Rules

Here are the basic rules for playing Mia (Mäxchen/Meiern):

1. Players: 2 or more players.

2. Equipment: Two six-sided dice and a dice cup.

3. Objective: Be the last player to not lose all your lives.

4. Setup:

   • Decide on the number of lives each player starts with (typically 3-5).
   • Determine the first player randomly.

5. Gameplay:

   • The first player rolls the dice in secret using the cup.
   • They announce a value, which can be:
     • The actual roll
     • A higher value than what they rolled
     • The same value as the previous player's announcement
   • The dice are passed to the next player, who can:
     • Accept the announced value and roll
     • Challenge the previous player's announcement

6. Scoring:

   • Dice values are read as two-digit numbers, with the higher number first.
   • 21 is the highest roll (called "Mia" or "Mäxchen").
   • Next highest are doubles: 66, 55, 44, 33, 22, 11.
   • Then come other numbers: 65, 64, 63, etc., down to 31.

7. Challenging:

   • If a player challenges and the previous player lied, the previous player loses a life.
   • If the challenge is incorrect, the challenging player loses a life.

8. Losing:

   • A player who loses all their lives is out of the game.
   • The last player with lives remaining wins.

9. Variations:

   • You can drink when you lose a life
