I have both cockroach poker and skull and skull is a much better game I’d say. Or at least for most people. As I mentioned before with skull you can/have to bluff but much much less and way more subtle. So for the people that have a hard time doing that it is much easier. Plus you can just not bluff that much and play it safe. It is perfectly valid.

Cockroach poker, even if you don’t speak much you do have to buff directly. Plus many times you have to come up with the bluff on the spot and that is hard to do.

Playing cockroach poker with some close friends must be really fun for shits and giggle but Skulls is a better game for most plays for sure
