Liar Poker
2 - 8 players
From BoardGameGeek
Similar to Liar's Dice and also known as Poker Menteur, the game is played with a standard poker deck of 52 cards, with jokers as wildcards. A player is dealt five cards, and names a poker hand that can be formed with it (eg. "pair of kings", "royal flush"). They may lie. The next player chooses to challenge or accept - if they challenge, the hand is revealed and the loser of the challenge take a penalty point. If they accept, they take the hand, discard 0-4 cards and draw replacements, and then make a call as previously. The game continues until a player reaches a pre-agreed number of penalty points, at which point they are declared the loser and the game ends.
