A bluffing card game where players try to discard all their cards by playing them in sequence, with the option to lie about which cards they're playing.
Cheat / Bullshit / I Doubt It
2 - 4+ players
5 - 10 minutes
Objective: Get rid of your cards
Setup:
- Discard Jokers, combine decks if playing with more players
- Deal cards out to all players which they can look at
- Some players may end up with an extra card
- The player to the left of the dealer starts with Aces
Take your turn:
- Declare the number of cards you're discarding and the rank (e.g. 2 Aces)
- You may only follow the previous rank (e.g. 2 has to be played after Ace)
- Discard, face down, the same number of cards you declared
- Note that the cards you discard don't have to match the cards you declared
Calling cheat:
- If you think a player has cheated, you can challenge that player by saying "Cheat"
- The played cards are revealed
- If the player cheated, they take all the discarded cards, you then start the next play
- If the player did not cheat, you take all the discarded cards, and play continues with the next player after you
Other notes:
- Aces follow Kings
