RULES:
The object of this card game is to be the first person to get rid of all the cards in their hand. Setup. Shuffles a standard 52 card deck of playing cards then everyone picks a card at random and the player with the lowest card is the first dealer. Kings are high and Aces are low. The dealer deals out all the cards to the players, one at a time.

The player left of the dealer goes first, then play proceeds clockwise. On your turn, you must play 1 to 4 cards facedown to the center of the table based on the rank being played, speaking aloud the number of cards and rank. The game starts with Aces then with each player’s turn it increases in rank by 1. You are not required to actually place down cards of the correct rank, you may bluff an put down anything.

For example, the first player places 1 card facedown and says “1 ace”. The next player places 1 card facedown and says “one 2”. The next player places 2 card facedown and says “two 3’s”. and so on.

During play, before the next player lays down their cards, anyone who thinks the current player is lying can say “I Doubt It”. The top cards the player laid are revealed. If the player was lying, they must take all of the cards in the middle and add them to their hand. If the player was telling the truth, then the player who said “I Doubt It” must take all of the card in the middle.

To continue the example: the next player places 3 card facedown and says “three fours”. Another player immediately says “I doubt that”. The 3 cards are flipped faceup revealing a jack, 7 and 2. The entire stack of cards is picked up and added to the hand of the player who played the 3 cards.

Play then continues in the normal rotation with the next player after the one who was challenged. If you reach King without a player being challenged, then continue on with Ace. The first player to get rid of all of their cards wins the game.

A rule you missed: You can still be challenged right after you play your last card(s). If you are challenged successfully, you take the whole stack as normal and you don't win.

We always called this game Bullshit, and also we added a Joker as a wild card, and playing up to 5 cards was allowed. If you had the Joker in your hand when someone played out, you went back double for that hand.

I learned this game on Neopets. On there, you had to declare your cards to be within 1 rank of the previous player; Aces round the corner, leading to King or Two. If there was no stack, you can call any number.

I've been playing this game wrong the whole time, we let the player choose which card they want to put down and everyone goes around putting down the card with the same value. We also let people pass on their turn and if everyone passes then the person who put down the last card is able to put down a new card of a different value

For me and my family, we always had trouble cause 1 player would end up with almost all the cards, and no one could get rid of all their cards. So we made a home rule. After shuffle, and before dealing and play, take out 20 cards and leave them to the side. Now even though you may have all the cards at the end, you can’t be sure that you know what card the last player has.

I usually played a modified version that's mixed with the Polish card game called pan. All cards below the 9 are dropped, and aces are high.
The player that has the nine of hearts plays it face up, and then the game continues clockwise with cards face down. Players can only play one or four cards, with the exception of three nines. For every BS, the nine of hearts always stays on the table. You are allowed to call BS on your opponent's last card.

Must we play at least one card each turn? For example, if we're at 5 and I don't have any fives, but I don't want to cheat in that instance, can I skip my turn? Or similarly, I could actually have the number but skip my turn on purpose so other players would think I don't have that number ?
