What is Liar's Dice?
Each player rolls five dice and peeks at them in secret. On your turn, bid how many of a face are on the whole table; the next player must either raise the bid or call "liar". On a challenge everyone reveals: if the bid was right the challenger loses a die, otherwise the bidder does. The last player with dice wins.

Rules of Liar's Dice
These rules always apply at our tables.
- Start
- everyone rolls five dice and peeks at their own. Nobody can see anyone else's.
- Bidding
- on your turn, bid how many of a face there are on the whole table. Each bid must raise the count, or keep the count with a higher face.
- Liar
- instead of bidding, you may challenge the last bid. All the dice are shown: if the bid was right the challenger loses a die, and if it was wrong the bidder does.
- Next round
- whoever lost a die starts the new bidding (or the next player, if they have no dice left). Everyone still in rerolls their dice.
- Winning
- the last player with dice left wins.
Optional rules
You choose these when opening a table.
- Ones are wild
- 1s count as any face that is bid. When switching the bid to 1s, the count must be at least half the old one (rounded up); when switching from 1s to another face, it must be more than double.
