What is "Cheat"?

Cheat, also known as I Doubt It, is a card game that has been played for many years, with its origins likely in the United Kingdom. It is usually played by three or more players using a standard deck of cards. The goal is to be the first player to get rid of all their cards. Players take turns playing cards face-down and making claims about the cards they have played, but they may lie about the card's rank. Other players can challenge the claim by saying "cheat," and if the player was lying, they must pick up the entire pile. If they were honest, the challenger must take the pile. The game continues until one player has no cards left. Cheat is a fun game that mixes strategy and bluffing.
