In the naughty card game Cheating Moth (Mogel Motte), cheating is not just allowed, it's often necessary to win. The goal is to get rid of all your cards before others. Each round starts with players getting eight cards. The oldest player gets the guard bug, which stays on the table. One card is turned face - up to start the discard pile. The cards are numbered 1 - 5. Most have just numbers, but some have special abilities that activate when in the discard pile or a player's hand. When a player runs out of cards, the round ends. Other players score 10 points for each Cheating Moth, 5 for each action card, and 1 for each number card. After as many rounds as there are players, the game ends, and the player with the lowest score wins.
