INSTRUCTIONS

CHEAT

Players MUST lie when playing this game, it is a requirement! But watch out if you do, paying the penalty can be high! In a game with 6 or more players you may want to have two decks.

Ages: 5+

Players: A minimum of three people are needed to play, and the more the better.

Object: Each player tries to be the first player to play all of their cards.

Set-up:One player deals out all the cards. Some players may have one extra card.

Play: Players look at their cards. The player to the left of the dealer places one to four cards of the “same” value (i.e. all 7’s) face down in a pile in the center. The player says the value of the cards as they are placed. The player could actually be placing three 7’s and an Ace, the cards do not necessarily have to be the cards that the player claims (see Cheating).

The next player must play cards that are one value higher than those first played (i.e. three 8’s). The following players must each play cards one value higher than those played by the preceding player.

Cheating: A player can put down any other cards, instead of those of the correct rank, and pretend that they are all the same correct value. A player must always lay down at least one card during their turn, so if a player does not have the required value card, he must cheat. A player may also put down more cards than he says he is placing down.

Calling A Players Bluff: A Player may call another player’s bluff, before the next player lays down his hand. If a player suspects another player of cheating he challenges the player by calling “Cheat!”

The player who was challenged must then turn over his cards for inspection. If the player who called “CHEAT” was correct, the person who cheated must collect all of the cards from the central pile and add them to his hand. If the player did not cheat, the challenger must pick up the central pile of cards.

Play begins again with the player who picked up the cards from the center pile and resumes on the value that was cheated on.

Winning: The winner is the first person to succeed in playing his last card!

Variation: In Up & Down Cheat, players can play higher or lower rank cards than the preceding card.

CONCENTRATION

This is a great game for young children, and the big cards are easy to pick up. This is definitely a floor game.

Ages: 4+

Players: 2+

Object: Collect the most pairs.

Set-up:One player deals out all the cards face down onto the floor. The cards can be placed in any direction, but should not touch. A square format may be used.

Play: The player to the left of the dealer starts the game by turning over two different cards and allowing the other players to see the cards. If the two cards are the same value, two 7’s or 2 king’s than the player who turned the cards over collects them, and turns over two more cards. The player’s turn continues until she turns over two cards that don’t match. If two cards do not match they are turned face down to their original position, and the next player starts her turn. Play continues until all the cards have been collected.

Winning: The player with the most pairs wins!
