How to play

You and your opponent are dealt the whole deck between you (suits don't matter). Players take turns. On your turn you:

1. Play one or more cards face down.
2. Claim what they are — e.g. “2 Kings”. You don't have to actually be holding what you claim. That's the whole game.

Your claimed rank must be the same, one above, or one below the previous claim (Ace counts as both low and high, so King and Ace are adjacent). The very first play of the game — and whoever plays again right after a challenge below fully clears the pile — can claim any rank.

After a play, the other player can call Cheat!:

• If they're right (you lied), you take the whole pile and go again.
• If they're wrong (you told the truth), they take the whole pile and you go again.
• If nobody calls Cheat, play just passes to the other player.

First to run out of cards wins.
