Nottingham Students of 2005

but saving the cards might be hard to do. if they end up with just one card and put that down, then it prob is a cheat.

...hmm. im thinking in circles today.

Only works against the double bluffer, most ppl save a pair for the very end.

What do you mean save a pair for the very end? How can you know what card you're gonna need at the end? :confused:

Strategy is not my strongest point :redface:

Lol I'm crap at cheat although I do love the game! :biggrin:

I'm just not very good at lying and it shows on my face I think :redface:

I can never tell when someone's cheating or not either lol!

Although my friend did teach me a golden rule - always shout CHEAT when someone's laying down their last card! :biggrin:

I played cheat with Mark, and that was his strategy. So I put down about 6 cards and claimed every one was a 5. He only challenged on the last one, and I'd made sure that was a 5!

Ollie87, where in gods name are you coming from? The moon, an isolated island in polynesia or some wretched valley in Wales?

I'm a postgrad (read 22year old who can't face the prospect of work yet). I'll be studying Post- Genomic Technologies (DNA technology to the lay person) MRes. I'm yet to get a place in halls so anyone who wants to share a bed let me know.

About 6 cards and claimed they were all 5's? What, all at once or one by one? But there're only four 5's so surely he would've shouted cheat earlier on!

I put them down one at a time. Like I said "one 5" and he said "one 6" so I said "one 5" again. And then he challeneged on the last "one 5" which actually was!

The only way you could carry on putting down 5's without fail consecutively is if it's your go straight after his go, and then his go straight after your go. In other words, there's only 2 players. Or if my maths' gone haywire here, tell me (after all, I dropped Maths for a reason!).

So on the assumption that there were only 2 players, surely your bf could count and see if he's holding any 5's and deduce how many 5's you should have... You said there were about 6 cards - I personally would be suspicious by the 3rd time you say the same number I wouldn't wait til the last card.

Am I sounding just really stupid here? :confused:

I simply don't see how your bf couldn't have known you were cheating before the last card.

I usually lay the wrong cards at the start if I have the correct ones - e.g say "4 twos" but lay one of four different cards. That way you'll have twos later! Messes people up.

you want to convinvince every one else
that other people are cheeting before your go then you dont have to put down the cards!! voila
