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.

[@Therm6000]

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.

[@FakeAFSongLyrics]

That’s why you bullshit before you get to the last card. For example, if you are supposed to put down a 4 this turn, then an 8 next turn, then a Queen, and you have a Jack, Queen, and 8, you should play your Jack as the four, because you can bluff early and it is less likely to be called. Your last card will be automatically challenged so you should not bluff it all possible.

[@randombag420]

Another rule I like to add is that you can take a risk and challenge even though you're already out of cards. If the challenged turned out to not be bullshiting, then you take the card pile and play again. Is it dumb? Yes. Do I like it anyway? Yes.

[@CSmyth-]

I mean, it's kind of obvious that you have to be able to challenge on the last turn... If you couldn't, every single game would always end with the first player winning by saying "thirteen Aces!" and winning immediately.

[@theAstarrr]

Harsh Fluttershy, harsh. But seriously. The strategy is, you have to lie early on so that your winning move is the truth. The more you're able to tell the truth across the entire game, the better.

[@steveburke1519]

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.

[@Pensoil]

Steve Burke, it is called Bullshit. He labeled the video “I doubt it” to prevent it from being pulled.

[@computermaster124816]

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.

[@notmarcus17]

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

[@kamilye840]

This is a version me and my friends play too. It’s just a variant of the game shown in the video rather than an incorrect way of playing BS

[@AmitKumar-tg9oi]

Me and my cousins call it Bluff

[@dreamerfoxxy8095]

This game is also know as BS

[@dreamerfoxxy8095]

And instead of saying i doubt it, you say BS

[@deedeeen]

and Cheat

[@mikeoxlong9009]

And cap

[@barbarafuentes2171]

When I teach this game to kids, we say Liar

[@ItsSkyWasTaken]

With younger audiences, some popular family-friendly alternative lines for calling BS are: "Baloney Sandwich", "Baloney", "Liar", or even "Cap" or something like that. I personally like "Baloney Sandwich" for some reason lol

Ended up with more cards isn't always bad

[@mahmoodfamily]

when i play it with my friends, we all know it as bluff

[@rRecoveryProd]

Other versions call this Cheat, I think.

[@imrankhanrealaccount2575]

But if you never say BS or "I doubt it" and just let others say it wouldn't u just eventually win

[@sigmarthcipherius5153]

For a more Guilty Gear experience, you can say "That is BULLSH*T BLAZING"

[@MetaSynForYourSoul]

You playing Strive?

[@AheeanRahaman]

For more fun, don't say "I doubt it" say "This is bullsh*t"

[@Hithere-ek4qt]

For even more fun, just have a beer and forget the stupid game.

[@janwarrenbunoan3795]

_*also known as Bull$#!?_

[@shantanunene4389]

We call this game "challenge", and in each hand we have to deal cards of the same type, i.e., 2 aces followed by 3 aces etc.

[@rogerkearns8094]

Aka Cheat. (Terrible game, it can go on for too long.)

[@AdamKyleAntonio683]

The playing card version of fibber Fibber means bluffing or lying

[@cloudbounc3]

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.

[@GrampaSheevie]

Where I come from (Neopia) it's called Cheat!

[@nijucow]

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.

[@byronsmith8845]

So it's kind of like liars dice but with cards

[@Agentcalifornia26]

Okay! I have 6 people and when it comes back to my turn it’s the same number everytime

[@michaelscott5533]

What if more than one people say b.s?

[@ItsSkyWasTaken]

The first person to say it takes it if they were wrong.

[@deadlineuniverse3189]

I would spam “I’ll doubt it” until all Aces are in my hand and I can effectively stalemate the game.

[@danik0011]

what?

[@danik0011]

ah wait 😂

[@coordinator3039]

Correction, the Ace of Spades is first

[@ItsSkyWasTaken]

Different rule sets I guess... one game can have many different variations I also play with Ace of Spades going first, but the way I play it, the initial Ace of Spades is actually played face-up, as opposed to face-down like the rest of the cards (others simply play with the first Ace of Spades face down like normal)

[@tammieknuth6020]

It's a challenge

[@Jack_yongjk]

Example now is for card "4".. player lie n place the lie card, we call challenge he end up take all these card back to his on deck. So to continue the game we continue on card "5" ?? Or we start again with card "1"(Ace) ??

[@NikolajLepka]

So this is Spicy but simpler

[@neilangelo2466]

Firstn't

[@Hithere-ek4qt]

Sounds like a pretty stupid game to me

[@TheLostAndNotFound]

Ok so I get the concept of the game but all 52 cards? What about jokers?? I've played so many other games without jokers. Where do jokers fit in this game?? Most people leave them out and are only left 50 cards. So if I was playing with all 52 cards. What do the jokers do???

[@rainsong5549]

No, 52 card deck is a standard deck. The full deck is 54 card(52 standard card + 2 jokers)

[@NabeelKhan-lx2ly]

What if one player never says BS or I doubt it at all?

[@TheQuark6789]

That’s a perfectly fine strategy. If the other players are bad at identifying bluffs and therefore keep receiving cards, you would actually win that way.
