liar’s dice

a drinking game for two or more players. it is a quick game, but is best played with less than 7 players. it is played with two dice and a large plastic cup (24 oz or more).
play starts with player 1 who shakes the dice in a cup then turns the cup over onto the table. player 1 peeks at the dice. the dice make a number and player 1 tells the next player that number, reading the highest number first. player 2 can believe player 1, but must beat that number with his/her own number. player 2 then shakes the cup and tells a higher number to player 3 – even if player 2 does not get a higher number. the game is “liar’s dice”, remember).
the game goes in one direction and continues until either the player with the dice is caught in a lie, or the player who calls it a lie is incorrect.
a pre-determined amount of alcohol is consumed by the “loser”. play resumes quickly.
(see mexican liar’s dice for neat game variation)
liar’s dice is played like this:
player 1: (shake, sees a 3,4) “forty-three”
player 2: ok. (shake, sees a 4,5) “fifty-four”
player 3: um, ah…ok. (shake, sees a 5,5) “sixty-one”
player 4: bullsh-t! (player 4 lifts cup exposing player 3’s 5,5)
so, player 3 sheepishly chugs some pre-defined quant-ty of alcohol.
player 4 re-starts the game.
