Rules​

Here are the basic rules for playing Liar's Dice:

  1. Players: 2 or more players.

  2. Equipment: Each player needs five six-sided dice and a dice cup.

  3. Objective: Be the last player with dice remaining.

  4. Setup:

    • Each player starts with five dice in their cup.
    • Determine the first player randomly.

  5. Gameplay:

    • All players shake their cups and turn them upside down on the table, concealing their dice.
    • Players can look at their own dice secretly.
    • The first player makes a bid about how many dice of a certain value are on the table.
    • The next player can either:
      • Make a higher bid
      • Challenge the previous bid

  6. Bidding:

    • A bid consists of a quantity and a value (e.g., "four 3s").
    • To be higher, a bid must either:
      • Increase the quantity (e.g., "five 3s" is higher than "four 3s")
      • Keep the same quantity but increase the value (e.g., "four 4s" is higher than "four 3s")
    • Ones (1s) are wild and can represent any number.

  7. Challenging:

    • When a challenge is made, all players lift their cups.
    • If the bid is correct or underestimated, the challenger loses a die.
    • If the bid is overestimated, the bidder loses a die.

  8. Losing Dice:

    • Players who lose a die remove it from play.
    • When a player loses all their dice, they're out of the game.

  9. New Rounds:

    • After each challenge, all remaining players re-roll their dice and a new round begins.
    • The player who lost the previous round starts the bidding.

  10. Winning:

    • The last player with dice remaining wins the game.

  11. Variations:

    • Some versions use four dice per player instead of five.
    • In some variants, 1s are not wild but are the highest value.
