Quoted from zacaj:Liars Dice. Some sort of dice gambling game from the movie. I got to it once but didn't understand how to play. It was cool though, you could wager treasure and gold, etc
Liars Dice is fun once you understand it, but it is a game of chance. It shows one die with a value on it and your hand of dice. You have to bid how many dice there are in both hands that have the value of the one die shown. You can bid or call someone a liar if you think they bid too high. It's a game of chance since you don't know what the computer has in his hand.
Example:
Die shown is a 2
Your dice hand has a 2, 2, 4, 2, 6 in it. Opponents hand is unknown. You know for a fact there are at least 3 2's since you have 3 in your hand. You could bet 3 and be safe if called a liar. You could bet 4 hoping that your opponent has at least one 2 in his hand. When you bid, the opponent either has to outbid you (in this case 3 3's or more) or call you a liar. When someone is eventually called a liar, both hands are revealed and you either win the prize you bet originally or you lose it.
Example:
You wager an extra ball. If you win, you get a EB for winning, but if you lose...you lose your ball so that ball ends right there immediately and you move onto your next ball if you have one, otherwise the game is over. High stakes for big rewards.
Quoted from TRC73:Houdini has a couple of them, I think.
It has only one, but it’s a pretty good one, and fully a game of skill, you can’t memorize it, etc.
