I’m new to playing Liar’s Bar and I’m confused about how the starting card distribution works. When we begin a new round, how many cards does each player get dealt initially? I’ve seen different people play it different ways and I want to make sure I understand the correct rules.
Also, does the dealer get the same number of cards as everyone else, or do they get a different amount? I tried looking this up but found conflicting information online. Can someone who knows the game well explain the proper way to handle the first deal?
I’ve been playing Liar’s Bar for a while - it’s 6 cards per player, dealer included. Everyone gets the same amount. People probably get confused because of house rules or they’re thinking of other bluffing games. Some groups use 5 cards but 6 is official. Just agree on the number before dealing.
Everyone starts with 6 cards, including the dealer. That’s how it’s typically played. Sure, some folks might mix up the rules at home, but 6 cards is pretty standard. Once you get used to it, the game picks up pace pretty quickly.
