Bidding something like “ten 6s” would take a lot of luck, but a bid of “three 6s” sounds more believable.
Even if you don’t have any dice under your cup that match your bid, there’s still a good probability that other players have them.However, if “1s” are bid by the first player, then they count as their face value for the rest of the round. Some variations consider “1s” to be wild, meaning they can be any value.Example: If the first bid is “two 3s,” the next player could bid “three 3s,” “two 4s,” or “three 5s.” “Two 2s” would not be allowed since it’s a lower quantity and face value.You can bluff about how many dice you think there are, or base your bid off of what you have under your cup.
If you want to keep the round going and raise the bid, it has to be a higher quantity of dice, a higher face value, or a higher quantity and face value. The person to the left of the first player takes the next turn and play continues clockwise. Raise the bid if you think there are more dice.
