Perudo (Liar's Dice)

How to Play Perudo

Each player starts with 5 dice and a cup. The game is played in rounds:

1. All players roll their dice simultaneously and keep them hidden under their cups
2. Starting player makes a bid about how many dice of a particular value they think are showing under ALL cups combined
3. Next player must either:
   • Make a higher bid (either more dice of any value, or same number of higher value)
   • Challenge the previous bid as false ("Dudo" - meaning "I doubt" in Spanish)
4. When a challenge occurs:
   • All dice are revealed
   • If the bid was correct, the challenger loses a die
   • If the bid was wrong, the bidder loses a die
5. Special rules:
   • Ones (aces) are wild and count as any number
   • When only one player has dice left, they win the game
   • When a player is down to their last die, they can call "Palifico" - in this round ones are not wild

The game requires strategy, probability assessment, and bluffing skills to win!
