For those of you unfamiliar with Liar's Dice, here 's a brief description.

Liar's Dice is played by two (2) or more players. Each player has one (1) cup and starts with five (5) dice. The game is started by choosing a player who will be the first to "bid." After selecting said player, the first round begins by all players picking up their cup containing five (5) dice, shaking, and slamming the cup upside down onto the table, thus concealing all dice.

At this point, each player may look at his/her dice and contemplate the mathematical probability of all dice on the table, including their own. The player chosen before the game began then states the opening "bid." An example bid would be "3 fours." The action is then passed clockwise to the player sitting to the left of the starter. The second player may then do one of three things: raise the bid; call a bluff; or declare the bid spot-on.

After a bluff or a spot-on bid is called, all players reveal their dice, and total the number of dice showing the face that was bid on. The round is ended by at least one player discarding one (1) die each. After discarding a die, there is no way to regain it until the game is over and a new one begins.The opening bid of the next round is passed counterclockwise (to the right) of the player that opened the last round's bidding. To start the next round, all players must put their dice back into their cup, shake, slam and repeat the steps of the typical round as laid out above.

This minigame is awesome. It's very simple to play once you get going. Especially compared to Poker. Even so, games can get quite deep and tense. I've played this minigame four hours every night for the last few days. It's so Damn fun. Especially when you get down to your last few dice and you have to start bluffing and outsmarting your opponent. It's simple enough that anyone can play, though the smart, or more experienced, player will beat the err less smarter player 90% of the time.

Just yesterday, I played about twelve straight games with some dude from France. He beat me eleven times consecutively. Yes, eleven. We played twelve rounds altogether, so that implies that I won the last round - which is true. After losing to this guy so much, I made a promise to myself to never leave the session until I win or he quits. And when I won the last round, it was one of my most satisfying experiences in any multiplayer games I've ever played. And unlike most multiplayer game, you don't have to win to have fun. Well, at least I don't. That's a first for me as I rarely have fun in multiplayer games unless I win.

So if you have a copy of Red Dead Redemption laying around (and if you don't, you're dead to me. Seriously, GTFO of my thread! NAO!!! You emo) wait...where was i? Oh yeah, if you are in possession of RDR (and if you aren't, you know what) then go check out this game mode. And if you don't like it, seriously, I don't wanna know. I only want positive responses. Even if they're false. All negative responses will be met with hate or they'll be ignored altogether. Don't hurt my feelings. Even if you've never plated the game, please come in here to lie and just say you loved it, just to make my day.

I love it but I don't have enough people who want to play it in real life :s



 

I play it with my cousins and uncles all the time. It's a really fun game because I'm really good at it lol.



It's only fair that I bump this since I created around 3 AM this morning when the site was seE.



Have you ever played it in real life? It`s way more awesome than playing it on RDR.
