Never Have I Ever rules
Objective
No winner. The fun is the reveal and the stories that follow it.
Rounds
- Each turn, a new statement is dealt to the whole room automatically.
- Every player answers I have or I have not within 14 seconds. Answers stay hidden until everyone is in or the clock ends.
- The reveal shows who has done it. Any player in the round can move to the next card.
Heat, rounds and the deck
- Pick a heat level when you open the lobby: Tame, Warm or Explicit. Decks written only for adults start at their lowest stocked heat, so a hand is never empty.
- Choose Endless, or a fixed 5, 10 or 20 rounds. A round ends when every player has had a turn.
- No card repeats inside a match. When the deck runs dry it reshuffles.
- Pass is always allowed: it skips the card and hands the turn on. Consent first, every time.
Lobbies, turns and timers
- Open a lobby, choose your options, then share the invite link or the 8-character room code. Invite-only lobbies stay closed to anyone you did not invite.
- Turns run on a 45-second clock. When it lapses, the turn passes so the room never stalls.
- Leave whenever you like. The host can end the match at any point, and a finished lobby reopens with the same seats for a rematch.
Strategy and tips
- Classic house rule: anyone who has, drinks. Optional, obviously.
- The best follow-up question is always "when?"
