How to Play
- The objective of the game is to be the last player with dice remaining by successfully bluffing or challenging other players' bids.
1. Rolling Dice
- At the start of each round, all players roll their 3 dice in secret, keeping their dice hidden from others.
2. Bidding
- The first player makes an opening bid, stating a quantity and a face value (e.g. "three 4s"). This bid represents their claim that there are at least that many dice showing that face value among all players' dice combined.
Note: Ones (1s) are jokers and count as any face value unless the first bid is on ones, in which case ones are only counted as ones for that round.
3. Subsequent Bids
- Play proceeds clockwise and each player must make a higher bid than the previous one by either increasing the quantity of dice for any face value, or keeping the quantity the same but increasing the face value.
4. Challenging a Bid
- Instead of bidding, a player may challenge the previous bid by calling "liar" or "bluff."
- All players then reveal their dice.
- Count the number of dice showing the face value of the last bid, including ones (jokers).
- If the actual count is equal to or greater than the bid, the bidder wins; the challenger loses one die.
- If the actual count is less than the bid, the challenger wins; the bidder loses one die.
5. Losing Dice and Eliminations
- The player who loses the challenge removes one die from their set.
- If a player loses all their dice, they are eliminated from the game.
6. Starting the Next Round
- The player who won the challenge in the previous round starts the bidding in the next round.
7. Winning
- The game continues until only one player has dice remaining. That player is the winner.
Additional Notes
- Players must keep the value their dice hidden (hide the screen of your phone) except when a challenge is called.
- The game is best played with 3 or more players.
