Like Cain and Abel is an 18-card trick-taking game with light bluffing for two players. The game comes in an easy-to-carry mint tin and plays in under 15 minutes.
Like the biblical siblings, you are making offerings of harvested grains and livestock to God. However, you only score points amassed during the rounds that you have God's favor--whether or not you do, each round, is a fact hidden from your opponent.
Make boasts about the offering you'll give each round, bluff about whether or not you were telling the truth, make them think you have favor when you don't, and play to tricks with a unique, three-card cadence.
At the end of five rounds, the holder of the Last Act token can strike down one of their opponent's scoring cards, but they must choose wisely. It's only then that players reveal which rounds they were actually in God's favor, and the final, real scores are tallied.
