About Cheat
Cheat is the card game where lying is allowed – as long as nobody catches you. You take turns playing 1–4 cards face down and saying what they are: first aces, then twos, then threes and on up to kings. If you don’t have the right cards, you have to cheat. But if the others don’t believe you, they can shout “Cheat!”.
On GameBase, the TV becomes the card table with the pile, the claim and a countdown, while every player has their cards on their phone and a big Cheat button. You can also play on one iPad: it hides the cards between turns, and there’s a Cheat button at each player’s place around the screen.
It’s a game of poker faces, giggles and fake smiles. The first player to get rid of all their cards wins – but watch out when you play your last card.
How to play
- Choose TV + phones or One screen. Everyone gets the same number of cards.
- When it’s your turn, you play 1–4 cards face down and say they are the value shown on the TV.
- Don’t believe a claim? Tap Cheat! before time runs out.
- If it was a lie, the liar takes the whole pile. If it was true, the player who called cheat takes the pile.
- The first player with no cards left in their hand wins.
