How to Play Liar's Dice

Video Transcript

"You ever at home with some friends and wanted a fun game to play? My name is Dean Hale, and I'm going to teach you how to play liar's dice. What you do is you get a group of friends, a minimum of two people up to ten, and you're going to have five dice per person with a cup. Everybody's going to roll their dice at the same time. Keep it on the table with the cup covering the dice. The first person is going to then look at the dice and try to see guess, from what they have and what everybody else has they make a bid. Let's say you have two twos in your dice. You may say I bid five twos. You're counting your twos, and all the other possible twos that are on the table. It would then pass around to the next person, and they could either up that bid and say three twos, four twos, or they could change the denomination and they could go with fours and they could make a bid with fours. Let's say they say four fours. It then goes around to a point where anybody in the group thinks somebody's actually lying and there's not a possibility of that being out there they would then call a stop. Everybody would pull up their cups and they would count. If the person that that actually said there were say five fours out there was lying, and there was only actually four they would then lose one die from their five. If there actually had the four fours or more the person that actually called them a liar would actually lose a dice. And what happens is as it goes around as you get called liar or you get caught you get one dice pulled out. The play continues until only one player has dice remaining and that would be the winner of liar's dice. So, when you're playing don't get caught lying. My name's Dean Hale."
