How to play Cheater Official Rules

Cheater Game Rules

Hey there! I’m here to tell you all about the rules of the Cheater Game. It’s gonna be super fun, I promise!

Game Objective

The main goal of the Cheater Game is to get rid of all your cards before anyone else does. It’s all about being sneaky and tricking your opponents!

Game Setup

Before we start, we need to make sure everyone is on the same page. Each player will receive five cards, and the rest of the deck will be placed in the middle, face-down. You’re almost ready to go!

Gameplay

Now comes the exciting part! The player to the left of the dealer will go first. They must play one or more cards face-down on the table, while stating out loud which card or cards they are putting down.

Here’s the tricky part: you can cheat! Yep, you heard me right. If you think someone is trying to sneakily get rid of more cards than they’re saying, you can call them out by saying “Cheat!”. If you catch them red-handed, they have to pick up the entire pile of cards in the middle. But be careful, because if you accuse someone of cheating and they’re innocent, you have to pick up the pile instead!

After the first player makes their move, the game continues clockwise. Each player must play cards with a face value equal to or higher than the previously played card. If a player cannot do this, they have to pick up all the cards from the middle.

The game keeps going until one player manages to get rid of all their cards. That player is declared the winner and can proudly shout “Cheater!”

Conclusion

Now that you know the ins and outs of the Cheater Game, you’re all set to start playing. Just remember to keep an eye out for any sneaky cheaters, and don’t be afraid to call them out! Enjoy the game and have a blast with your friends and family!

  • You will find a total of 56 cards in the deck. Each color has 14 cards, with 2 C’s, 2 H’s, 4 E’s, 2 A’s, 2 T’s, and 2 R’s.
  • In addition to the colored cards, there are 4 TAKE cards, 4 SHOW cards, 4 HIDE cards, 1 BUST card, 1 WILD card, 1 Cheater card, and a pair of dice.
  • Don’t forget to read the instructions to understand how the game is played!

The Goal of the Game

Your task is to be the first player to spell the word “Cheater” using cards of the same color. You can choose from four different colors: red, yellow, purple, or blue.

How to Play

Let’s start by removing the Cheater card from the deck. Put it in the middle of where we’re playing. Each of us gets 7 cards, and the rest of the cards go face down to make the DRAW pile. Take the top card from the DRAW pile and flip it over. This card will be the start of the discard pile.

Okay, here’s the deal. When we start the game, we all roll the dice. The person who rolls the highest number goes first, and then we go in a circle from there.

Now, pay attention – when it’s your turn, the first thing you do is roll the dice. If you don’t get two of the same number, then you have to draw a card from the draw deck. But don’t forget, you also have to discard a card to the discard pile if you don’t play an action card. Oh, and by the way, you always have to end your turn with 7 cards in your hand. Got it?

When You’re The Cheater

So, you’ve rolled doubles and now you’re the Cheater. That means it’s time to embrace your mischievous side and shake up the game! Get ready to make some bold moves and keep your opponents on their toes. Here’s what you can do as the Cheater:

The Power of Being a Cheater

Now, let’s talk about your options as the game’s Cheater. You have three choices that will help you gain an edge:

  • Option One – Take two cards from the draw pile and discard two cards to the discard pile.
  • Option Two – Take the top card from the discard pile and exchange it for one card from your hand, which you’ll discard. Make sure your moves are sly and strategic!
  • Option Three – This one is a real game-changer! Prepare to infuriate your opponents. Choose any player and request to see their hand (remember, the cards should be visible to everyone). Then, snatch one card from their hand and add it to your own. Watch as your rivals squirm!

No Longer The Cheater

When I’m playing the game, I have a few options as the Cheater. But there are two things that can stop me from using them:

  1. If someone else rolls doubles, they become the Cheater and I have to give them the Cheater card.
  2. If I’m the Cheater and I roll doubles, I lose my turn and my status as the Cheater. The Cheater card goes back to the center until someone else rolls doubles and becomes the next Cheater.

Action Cards

Take Card

When it’s my turn, I have an awesome option! If I have a TAKE card in my hand, I can choose to use it. All I need to do is toss the TAKE card into the discard pile and make it clear that I want to take a card from any player. It could even be the sneaky Cheater! So, I pick a player, and they need to show me their hand. We all have to be able to see the cards, of course. Then, I get to snatch one card from their hand! But here’s the catch: the player I took the card from has to draw another card from the draw pile to get their hand back up to 7 cards. And after all that excitement, it’s the next player’s turn.

Just a quick reminder: If I happen to draw a TAKE card on my turn, I can’t use it right away. I have to wait until my next turn to put it to work.

Show Card

When it’s my turn and I have a SHOW card, I can play it by throwing it away and telling everyone that I want to see another player’s cards, even the Cheater’s. I choose the player and ask them to show their hand. Everyone should be able to see the cards clearly. I can only look at the cards; I can’t take any of them. So, I need to draw a card from the draw pile to get back to 7 cards in my hand. Then, it’s the next player’s turn.

Note: If I draw a SHOW card on my turn, I can’t use it until my next turn.

Bust Card

When it’s my turn, I have the option to play my BUST card. This card allows me to discard it onto the discard pile and declare that I will “Bust” any opponent’s hand, even the Cheater’s. First, I need to identify the player whose hand I want to see. It’s important that all players can clearly see the cards in their hand.

Next, I roll a die to determine how many cards I can take from my opponent’s hand. The number I roll tells me how many cards I can choose and discard to the discard pile. Once I’ve done that, I need to replenish my hand to seven cards by drawing one card from the draw pile.

After I’ve completed my turn, it’s my opponent’s turn to replenish their hand. They must draw enough cards from the draw pile to bring their hand back up to seven cards. Once they’ve done that, play passes to the player on their left.

Note: If I happen to draw a BUST card on my turn, I cannot use it until my next turn.

Hide Card

If the Cheater asks to look at your cards or if another player tries to use a TAKE, SHOW, or BUST card against you, the HIDE card comes to the rescue. It’s a defensive card that you can play to protect your hand. To use the HIDE card, simply announce that you’re hiding your cards, discard the HIDE card onto the discard pile, and draw a card from the draw pile to bring your hand back to 7 cards. If your opponent used a TAKE, SHOW, or BUST card, they must also draw a card to bring their hand back to 7 cards. After playing the HIDE card, it’s the next player’s turn.

The Wild Card

Keep Playing

If no one manages to spell “Cheater” by the time all the cards in the draw pile are gone, shuffle the discard pile to form a new draw pile and keep playing.

End Game

The first player to spell “Cheater” using cards of the same color suit shouts “Cheater” and becomes the winner of the game!

    The Cheating Game: If you want to become a master cheater, there are a few titles you can achieve along the way. Let me walk you through them!

  • The Excellent Cheater: To earn this prestigious title, you need to win two games in a row. That’s right, two back-to-back victories, and you’ll be known as an excellent cheater!
  • The Ultimate Cheater: Now, if you really want to show off your cheating skills, aim for the Ultimate Cheater title. How do you get it? Simple. Win two consecutive games, but this time, make sure they are both in the same color suit. Once you do that, congratulations, my friend, you’ve become the ultimate cheater!
  • The Infinite Cheater: Are you ready to take your cheating to a whole new level? Well, buckle up because this title is reserved for the best of the best. To become an infinite cheater, you need to win not just two, but three consecutive games, all in the same color suit. Trust me, if you can pull that off, you’re not just a cheater, you’re an AWESOME cheater!

    • So, there you have it. These are the titles you can aim for in the world of cheating. If you’re looking to become a true master of deception, start winning those games and climb your way up the cheating ladder. Good luck, and may your cheating skills prevail!

To use the HIDE card, simply announce that you’re hiding your cards, discard the HIDE card onto the discard pile, and draw a card from the draw pile to bring your hand back to 7 cards. If your opponent used a TAKE, SHOW, or BUST card, they must also draw a card to bring their hand back to 7 cards. After playing the HIDE card, it’s the next player’s turn.

Keep Playing

If no one manages to spell “Cheater” by the time all the cards in the draw pile are gone, shuffle the discard pile to form a new draw pile and keep playing.

End Game

The first player to spell “Cheater” using cards of the same color suit shouts “Cheater” and becomes the winner of the game!
