Bluff about your dice or get caught drinking!

Equipment Needed

  • 5 dice per player
  • Cup per player
  • Drinks

Setup

Each player gets 5 dice and a cup. Roll secretly under your cup.

How to Play Liar's Dice

  1. Everyone rolls their dice secretly under a cup.
  2. First player makes a bid: "There are at least X dice showing Y" (total at the table).
  3. Next player must either: Raise the bid (more dice, or same dice with higher face), or call "Liar!"
  4. If "Liar" is called, everyone reveals. If the bid is true, caller drinks. If it's a lie, bidder drinks.
  5. Ones are wild (count as any number) unless someone bids "ones."
  6. Loser drinks based on how far off the bid was.

Tips & Strategies

Pay attention to what's been bid - it reveals information about hidden dice!

Variations
