Cheat (game)
Cheat (Britain), also known as Bullshit (United States) or I Doubt It, is a card game where the players aim to get rid of all of their cards. It is a game of deception, with cards being played face-down and players being permitted (and often required) 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. As with many card games, cheat has an oral tradition and so people are taught the game under different names.
