Liars Dice Rules

LIAR'S DICE - GAME RULES

• Starting player is decided at random

• After a starting player is decided, everybody's dice are rolled. You can only see your dice.

• First player makes a 'bid' by stating a quantity and a face value of the dice. They are making a guess as to how many of a specific dice are in play.

  • E.g 'Four sixes', the player is guessing that there are four or more sixes in play

• A 'one' is a wild card and counts for any number

  • E.g Three sixes and a one will count as four sixes

• Play then moves to the next person (clockwise) who makes their bid

• Bids must be increased by the next player, either by

  • Bidding the same quantity of a higher face value

    • E.g Four sixes -> next player -> Five sixes

  • Bidding a higher quantity of any face value

    • E.g Four sixes -> next player -> Six twos

• When a bid has been made, any player around the table can 'challenge' the previous person's call. You only have a few seconds to challenge.

• If somebody challenges a bid, all the players' dice are revealed. The dice are then counted up (including any ones, as they are wild cards).

  • E.g Player 1 bids 'Five fives'

  • Player 3, before player 2 makes their bid, says 'Challenge'

  • All players' dice are revealed

  • All fives and ones are counted (ones are wild cards)

  • If there are five or more fives/ones on the table, the challenge was unsuccessful

  • If there are fewer than five fives/ones on the table, the challenge was successful

• If the challenge is successful, player 1 who called 'five fives' would lose a die

• If the challenge is unsuccessful, player 3 who challenged player 1 would lose a die

• Gameplay resumes, starting at the person who lost a die and continuing clockwise

• If you lose all your dice, you are out of the game

• The winner is the last person with any dice
