Cheating Allowed!
Cheating is forbidden? Not in this cheeky card game! In this case, by cleverly discarding and skilfully cheating you strive to be the first player to get rid of all your cards. A fairly simple task if not for the GUARD BUG!
On a turn, a player places one card from their hand onto the discard pile; that card must be numbered exactly one higher or lower than the card on top of the discard pile. If a player can't play a card, they draw one from the deck and their turn ends.
There's another way to rid yourself of cards, though: cheating! Throughout the round, you can make cards disappear by dropping them on the floor, hiding them up your sleeve and so on. You must keep your hand of cards above the table at all times, you can't vanish more than one card at once, and you can't rid yourself of your final card this way. The player with the guard bug can call out other players for cheating, and no one can cheat while the accusation is being resolved. If the accusation was false, the Guard must draw a card; otherwise the cheating player takes back the card they tried to lose, is given a card from the Guard's hand as additional punishment, and becomes the new Guard.
