Cheat (game) - Variants

Variants

• In the most common variation, a player may pass, claiming he/she does not have any cards of that rank. This does not have to be true.

• A player may play any cards they choose, either in an attempt to bluff the other players. For example, if a player is supposed to play "two Kings" but only has one he/she can play any two other cards or one King and a Jack. In some variations a player may even put down three cards and say they are playing only two.

• Jokers can be used as any card.

• All plays are open to challenge, depending on the variation, either by the next player or any player. The challenging player calls out "bluff", "cheat", or "bullshit" and turns over any one card that was just played to see if they match what that player announced. If the card was correctly declared, then the challenger must pick up the entire stack; otherwise the bluffer must pick it up.

• The first player claims Aces, the second player claims Twos and so on through Kings back to Aces.

• When a player is caught cheating, the next player must claim the previous rank.
