples that carry different point values and a stash of bidding tokens. On every round, players secretly place one apple into a burlap sack. The bag is then opened to reveal the peaches, pears, and other treats up for grabs, and the highest bidder claims the apple’s value. Ten rounds later, the player with the most points earns bragging rights for the night.

How it feels to play

The setup is compact and tactile: the soft apples, the texture of the burlap sack, and the click of bidding tokens as bets are placed. The pacing encourages quick decisions and lively table talk, making each round feel fresh even after several plays.
