# 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
