From Endless Games, the Cheater Card Game provides players with a unique challenge. It's the only game where you are not only allowed, but encouraged to cheat. Players roll the dice, hoping to spell C-H-E-A-T-E-R in one of four color suits and win the game. The player that rolls doubles becomes the "Cheater" and gets to play by his or her own rules. This dice card game can be played by kids and adults alike

Cheater is a Rummy type game with one person having special powers. There are 4 suits of cards with the letters C, H, E, A, T, R on them. With 7 cards in hand the goal is to acquire the cards to spell CHEATER in one suit (color). There are also special cards that allow you to search and take a card from someone else's hand, expose a players hand to all, make a player discard a variable amount of cards from their hand and protect you from other special cards. On your turn you roll 2 dice then draw a card then discard a card. Special cards are used when you discard them. If you roll doubles you become the Cheater, of which there is only one at a time, which allows you to do one of the following in lieu of your normal turn.
