When you hear a coyote laughing, begin to worry since it might be laughing at you. - Ancient Indian Saying
Coyote is a game of bluff and guess for 3-6 players, ages 12 and up.
Goal of the Game
In Coyote, the players play the role of Indians. Each player wears a bandana around his head with a “feather.” inserted in a sort of "pocket". The feathers have numbers printed on them and the game goal is to guess the value of all the feathers without knowing your own! If you can guess the correct value, you win! But usually, you’ll win by bluffing. Whoever guesses wrong will be a true coyote!
Game Components

The game was published for the first time in 2003 by the company KidultGame and than reprinted by Ravensburger, with the title PowWow, in 2006. This new edition of the game is more similar to the original one and has been published by the Italian company Oliphante in 2010. Part of the fun of this game are the faces of the players wearing the "bandanas" and trying to bluff using their best poker face. If you want to have a rough idea of what's the feeling of playing Coyote, you can have a look at some pictures published on boardgamegeek. They are showing people playing the original version of the game, that used standard cards instead of "feathers".
