Basic Rules
Object of Game
Bullsh!t is a card game for 4 players where the goal is to get rid of all your cards by deception, or catching other players' lies.
Gameplay
The game uses the standard 52 card deck with all cards distributed evenly to each player at the start.
The first player starts by declaring any number of Ace cards (example: Two Aces or Three Aces).
The next player needs to either: choose Bullsh!t (if they think the previous player is lying), or they can declare the next ranked cards.
For example: Player 1 first declared 2 Aces, Player 2 then declared 1 Twos. Following that, Player 3 chooses to declare 2 Threes.
Players can declare either a set of 1, 2, 3 or 4 of a card rank (2 Tens or 3 Tens, etc.)
The game continues until someone declares King cards, and the next card rank will loop back to Aces.
Calling Bullsh!t
Each time a player has declared their cards, any player in the game can call Bullsh!t if they think that player is lying about their declared cards.
If the player lied about their cards, that player will have to take all cards in the middle.
The player that called the correct Bullsh!t first will take over the turn, and the card being played will be the same rank as the card that was just called.
Ammo
When the Ammo game option is turned on, each player will be given 3 bullets at the start of the game.
The player that calls Bullsh!t first will use 1 bullet.
If that player called Bullsh!t correctly, they will get 1 bullet back to reload.
If the Bullsh!t call was wrong, that player will not get to reload.
When a player runs out of bullets, they will not be able to call Bullsh!t for the remainder of the game.
Endgame
The game ends as soon as 1 player gets rid of all their card and also if the next player doesn't call a Bullsh!t on them.
The player that discarded all their cards will be the winner. Other players will be ranked according to their number of remaining cards (the more cards, the lower the rank).
Can I play online?
Yes. Install the Plato app on iOS, Android, or macOS to play the full catalog with friends or matchmade opponents. You can also play Ocho online in your web browser — no install needed.
Can I play with friends?
Yep. Tap Create Private Game, then share the invite link or invite from your contacts. When they tap Accept, they're seated at your table.
Is it free?
Yes — free to play and ad-free. If you buy something, it's for looks (themes, profile flair), not power.
Is it fair?
Shuffles, deals, dice, and timers run on Plato servers, not your device. Everyone plays by the same rules and no one can peek at hidden information.
Is it safe?
You can block and report from profiles or chat. Public spaces use filters and human review. Some rooms use Chat Pass to deter spam, and privacy controls let you limit who sees you online.
Live vs. turn-based: what’s the difference?
Both are turn-taking; the difference is the clock. Live uses short timers for quick back-and-forth. Turn-based gives you longer — often up to 24 hours per move in games like Chess — so you can play at your pace.
