Cheating is forbidden? Not in this naughty game of cards – in fact, you'll probably have to cheat in order to win.

In Mogel Motte you want to get rid of all the cards in your hand before anyone else. Each player starts the round with a hand of eight cards, with one player (the oldest) receiving the guard bug – which stays on the table throughout the game – and one card being turnd face-up to start a discard pile. The cards are numbered 1-5, with the majority of them having only numbers; some cards have special abilities that come into play when added to the discard pile or in a player's hand.

On a turn, a player places one card from her hand onto the discard pile; that card must be numbered exactly one higher or lower than the card on top of the discard pile. (The numbers wrap, so a 1 can be played on a 5 and vice versa.) If a player can't play a card, she draws one from the deck and her turn ends.

There's another way to rid yourself of cards, though: cheating! Throughout the round, you can make cards disappear by dropping them on the floor, hiding them up your sleeve and so on. You must keep your hand of cards above the table at all times, you can't vanish more than one card at once, and you can't rid yourself of your final card this way. The player with the guard bug – and only him! – can call out other players for cheating, and no one can cheat while the accusation is being resolved. If the accusation was false, the Guard must draw a card; otherwise the cheating player takes back the card she tried to lose, is given a card from the Guard's hand as additional punishment, and becomes the new Guard.

Cheating is a necessity as the "Cheating Moth" cards can't be played onto the discard pile, but must be disappeared via cheating. (The Guard, however, can play these cards as the Guard is not allowed to cheat.)

The action cards work as follows:


Ant: After an ant is played, everyone but the active player must take a card from the draw pile.
Cockroach: After a cockroach is played, everyone races to play an identically-numbered card on top of it. Only the fastest player gets to leave her card in place.
Mosquito: After a mosquito is played, everyone but the active player must slap the pile of cards. Whoever is slowest receives a card from the hand of all other players.
Spider: After playing this, give a non-Cheating Moth card from your hand to another player.


When one player has no cards in hand, the round ends. All other players score 10 points for each Cheating Moth in hand, 5 points for each action card, and 1 point for each number card. After a number of rounds equal to the number of players, the game ends and the player with the lowest score wins.

Always love buying my Pop's from here!!

Great price and great service. Had a slight problem with a funko pop I pre ordered but once I messaged them they responded quickly and sorted it straight away, I'd highly recommend these guys, IV bought a few funko pops from them in the past and they've not disappointed yet :)

Amazing business! Their comms are clear and on top of everything, living in UK the shipping was reasonable and price affordable and honest. The Funko came with protective box too! I am beyond happy, especially because I was desperate to find this specific item. 10/10

Fantastic customer service!! I emailed their customer service to amend my pre-order and swap a pop and got a quick response. Dayna was very helpful and was able to amend my order very quickly. Highly recommend this company for all you funko pop needs with a great range to choose from.

I have a lot of issues with post order stuff being wrapped in a crap way and products getting damaged. Great to see that Ozzie collectibles is the happy exception. My product wasn't even fragile and still obviously wrapped with a lot of care and attention. Kudos to them!

Fast shipping and well packaged. A+

It's true what they say, it won't be difficult to open a lot of boxes just to find manga here, they will open it live so you can see what you are looking for and what is opened live of the boxes you ordered, then when they get Sec, SR or Manga or pokemon cards that will be loved. It automatically has a sealed top loader so that the cards you bought are beautiful and won't be damaged. The fun is when you see the purchased live, you will be happy and they are even kind and friendly in their live stream. If I were you, ozziecollectables would be great to shop for your favorite POKEMON One pieces. They are highly recommended 100% and they are also quick to email you if you want to grade the PSA properly and in detail.

While I've only been able to order online due to living in the US, I hear nothing but positives about the Ozzie community from friends that live in the area.

Wonderful place of joy <3 Incredible staff and owner, very knowledgable and friendly; continuously holding events for various nerdy communities :D
