Answer 1

Liar's dice (liar dice) is a name for a class of dice games for two or more players. A common feature of all Liar's Dice games is that each player in turn must either make a higher bid (or claim) than the previous player, or challenge the previous players' bid as too high.

While many variations exist, they generally fall into one of two major categories: "common hand" games, where all players are bidding on the group's collection of dice while only seeing their own portion of it, and "individual hand" games, where each player makes claims only about their own dice. These major variants are different enough to be considered separate games but unfortunately both have come to be known as "Liar's Dice."

It is easy to learn, requires minimal equipment, and can be played as a gambling or drinking game. Playing this game well requires the ability to deceive and to detect an opponent's deception. Liar's dice is known as Dudo or Perudo in South America. The game has also been marketed under the name, Call My Bluff, winning the 1993 Spiel des Jahres and Deutscher Spiele Preis awards. In Germany, Liar's Dice as a gambling game is called "Mäxchen"; the equivalent drinking game is sometimes called "Mexicali" or "Mexican" in the United States (see below). Given the similar pronunciations of these two German and English words, it is likely that the name of the one game derives from the name of the other.[citation needed] Whether the German or English version was the original, however, is less clear.

I think it's this one. Hence there could not possibly be 12 fives on the board

Answer 2

i think its kinda like the game "bull ****" (BS) only u use dice and u say how many of a certain number of dice u have...like if u have two "5" one the dice, but u said that u had eight "5" and the other people have to guess if your telling the truth or not
u win by having the most of something:
*example*
first player has: four "2"
second player has: eight "4"
third player has: six "3"
the second player would win!

i hope that made sense...i was kinda getting confused myself!!

Answer 3

No I was trying to figure it out myself. William said it was a game of deception so I think it has something to do with tricking the people you're playing with as to what you have under your cup.

Answer 4

Sorry, I don't. I was kinda wondering the same thing.......
