A bluffing game where everyone plays their cards face down while calling their rank: the first to empty their hand wins, as long as nobody has caught them lying.
Menteur is played with a deck of fifty-two cards, dealt out in full. On their turn, each player puts one to four cards face down in the middle of the table, claiming they are all of the expected rank: aces, then twos, then threes, and so on up to kings, before starting over.
The rank is never chosen: the sequence sets it. A player who doesn’t have the right card must therefore play something else and claim otherwise — and that is the whole game.
Anyone can make an accusation, not just the next player: as soon as a call is made, everyone can shout “Liar!”. The cards are then turned over. If there was a lie, the liar picks up the whole pile; if not, the accuser picks it up.
Every accusation costs a bullet, and each player has only three. A correct accusation gives the bullet back, a wrong one loses it. So you can’t suspect everyone: you have to pick your moment, read the hesitations and remember the cards that have already gone by.
On Skydo, Menteur is played between humans: bluffing against a program would make little sense. Create a table and share its code with your friends, or open it to the public lobby so that other players can join you. Everything happens in the browser, with nothing to install and no account.
The server deals and referees: a card played face down is not sent to any browser until it is turned over. So nobody can peek under the pile, even by digging through the inner workings of their page.
