Games Like Liar's Poker

Play the cards. Play the players.

You see your own hand and nothing else. On your turn you claim that a hand, say a pair of Kings or a full house, exists somewhere among all the cards at the table. Every claim has to beat the last one. Believe it and raise, or call it a lie. Then every hand turns over and the table counts.

Get it wrong and you take a card. Reach six and you're out. Last player standing wins.

Anyone can call liar, at any moment

You don't wait for your turn to challenge. The bid two seats away sounds too good? Call it. That is what keeps all four players watching every claim, not just their own.
