Lies I Voted For

The party game for anyone who's ever yelled at the news. Win by being the funniest person at the table, or the one who actually knows what happened.

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln could never tell a lie. George Washington could.

George Washington
So how does it work?

Every card is a true story.
Most of the answers are chaos.

Each red card is a true (or famously false) story turned into a fill-in-the-blank. The real answer is printed upside down at the bottom, waiting for its big moment.

1

Setup

  1. Shuffle the red and white cards into two separate piles. Set the Truth/Lie cards aside (they'll get their moment).
  2. Deal everyone 7 white cards.
  3. The first judge is whoever most recently posted a political meme in the family group chat. You know who you are. The judge passes to the left each round.

Playing a round

  1. The judge reads a red card aloud. No peeking at the upside-down reveal.
  2. Everyone else plays 1 or 2 white cards face down. Two cards get read together as one answer.
  3. The judge shuffles the answers, reads them all out loud (straight-faced, if humanly possible), and picks the best.
  4. The judge flips the red card upside down and reads the reveal.

The bet: 1 card or 2?

Playing two is a bigger swing. Choose wisely.

You playedPickedNot picked
1 cardKeep it (+1). Draw 1.Discard it. Draw 1.
2 cardsKeep both (+2). Draw 2.Discard both. Draw only 1, so your hand shrinks. Bold strategy.

Your hand never drops below 3 cards. If it would, draw back up to 3.

Run a mock election

Your move, history buff.

Six real cards straight from the deck. Tap whichever answer feels right (or just funniest), see how history shakes out, then move on to the next question.

4 · The reveal: Truth/Lie cards

Two ways to score.
One way to get roasted.

Being hilarious wins rounds. Actually knowing what happened wins a little extra.

Abraham Lincoln
Truth

Truth

If any card you played matches the TRUTH line, take a Truth/Lie card and set it Lincoln-side toward you. It's worth +1, even if the judge didn't pick you. Honest Abe sees you.

George Washington
The Lie

The Lie

Myth cards also have a LIE line. If you played the lie, take a Truth/Lie card and set it George-side toward you. It's worth nothing, and the table gets 10 seconds to roast you.

If the TRUTH line lists more than one answer, any of them counts. Judge's Call cards have no right answer: funniest wins, that's it.

Abraham Lincoln on one half, George Washington on the other.

5 · Winning (and the house rules)

How to get sworn in.

Your score = the white cards you've kept + your Lincoln-side Truth/Lie cards. First to 10 wins (4–7 players). First to 7 wins (8–10 players). If the white pile runs out, shuffle the discards back in. Red cards are never reused in the same game. The winner is sworn in; the loser becomes the next game's Secretary of Paperwork: shuffling, dealing and cleanup.

House rule

Roast everyone equally. Every party, every president, every billionaire.

House rule

No phones. Googling the answer is rigging the election.

House rule

The judge is final. Appeals go to the Supreme Court, which is also the judge.
