Cheat (also known as Bullshit, B.S., Bluff, or I Doubt It[3]) is a card game where the players aim to get rid of all of their cards.[4][5] It is a game of deception, with cards being played face-down and players being permitted to lie about the cards they have played. A challenge is usually made by players calling out the name of the game, and the loser of a challenge has to pick up every card played so far. Cheat is classed as a party game.[4] As with many card games, cheat has an oral tradition and so people are taught the game under different names.
Rules[edit]
One pack of 52 cards is used for four or fewer players; five or more players should combine two 52-card packs. Shuffle the cards and deal them as evenly as possible among the players. No cards should be left. Some players may end up with one card more or less than other players. Players may look at their hands.
A player's turn consists of discarding one or more cards face down, and calling out their rank - which may be a lie.[6]
The player who sits to the left of the dealer (clockwise) takes the first turn, and must call aces. The second player does the same, and must call twos. Play continues like this, increasing rank each time, with aces following kings.[6]
If any player thinks another player is lying, they can call the player out by shouting 'Cheat' (or 'Bluff', 'I doubt it', etc.), and the cards in question are revealed to all players. If the accused player was indeed lying, they have to take the whole pile of cards into their hand. If the player was not lying, the caller must take the pile into their hand. Once the next player has placed cards, however, it is too late to call out any previous players.[6]
The game ends when any player runs out of cards, at which point they win.
Variants[edit]
- A common British variant allows a player to pass their turn if they don’t wish to lie or if all the cards of the required rank have clearly been previously played.
- Some variants allow a rank above or below the previous rank to be called.[6] Others allow the current rank to be repeated or progress down through ranks instead of up.[6]
- Some variants allow only a single card to be discarded during a turn.
- In some variations a player may also lie about the number of cards they are playing, if they feel confident that other players will not notice the discrepancy. This is challenged and revealed in the usual manner.[6]
- In another variant, players must continue placing cards of the same rank until someone calls 'Cheat' or everyone decides to pass a turn.
International variants[edit]
The game is commonly known as 'Cheat' in Britain and 'Bullshit' in the United States.[6]
Mogeln[edit]
The German and Austrian variant is for four or more players and is variously known as Mogeln ('cheat'), Schwindeln ('swindle'), Lügen ('lie') or Zweifeln ('doubting').[7] A 52-card pack is used (two packs with more players) and each player is dealt the same number of cards, any surplus being dealt face down to the table. The player who has the Ace of Hearts leads by placing it face down on the table (on the surplus cards if any). The player to the left follows and names his discard as the Two of Hearts and so on up to the King. Then the next suit is started. Any player may play a card other than the correct one in the sequence, but if his opponents suspect him of cheating, they call gemogelt! ('cheated!'). The card is checked and if it is the wrong card, the offending player has to pick up the entire stack. If it is the right card, the challenger has to pick up the stack. The winner is the first to shed all their cards; the loser is the last one left holding any cards.[8]
Verish' Ne Verish'[edit]
The Russian game Verish' Ne Verish' ('Trust, don't trust') - described by David Parlett as 'an ingenious cross between Cheat and Old Maid'[9] - is also known as Russian Bluff, Chinese Bluff or simply as Cheat.
The game is played with 36 cards (two or three player) or 52 (four or more). One card is removed at random before the game and set aside face-down, and the remainder are dealt between players (even if this results in players having differently sized hands of cards).[9]
The core of the game is played in the same manner as Cheat, except that the rank does not change as play proceeds around the table: every player must call the same rank.[9]
Whenever players pick up cards due to a bluff being called, they may – if they wish – reveal four of the same rank from their hand, and discard them.[10]
In some variants, if the player does not have any of the rank in their hand, they may call 'skip' or 'pass' and the next player takes their turn. If every player passes, the cards on the table are removed from the game, and the last player begins the next round.[citation needed]
Canadian/Spanish Bluff[edit]
Similar to Russian Bluff, it is a version used by at least some in Canada and known in Spain. The rules are rather strict and, while a variation, is not open to much variation. It is also known in English as Fourshit (single deck) and Eightshit (double deck), the game involves a few important changes to the standard rules. Usually two decks are used[6] instead of one so that there are 8 of every card as well as four jokers (Jokers are optional), though one deck may be used if desired. Not all ranks are used; the players can arbitrarily choose which ranks to use in the deck and, if using two decks, should use one card for each player plus two or three more. Four players may choose to use 6,8,10,J,Q,K,A or may just as easily choose 2,4,5,6,7,9,J,K, or any other cards. This can be a useful way to make use of decks with missing cards as those ranks can be removed. The four jokers are considered wild and may represent any card in the game.
The first player can be chosen by any means.[11] The Spanish variation calls for a bidding war to see who has the most of the highest card. The winner of the challenge is the first player. In Canada, a version is the first player to be dealt a Jack face up, and then the cards are re dealt face down.
The first player will make a 'claim' of any rank of cards and an amount of their choice. In this version each player in turn must play as many cards as they wish of the same rank.[6] The rank played never goes up, down nor changes in any way. If the first player plays kings, all subsequent players must also play kings for that round (it is non-incremental). Jokers represent the card of the rank being played in each round, and allow a legal claim of up to 11 of one card (seven naturals and four jokers).[12] A player may play more cards than they claim to play though hiding cards under the table or up the sleeve is not allowed. After any challenge, the winner begins a new round by making a claim of any amount of any card rank.
If at any point a player picks up cards and has all eight natural cards of a certain rank, he declares this out loud and removes them from the game. If a player fails to do this and later leads a round with this rank, he or she automatically loses the game.
Once a player has played all his or her cards, he or she is out of that particular hand. Play continues until there are only two players (at which point some cards have probably been removed from the game). The players continue playing until there is a loser. The object of the game is not so much to win, but not be the loser. The loser is usually penalised by the winners either in having the dishonour of losing, or having to perform a forfeit.
China/Iranian Bullshit[edit]
In the Fujian province, a version of the game known as 吹牛 ('bragging') or 说谎 ('lying') is played with no restriction on the rank that may be called each turn, and simply requiring that each set is claimed to be of the same number.
On any given turn, a player may 'pass' instead of playing. If all players pass consecutively, then the face-down stack of played cards is taken out of the game until the next bluff is called. The player who previously called a rank then begins play again. [6]
This version, also sometimes called Iranian Bullshit,[13] is often played with several decks shuffled together, allowing players to play (or claim to play) large numbers of cards of the same rank.[6]
Sweden[edit]
Known as bluffstopp (a portmanteau of bluff ('bluff') and stoppspel ('shedding game'.)) Players are given six (or seven) cards at the start of the game, and the remainder makes a pile. Players are restricted to follow suit, and play a higher rank, but are allowed to bluff. If a player is revealed to be bluffing, or a player fails to call or a bluff, the player draws three cards from the pile.
Additional rules and players to play more than one card in secret, and drop cards in their lap. But if this is discovered, the player must draw three or even six cards.

Card games are all about cunning and skill, but the game of 'Bullshit' also adds lying and deception into the mix. Your aim in the game is to get rid of your cards before the other players, by making great use of your poker face and trickery skills. Since all cards are discarded face down, anyone can lie about what they just placed on the table. The only thing you have to avoid is being caught. In this article, we're going to go over how to play Bullshit, as well as offer some tips and strategies that will help you best your opponents.
The BS card game involves players doing their best to get rid of their cards as fast as possible. In short, it's a game of trickery. Cards are placed face down when discarded, so no one really knows if the player who got rid of them actually played by the rules. This allows players to bluff about the cards they place down. If you think another player is lying, you can call Bullshit. If you’re right, said player will have to take back his cards, along with all the others that have already been discarded. If you’re wrong, you’ll have to add the discarded cards to your pile.
Bullshit is a great game for three or more players. As with most card games, it has a rich history, so people from all around the world play it under different names. The great Edmond Hoyle calls it 'I Doubt it' while in other parts of the United States it is known as 'Bologna.'
To start a session of the game Bullshit, you will need two to ten players and a standard deck of cards with the Jokers discarded. The dealer distributes cards until there are none left, which may leave some players with additional cards. However, this rarely increases their shot of winning.
The player who is holding the two of clubs begins the game by laying the card down on the table along with any other twos they may have in their grasp (face down). For instance, a player will set down three cards and say “three twos.” The next will have to set down threes, as many as he’s got, the following will claim to put down a specific number of fours, and so on. After reaching Aces, you start again with twos. Pretty straightforward so far.
Obviously, this is where the deception comes in. A player can discard whatever cards he or she wants and lie through their teeth about it. The only issue arises when another player challenges the claim by calling 'Bullshit.' When this happens, the person who just played is required to show everyone the cards they just put down. If they were indeed lying, they will take all the cards from the pile and add them to their hand. If they were telling the truth, the player who made the Bullshit accusation has to add all the cards from the pile to their hand. When two or more people call out a player and it turns out they were wrong, the pile will be divided among them. After Bullshit is called, the next person in line will start another round.
The game gets increasingly more difficult towards the end, so winning usually comes down to luck. Most of the fun lies in faking it, though, so you’ll be in for a treat. The winner of the game is the player who manages to get rid of all their cards first. After that, the game can continue among the other players.
Eager to get ahead? Here are some tactics you can use when playing Bullshit to increase your chances of winning:
While this game is all about deception, being honest pays off every now and then. If it’s your turn to lay down nines and you choose to play fours instead, you may regret it the next time you need to lay down fours. You’ll get the gist of it after a few rounds.
If an opponent is on their last card, calling Bullshit is usually a smart way to go. If you don’t, they’ll win and basking in all the glory. They can end up winning anyway, but at least you took a shot.
It's always a great idea to keep your cards stacked together, so the other players can never be certain about how many cards you have left. If they believe you have fewer cards, they are more susceptible to call Bullshit on you.
When the pile is getting big and you suspect that someone else is about to call Bullshit on you, call it on someone else first. If they are cheating, that's a lot less of the pile to worry about. It doesn’t always work, but it’s better than nothing.
Work on your poker face. Never show your feelings, as being cunning will help you intimidate the competition. You can either keep a straight face all throughout the game or choose to smile as often as possible to throw off your competition. If you feel like being extra, wear a pair of sunglasses all the way through.
Never lose sight of what cards you are playing. You don't want to be the person who calls out something they didn't mean to say.
The best thing you can do in this game is to closely monitor your opponents and their changing moods. As long as you pay attention to their facial expressions, you will drastically increase your chances of winning.

While these general guidelines on how to play Bullshit are great to get started, you can always mix it up by making your own rules or choosing one of the other variations of the game. Here are a few ideas:
If there are more than five players, consider shuffling two decks of cards instead of one, or even more. Bangla gta vice city game cheat code. You can keep the Jokers in and use them as wild cards – a stand-in for any other card a player might need at a certain moment.
Consider changing the sequence of ranks. For example, play the cards in descending order of rank instead of ascending. That means that you will start with twos, then move back to aces, kings, queens, etc. Alternatively, you can also play by going with the next highest or the lowest rank of the person who went before you. For example, if one player puts down sixes, the next can go with either sevens or fives.
Take cheating to the next level. Allow players to try and put down more cards than they declare, as long as they think they can get away with it. Or let players discard cards at any time if they feel like the player whose turn it is takes too long to place theirs down.
The BS card game is played all around the world and many people change it to better fit their culture. Here are some examples.
In England, Bullshit is called Cheat and has a very different gameplay. It mainly involves more opportunities to lie. For instance, the dealer can give themselves fewer cards than every other player, as long as they’re careful and don't get caught in the act. If they’re figured out, they need to deal the cards again. Likewise, players can hide cards up their sleeve and dispose them as needed. Players can also lie that there was their turn immediately after someone is called out for lying, since being the first to put down your cards comes as an advantage.
Canadian, Spanish, Australian
In Canada and Spain, the game is known as Bluff instead of Bullshit. Australians call it 'Fours hit' when playing with a single deck and 'Eights hit' with two decks. Jokers can also be used – this is usually up for the players to decide. Dealers can give more cards to specific players, and the first player to set down their cards is picked by another player who they choose in the Canadian game. In Spain, the individual with the highest card will be the first to play. The main aim in these countries is not necessarily to win, but to not be the person who is left with the most cards when the game is over.

More Bullshit Variants
In the Hawaiian version of Bullshit, a player can challenge another player regardless of whose turn it currently is. On the same note, players can take their bluffing to the extreme, by claiming that there are 14 Jokers on the table, for example. In other words, they can lie about the number of cards they are playing if they feel confident that other players aren’t paying attention. Granted, that doesn’t really work, but it makes the game a whole lot of fun.
Indian Bluff is similar to the US version, but it’s called Bluff/Challenge. In Russia, the Bullshit card game is known as “Verish' Ne Verish,” which translates to 'Trust, don't trust.' In the Chinese version of the game, there is no restriction on the rank that may be called each turn. This makes it easier for a player to get rid of all their cards without lying once.
