Game rules
Preparation: 3 or more people, a deck of 52 playing cards, no jokers required. J, Q, and K are all wild cards and can replace any point. After the cards are shuffled and dealt out, players can look at their own cards; the player holding the 3 of clubs starts first.
- The starting player chooses a point number for this round from A or 2 to 10, puts 1 to 5 cards face down in the center, and announces the number and points, such as "Two 7s". The player may be telling the truth or bluffing.
- Any player can question the move before the next move is made. If no one questions, the next person will also play 1 to 5 cards and declare the same number.
- On a challenge, reveal only the cards just played. Every card with the same number as the declared value, as well as all J, Q, and K, are considered consistent; as long as one of them does not match, the entire hand is considered a lie.
- When it is declared false, the player takes away all the cards in the middle and accepts one unit; when it is declared true, the challenger takes away all the cards and accepts one unit.
- If the challenge is successful, the questioner will start a new round; if the challenge fails, the original player will start a new round. In the new round, re-select A or a point from 2 to 10.
- After the last move is made, others still have to be given a chance to question; only when the check is passed or no one questions it is considered passed. The person who still has cards in hand at the end loses.
Example: When 7 is announced in this round, 7, J, Q, and K can all be regarded as 7; if the previous hand was 7, Q, 4 and "three 7s" are announced, revealing the cards still shows that the claim was false.
