Cheat!
Cheat! is a Liar’s Bar-style card game where you face off against 3 AI opponents. Bluff your way to victory or call out their lies — last player standing wins!
How It Works
Section titled “How It Works”Start a game with /cheat start. You’ll be seated at a table with 3 AI opponents, each with their own personality and play style.
- A 22-card deck is dealt (kings, queens, jacks, aces + 2 jokers)
- Each player gets 5 cards (2 are excluded)
- Each round has a designated rank — all plays must claim to be that rank (e.g. aces)
- On your turn, play 1–3 cards face-down, claiming they’re the designated rank
- Other players can call “Cheat!” to challenge your play
- If challenged and you were lying — you lose a life. If you were honest — the challenger loses a life
- Each player starts with 3 lives — lose all 3 and you’re eliminated
- Last player standing wins the round!
/cheat start has a 5-minute cooldown.
Gameplay
Section titled “Gameplay”Each turn follows this flow:
- Play cards — select 1–3 cards from your hand to play face-down
- Claim the rank — your cards are automatically claimed as the designated rank
- Challenge window — other players decide whether to call “Cheat!”
- Resolution — if challenged, cards are revealed and the loser takes the penalty
When it’s an AI opponent’s turn, they’ll play cards and you’ll get the chance to call “Cheat!” on them if you suspect they’re bluffing.
