Welcome back, listeners!
The rules of two-person Cheat are simple:
- Each player begins with 13 cards in their hand
- Player 1 places cards facedown in the center of the table
- Player 1 states the face value of the card and how many of those cards they put facedown
- Player 2 then places their own number of cards down in the center of the table
- Player 2's cards must be:
- 1 value lower;
- the same value; or
- 1 value higher than Player 1's cards
- Players continue this until:
- One player accuses the other player of cheating. They signal this intention by saying "cheat". or
- One player runs out of cards in their current hand.
- Should a player be accused of cheating when they, in fact, did cheat, said cheating player will pick up the pile of cards in the center of the table and add said cards to their hand.
- Should a player accuse another player of cheating when the accused player did not cheat, player who incorrectly leveled accusations will pick up the pile of cards in the center of the table and add said cards to their hand.
- Should one player run of cards in their current hand, they must a) not be successfully accused of cheating and b) draw cards to a hand size of 7.
- A game of two player Cheat will end when:
- One player (likely Janot) holds all cards in their hand. This player is the loser. or
- Both players agree to make a completely irrelevant bet at the end of the game to determine the winner.
