In any gambling game, bluffing is a necessary skill to have, but in Liar's Dice it is essential.
Liar's Dice is a gambling game where the object is to trick your opponent into thinking you have different dice then you claim. Calling your opponent's bluff is another key element of Liar's Dice.
Two different types of Liar's Dice exist: common hand and individual hand. Although there are two different versions of Liar's Dice, the two share similarities in terms of game play. Both involve five six-sided dice and a cup to conceal each player's roll. Player's make bids on their rolls and opponents either raise or challenge the standing bid.
Common hand Liar's Dice is played with five standard dice labeled 1-6 with 1 being a wild. Each player rolls their five dice and keeps them concealed from the remaining players. The first player opens the bidding with what he believes to be a minimum bet. For example, the player could make a bid of three 2s, claiming that among all dice there are at least three 2s or higher. The next player must either make a higher bid (three 3s or two 4s for example) or challenge the standing bid. If a player challenges, the dice are revealed. If the dice reveal an equal or higher value then the bid, the challenger loses and forfeits a die. On the other hand, if the challenger is correct, the bidder loses a die and a new round starts.
A player can also make an exactly correct bid, claiming the bid is exactly what the dice show. If that bid is correct, he gains a dice and loses one if he is incorrect. If a player loses all his dice, he is out of the game. The last remaining player is the winner of the game.
Individual hand Liar's Dice differs from common hand in that only one player at a time has the dice during their turn. Also, rather than standard 1-6 dice, individual hand uses poker-style dice which are labeled with A (Ace), K (King), Q (Queen), J (Jack), T (Ten) and 9 (Nine).
In this form of Liar's dice, the first player rolls all five dice then follows up with the initial bid. Differing from common hand, bids are made in terms of poker hands. For example, a player can bet from a singleton or a pair to a Full House or a Five-of-a-Kind.
After making the first bid, the player passes the cup to the player on the left who has to make a higher bid, or better, or roll as many dice as he or she chooses, creating a new outcome. If the player chooses to roll, he or she still must make a higher bid even if the roll is lower than the original. A player may also choose to challenge the bid in which the dice are revealed. If the dice show an equal or higher value to the bid, the challenger loses a life; each player has three lives. The last remaining player is the winner of the game.
Although your mother may have told you never to tell a lie, Liar's Dice requires a little fibbing here and there. Knowing the right time to challenge and to bluff your opponent is the only way to be the last one with all the dice at the end of the game. But don't worry, I won't tell your mother.
