About Liar’s Dice
Liar’s Dice is an old dice game that’s also known as Perudo or Dudo. Every player has five dice under a cup and can only see their own. You take turns bidding on how many dice of a certain kind there are on the whole table in total, for example four fives.
The next player must either bid higher – more dice, or the same number of a higher kind – or call “Liar!”. Then all the dice are revealed and counted. If there were at least as many as the bid, the player who called liar loses a die. Otherwise the bidder loses one. The last player with dice left wins.
If you’re playing on one iPad, you pass it on after every bid and hold a button to peek at your own dice. With TV + phones, every player has their dice on their phone, while the TV shows the table, the bids and the big count when someone calls liar.
How to play

- Look at your own dice and bid a number and a kind for the whole table.
