The first variant you played is kind of dumb and I'm surprised you didn't see the game theory on it. Ideally, the first player will say a bid of a number of dice (X) that show the face value of 6. This is easily calculated by subtracting one from the number of 6's on average the other players have, then adding the 6's you currently have. So, if we're playing a four person game with your rules. The table will hold approximately 5 sixes. So, you subtract 1 and you get 4. Now you look under your cup and you see two sixes. You add this to the 4, and you say "Six Sixes". If you are challenged, odds are in your favor, if you're not, the second bidder will have to say 7 sixes, which is 50%/50%. The third player, has a disadvantage, the fourth, a massive disadvantage. Which is why people don't play this variant. :P

I prefer the variation where your can increase the face value AND/OR the amount, but you can't lower the amount. So for example for example: four 5s can't be followed by one 6, but by five 2s
@D33r_Hunt3r_ 2 роки тому
Yeah, the way they do it seams very weird. It basically makes 6s the only thing that matter.
@giustinosuarez8711 2 роки тому
This is the method I prefer since it forces the amount of “activated” dice to consistently increase. When playing with a lot of people you quickly get answers like “10 fives”.
@MrSlothJunior 2 роки тому
I prefer the variation where you can only increase the amount, and the face value is just a variable, not anything important to the calls you can make. So for example: Four 5s can't be followed by four 6s. But it can be followed by five 2s.
@longc35 2 роки тому
Increasing the face value and/or the amount is the version I’m used to. With how they’re doing it the best strategy is just to immediately guess a low number of sixes relative to however many dice are left in the game.

The script writing in the movie made it seem more exciting and tense than it is, but it is a very fun game. I was the DM for a homebrew D&D game. I had the Lawful Evil main villain meet the players in a situation where they couldn't act violently and challenged them to a game of liars dice for a favor. The players could use their stats to influence the game, like Bluff to enhance their actual poker face or Sleight of Hand to change a die. The players loved it.
@DangStank 2 роки тому
It was really clever to edit it so you only show the dice of the person who’s turn it is. That way we can see only the information they are working with while they make their move. The way they edited to show the tally after a call was also nice. Editor deserves a raise
@trickytreyperfected1482 2 роки тому

@havinfun44884488 2 роки тому
Your version makes it to where the 6's are highest. Once a 6 is said, you can only choose more 6s and not more quantities of lower value dice. The way I've played is you can either go up in value or quantity but can't go down in quantity. So if you say "four-fours", you can choose five or more quantity of whatever value you want (ie five-fours (quantity)) or you can go four-fives+(value) etc. You can not go from four-fours to three sixes (due to less quantity). That way, you can still apply pressure with values you know you have. Either way, it seemed fun with your rules too.
@sylle12 2 роки тому
There is a problem with the rules you used, and there is a set of far better rules: You played where the number can't go down, but the amount can. The problem with these rules is if your in a tough spot and the number is not 6, you can always say minimum 1-6. You will always have 1 die, so you could acually know for certain that it's there. Because of this it never makes sense to lift on anything but 6's. For example at 10:09, Brian shouldn't have called. His tactic souldn't be to make anyone lose dice, but instead try to keep his own. Had he said 4-6 (maybe 5-6 if he felt confident), the next lowest possible number he could have gotten was 7-6, which he can fairly safely call. That means someone is losing a die that round that is not him. The solution is to play where the amount can't go down, but the number can (if the smount is higher). That way if the amount get's high, you need to gamble, it means getting a lot of 6's dosn't make it to easy (because they are all that really matters) and truely need to gamble. This is also what we see in the video. Almost all the hands ends in 6's and a lot of times it is Annaliese that raise the amount to 6's. That's why she has far more dice near the end, where it matters alot (because it gives much more knowledge in the game)
@sylle12 2 роки тому
Then i would also add the rule is all your dice makes a straight ie. 4 dice = 1,2,3,4. It means you have all you have all your dice+1 as "wildcards". In the previous example you would have 5 "wildcards". That makes sure you are not nearly as screwed is you get to 1 die, because you only need a 1 to have 2 wilds. Overall is balances the game a bit better in my experience
@teamcybr8375 2 роки тому
Definitely agree with that version being used instead! Side note: I also love the house rule where instead of calling their bluff, you can say "I think there's _exactly_ that many" and if you're right everyone else loses a die. Big risk reward option!

@herrensaar1989 2 роки тому
I hinestly never played with their version or even heard of it that way. Because as you stated, inherently 6s are far supperior than the other values then: Taking away the lier part, and making it in to a game of luck and math. But if played with amount of dice can't go down, suddently four of a lower number, can suddently also be a good roll. And this makes the game very dynamic.
@Makenz 2 роки тому

@guskelly8634 2 роки тому
I always liked it playing liar's dice where in addition to calling or changing the amount, you could also say the previous bid was spot on. If it turned out to be the exact amount you would either get a die back or everyone else would lose one, depending on which rules you played with. I can't remember the penalty if it wasn't the exact amount, but it was harsh enough to usually take you out of the game then and there.
@teamcybr8375 2 роки тому
I play with that rule and we always played it that getting that guess wrong was the same as getting any other guess wrong: you lose one die. The downside is that you make it a lot easier to screw yourself, since if there's more than enough to fulfill the bet you lose your die too. The odds of being right are a lot lower, so your odds are longer.
@no1noone34 Рік тому
Yeah, remember playing this in Red Dead 1, the spot on call was a really useful thing. And it adds more to the "Liar" part becouse you should evade speaking the truth.
@the_Googie 3 місяці тому
We have that rule. When u win a spot-on, you get a maximum of two dice back, if u lose it, you lose 2 dice (u are usually screwed at that point). If u already have 5 dice, and u win a spot-on, everyone loses one (except you)

This is interesting! I actually learned the game by the name of Perudo. The diffrence in the rules was that the number of dice in the bid never goes down.

Though we did use some different rules, we did not play with wild 1s, and when contesting bets we could call "BS" as in the video, however when contesting we could also call a "Spot on" and if the bet was exactly right, everyone would lose a dice except the contester, it was a high-risk high reward move that made some funny moments happen

The problem with this variation, and player count, is that the simplest winning method is, as soon as it's your bid, say "4 sixes". Or even 5, if you happen to have a few of them yourself. This means you're unlikely to be called, and the person before you, at minimum, has to bet 7 sixes, which is unlikely (or 8, 9, or more if you up it based on your roll). Even if the bid before you is one 1, you might as well, because you're almost guaranteed to make someone else lose a dice when you inevitably call the next time. It gets even easier as the count of dice goes down (in a game with only 4 dice, if you call 1 six with one yourself, with 3 players, the person before you needs to bet 3 sixes!) And this is so easy to understand, that it becomes the default strategy of players at a point, and it's no longer about careful lying and strategy, it's just luck. That's why you need to be able to decrease the face value while increasing the bid, but never decrease the bid count.

Love this game, at the start we played the same. But you can call bluff, raise bet or call exact. Successful exact call makes everyone else playing lose a die* unless it's not exact in which the player loses 1 die. I learned to play from RDR1

we use either plastic cups with the bottom cut out so it's easy to see your dice... or what a friend made. they took vinyl flooring titles and brads to make little cups that look like wood.

I played a version of this that only uses 5-8 dices and one cup (wich is easier to have around, like a yatzee set): - One player rolls the dices and places a bet (if there's 6+ players, limit the first bet to 2 or 3 faces so everyone gets to play). - The next player either calls the bluff or takes the cup by sliding it without changing the rolls and looks at it (seing if the player before bluffed or not, could also reroll directly without looking if feeling fancy.) - The player decides if he wants to reroll the dices (by shacking the cup back and forth on the table, not to reveal to other players the previous rolls) or up the bet without rerolling the dices. - (optional) People that lose stop playing until one player remains (last round is a bit stupid this way, better to make the losing one drink or something) A rule that was different is that the bet quantity could only go up by 1 at a time and not ever go down (for example if one bet is two 2s, the next can't be four 3s or 4s, only two 3+s or 3 of anything.) This opens up the possibility of not shaking the cup and passing without lying, and prolongs the game a bit. Knowing every turn if the previous player bluffed makes possible to make multi-turn mindgames, silent co-ops and other fun shenanigans like trusting the previous player and upping the bet without even looking. Changing seats every now and then makes it fairer and keeps it fresh. I played some crazy rounds of this and was actually pretty good at it.

Theres a Card varient of Liars Dice which I know of called BS (Full name). Rules are Simple, though again, there are a few other rulesets which change how you play but this was my families version. 1: A single deck of playing cards is delt between all players with a single Joker Card, the Joker Card is removed and that player is starting play... 2: The active player must play at minimum 2 Cards. Naming the Face Value of the cards placed down. Pairs, Triple or Set. Eg, 3 Queens. 3: The next player must play up or down the count from previous declared Value. In example, Queens were played, leaving the next player only able to play Jacks or Kings. Ace and Kings count as Up/Down from one another. 4: This continues until someone calls BS. This can be declared by ANY player, not just the next player in order. 5: IF the revealed cards ARE NOT the declared value, the whole discard pile and adds it to their hand. If it IS the declared value, the one that called BS picks up the discard pile. 6: Play continues until one player is left carrying the whole deck. Note: These rules ENCOURAGE the fact that you must play cards not of the same value, allowing for a more erratic game of calling BS at the top of your lungs. Some playrules allow for any value to be played or a single card. Which in my opinion breaks down the whole reason for playing the game itself. Next, yes, you may have noticed that because your only going up or down by one value, this might lead to some interesting issues, such as a play going like this. "2 3s, 4 4s, 2 3s, 2 4s" Who is BSing here, well tbh, thats the point of the game.

Played one or two of the variants a few times with friends both in person and online. Great little game you can just throw together real quick and really easy tog et people into. Also relatively low pressure. If you want to really play the numbers you can, or if you wanna just be ultra casual and call/raise on whims, you can do that too (and still have a good chance of winning in my friends case). Not sure about Brian's current beard style (but hey, to each their own), but good fun video to watch.

If you don't have enough dice, you can also play the german drinking game Mäxle. You just have two dice that you pass around. The value of the dice throw is to read them like a decimal number (so if you roll a four and a five, that's 54). If both dice show the same it's higher than the normal numbers and 21 is "Mäxle" which is the highest throw. You'll have to anounce a higher throw than the person before you or call them a liar. You have to be really good at bluffing in this game.
@hunterdavis9941 2 роки тому
Another really fun variation of this is Liar's Poker, where it's basically the same concept but with poker hands. However a fun thing I've found is everyone starts with only one card/die and when you lose you gain a die but when you get your 6th one you lose. It's a fun bit so self balancing since the more you lose the more info you get but it also gets more exciting as you call more and more ridiculous hands as the game goes on. Additionally, when someone gets knocked out it throws the whole thing into chaos since 5 cards just got taken out of the pool. I ended up playing that on a bunch of scout trips since you can play it without a table.

I used to play this game in the army in Israel. While we couldn't bet on years of servitude we did bet sometimes on shift hours. Btw usually you play when there is no way to lower the Amount you bet AND the Value of the die. There is one rule which sometimes people play with that allows you to cut the amount in half if you bet only on ones (if you play with the Wild Ones rule). That means the player that get cornered by a high bet that he does not want to contest can simply bet on the ones which is also risky but can sometimes really save you when you know you can't bet higher.

This was always our go to camping game. We’d play it for hours at night. We always played where if you said 4 4’s that was like saying 44. The next bid had to be higher, so 5 1’s (51) would be a viable bid. Less restrictive. But the version you played can get really competitive really fast.
@JackArcherX Рік тому
Way we've played it for years is by allowing either the value or the amount go down, but ONLY if the other goes up. I.e. five 3s could go into two 4s OR six 2s. That way you don't run into the issue of having someone force sixes and turning it into a waiting game. Plus, it also gives you a better view of the general puzzle to solve. We also, sometimes tend to add the Perudo variants: 1.- if someone bets on 1s/wilds, it has to be half the amount of dice from the previous bid (rounded up), then the other players can only change the value if they bet on double the amount of dice+1. I.e. four 6s to wilds would become two 1s. Later on, if the next player wants to change the value, that would go into five 2s 2.- Calza. If you think the player before you is right on the money on the amount, call Calza. If you're right, you recover one of your lost dice. If not, lose a dice as normal 3.- Palafico. Whenever anyone is left with a single dice, that player calls a dice value. The following round and for that round only, the 1s stop being wilds and the rest of the players can only increase the dice amount, but not the value. This is as a last chance catch up mechanism.
@BreakerBea 10 місяців тому
The one rule they didnt use, which is a rule that I love in liars dice is when you call "spot on" You make a bet, say five 5's, and then you call "spot on", then you all reveal your dice, and in order for spot on to work, it has to match the exact bet. So if theres EXACTLY five 5's on the board, then EVERYBODY loses a die except for the caller. I love that rule so much
@rwiersema 2 роки тому
We used to play this for rounds in the pub. Every so often we would play a blind round which adds a new dimension to it. We would also use a 6th die that would keep score instead of losing a die each round

Yooo, I've been teaching this to people for a couple years now. One of my favorite simple games! One word of advice if you want to use it as a drinking game (unless you wanna be REALLY drunk really quick) do it in rounda and the last person drinks of the first person does. It goes entirely too quick otherwise
@rodysummertje Рік тому
Ive learned it with the rule that if you up the amount you can lower the dice number. So if you have 5 sixes... you can top it by saying 6 fours. Much more fun

@imblackmagic1209 2 роки тому
in my family we have a fairly restrictive set of rules: 1) 1s are "aces" and are considered wild cards 2) if you gonna up the face, you can at most lower the amount by 1 (5 4s -> 4 5s), when changing to aces, you can half the amount rounded up (5 6s -> 3 1s) 3) you can go down the faces, if you up the amount by at least 1 (4 6s -> 5 4s), when changing from aces, you gotta double the amount (3 1s -> 6 2s) 4) when you call, you can: a) call liar, same as the video, if the face amount is higher than the bid, the caller loses 1 die, otherwise, the bidder loses 1. b) call match, if the bid is exactly equal to the face amount in the table, the caller regains 1 die, otherwise, the caller loses 1. (bidder is safe either case) here in Chile we call the game "cacho" or "dudo" and the rules change from group to group, but are fairly similar to what i exposed above, not all tables have the "match" call, not all tables play with 1 as wild cards either.
