I used to pay Cheat, but haven't in a long while.

One tip, though:  when there is only one type of card in the stack, and
you have that kind in your hand, always accuse them of cheating.  There
is a benefit to being right, but no penalty for being wrong.

there is a penalty for being wrong: you get the pile!

But if you're wrong, the only cards in the pile are cards you already
have in your hand, and since you can play all of them at once, there is
no difference between having one or all four of any given card.

Maybe an example will make this clear.

Suppose you have a seven in your hand, and on an empty stack, another
player puts down "two sevens."  If you accuse them and are wrong, you
get the pile, which consists only of two sevens, but since you already
have a seven, it really hasn't affected your hand.  If you're right, you
get np and they get their cards back.

If you clear a set you get another turn.

Good point.

?? I'm not sure what you mean here.  I have never gotten two turns in a
row in Cheat.

If you drop 4 of a kind you get to go again IIRC.

I just went back and played a few rounds, but dropping 4 of a kind
doesn't give you an extra turn. :-(

Hmm. OK.  OH. Wait, thats another game.  Let me go check..
Go!Go!Go!

I just did the same thing.  I was sure it was Cheat, but as I typed it in, I
realized that it had to be GoGoGo, because Cheat is cards face down to hide
the Cheating, and GoGoGo is cards face up so you can see the set of 4 that
clears the deck giving you another turn.
