Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The classic game of bluffing. Includes 4 plastic dice shakers, 20 dice and dice storage bag. All come packed in handsome wood die package.

Product Description

Inspired by Dudo, an Incan dice bluffing game, Liar's Dice is a fun and easy way to enjoy countless hours with friends and family. Said to have been passed down by King Atahualpa to Spanish conquistador Pizarro, Liar's Dice has entertained generations of people and will surely entertain for generations to come. Liar's Dice is known as Dudo or Perudo in South America.

Players attempt to outbid, outbluff and outlast their opponents. Make your "bid" and then bluff your opponents into "calling you" or placing a higher "bid." The last player with a die wins.

Dice-themed display box comes with four wooden shakes and 20 die. When you're not playing, the display box functions as a handsome home d?cor piece. For two to four players.

After receiving the product and opening it I found that it was not quite what they had pictured in the advertisement. First the shakers look like something a 6 year old made in art class. They look more like a clay change holder then a dice shaker. where as the picture look to me like standard 3 inch oval shakers. Then their are dice themselves they are so small that the 6 side is almost completely blacked out with dots. The only cool thing about this game is the giant Dice carrying case thing.

Lots of fun for the whole family. Even the little ones enjoy this. I bought this game for my own family. The wife and kids went to a friends house, who liked it so much they kept it! So of course I immediately bought another one. Liar's Dice was popularized in the Pirates of the Caribbean movie, but it has nothing really to do with pirates or movies. It's just a dice game. Easier for the little ones to play than poker. Much fun. Highly recommended.

Liar's Dice is a fantastic game that can be played with up to 4 people. I purchased this game for a friend after we played it with two of the actors at the MD Renaissance Festival over lunch. The game doesn't take up much space and it can be played anywhere where there is a flat surface. The point of the game is to decide how many of dice of a particular face value are on the table at a given time and then determine who is bluffing and who actually has the dice to back up their claim.
The rounds are short and it can easily be adjusted for 'house rules' if you don't like the rules that come with it.

The game you see pictured is not actually how the game comes. When we opened the container for the game we played, 2 of the dice were poorly inked and the cups were the imitation-clay version that look like small cups. The ones pictured in the image here look much better. The cups we got fit inside each other so that they are easy for transport and storage, which is really the only difference.

Even though it was not as pictured, we loved the game and the inconsistency of the image did not detract from the fun we have playing the game.
