How to play Liar's Dice
- 1Everyone rolls their dice and can only see their own.
- 2In turn you raise the bid on how many dice of a face are on the whole table.
- 3Call Dudo to open everything up: whoever was wrong loses a die, and running out means you are out.
Full Liar's Dice rules
The basics
- •Everyone starts with 5 secret dice, re-rolled every round.
- •Players bid on how many dice of one value exist on the WHOLE table — e.g. "four 3s".
- •On your turn: raise the bid, call Dudo (doubt), or call Calza (exactly right).
Bidding
- •A raise increases the quantity, or keeps it and increases the face value.
- •Aces (1s) are wild — they count for every value.
- •Bidding aces: you may halve the quantity (rounded up). Coming back from aces: double it plus one.
Dudo & calza
- •Dudo: all dice are revealed. If the bid was too high, the bidder loses a die; otherwise you do.
- •Calza: claim the bid is EXACTLY right. Correct → you regain a die. Wrong → you lose one.
- •The player who lost a die starts the next round.
Palifico & winning
- •When a player drops to their last die, the next round is Palifico: aces are not wild and the face value is locked.
- •No dice left = eliminated. Last player with dice wins.
- •Tip: about 1 in 3 dice matches any bid (thanks to wild aces). Do the math!
Tips to win at Liar's Dice
- •Do the maths: each die has a 1 in 3 chance to count for a bid (its face or an ace). With 15 dice on the table, expect about five of any face.
- •Start from your own dice: if you hold three fours, bidding fours is far safer than any other face.
- •You can lie: bidding a face you do not have pushes the next player to raise on a false base and to doubt the wrong person.
- •Save Calza for when the bid sits right at the expected count: it is the only move that wins a die back.
- •In a Palifico round aces stop being wild and the odds drop to 1 in 6: call Dudo earlier than usual.
