There's a game that I've played with friends since I was about 13, and it's called B.S. It has several names though, so you might know it as Cheat, Bluff, I Doubt It, or various other names. Anybody ever played?

My friends and I used to bet with quarters and dimes.

Not sure if we can curse on this forum, but if you mean bullsh**, yes I know that game. It's pretty fun especially with a lot of people. The main focus of the game is to bluff your way through, isn't it?

I remember learning to play BS on a school trip on the bus. We used to play at sleepovers and in study hall back in middle school because we felt so "mature" using the word.

Ah, we love to play BS here! Though we don't play with stakes, just for fun. It's a great (adult) party game.

Well Im not sure if things have changed over the years, but below is how I remember to play the game. Though I did just look real quick on a google search and there are many variations to it. Also, you can play this in a great many ways for points, items your friends have that you want to "borrow" and so on, very fun adult game (more fun I should say when you are over 18).

This is the one I know:

Step 1:
Sit three to 10 people around a table making sure that everyone has easy access to the center of the table where the pile will form.

Step 2:
Deal out all the cards to the players face down. It is unlikely that all the players will have the same number of cards, but it should only vary by one and it is more important to have all the cards dealt than have an even number of cards.

Step 3:
Start with the player who has the two of clubs. This player then places any number of cards (at least one of which is the two of clubs) into the pile face down. Saying how many cards and the rank, such as, "two twos."

Step 4:
Play continues counter-clockwise with each player placing cards face down in the pile, claiming that they continue in order. So the second person would claim to place down a certain number of threes, the third person would claim to place down a certain number of fours and so on. Once you get to king, you start with ace and go up again.

Step 5:
Understand that this is a game of bluffing, so if it is your turn to place down sixes and you don't have any, you simply take a different card or two or three and lie as you put them into the pile, saying, "two sixes."

That's right, but you forgot the most important part! When a player lays down the cards claiming that it's for example "two two's", but you think they're lying, you can yell out, "BS!" and then the player has to flip over the cards to show what they are. If the cards are what the player claimed they were, the person who yelled "BS" has to take all the cards in the pile. If the player was bluffing, he has to take all the cards in the pile.

It's such a fun game! I learned to play at a friend's house a few years back but they were calling it Dead Man's Bluff. It's a lot of fun, and it can be a game for all ages if you simply change the name of the game.
