I played I Doubt with three other players. The mechanism of this game is trick-taking. You can find the game at https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/15832/cheat

I was the first one falsely called out on someone bluffing, and drew around 20 cards at once. However, it is not too bad as I expected. I was almost able to discard cards for every turn because I have such a variety of cards. My memory part got really messed up after the cards being redrawn and discarded a couple times. I felt nervous and tried to manage my tone when I bluff and make it not very obvious. However, I failed because someone bluffed first and remained uncaught, so she clearly knew there were many cards. I did not win the game but it was pretty fun.

Here is our session report:
