"Hi my name is Windy St. George and this is how to play Mexican Dice. Mexican Dice is a form of Liar's Dice. Often it is played as a drinking game or even called Mexican Drinking Dice. It is played with two dice. The first player puts the two dice in the cup and they roll and they carefully shield what they roll and dump it and they look at the numbers and they cover it so that nobody else knows what the numbers are. You could actually also play where you roll and then you don't even look at what you have. In either case you announce what your roll was and then you pass the cup clockwise to the next player. The next player doesn't look at the number. The next player either accepts what the first person said or they challenge it. If they challenge it then they look and see if the numbers are what the person said. If the numbers are lower in value then what the person said, the first person who made the claim loses but if they're equal or greater in value then the person who makes the challenge loses. If the person doesn't want to challenge they just accept it and then roll the dice themselves again and then pass it on. You can also just accept it and instead of rolling the dice again and making a claim about the value and passing it on you could not look at the dice and make a claim that would be higher in value than the previous person's claim and then it is gently passed so the dice are undisturbed to the next player around the circle. It goes around in such fashion until it has been challenged at which time a round ends. The scores for it are Mexican which is the highest score which is a 2 1. Also when someone is making a claim they could just claim that they have Mexican which is the highest number possible. The next person after them must challenge if it's a Mexican or claim it to still be a Mexican and pass it on to the next person. They could roll it instead but they must claim that it is Mexican even though it's not and pass it on to the next person who is ready to challenge. The highest you can get in Mexican which is 2 1 followed by doubles which would be 6 6 , 5 5, 4 4, 3 3, 2 2, 1 1 and then singles starting with 6 which would be 6 6, 5 5, 4 4, 3 3, 2 2, 1 1 and then followed by singles starting with 6 so 6 5, 6 4, 6 3, 6 2, 6 1, 5 4, 5 3, 5 2, 5 1, 4 3, 4 2, 4 1, 3 2, and then 3 1 which would be the lowest roll that you could get. If you play this as a drinking game every time you lose a challenge you have to take a drink and that's how you play Mexican Dice."
