Generally bewildered, I remember being beckoned over to a table where, without a word of Chinese to my name, attempts at communication reduced me to oscillating between apologetic smiles and increasingly creative hand gestures. Behaviour is important, so each game is different depending on the group and I have enjoyed games with young cousins as much as with cerebral graduates of Game Theory. For example, a player with two fours, two Pacos and a five actually has four fours or three fives (or two of the values he has not on his non Paco dice). If the bid was right, the player who doubted loses a die, otherwise the player who made the wrong bid loses a die. Based on the classic Peruvian game of Liar's Dice, Perudo is an exciting game of guesswork, bluff and luck that can be played anywhere by anybody, though consummate liars do have an advantage!For example the player announces 2 sixes, and the next player must say 3 sixes, 4 sixes or more; or say Dudo. The game, formerly known as ‘Liar’s Dice’, originates from Peru and has multiple variations of how to play with the same goal – the last player with any dice remaining is the winner.

They are eliminated when their bids are successfully challenged (or dudo'd) and they have no more dice.When you hear Stephen Fry describe something as “the second most addictive thing to come out of South America” you’re going to sit up and listen aren’t you?

Each player shakes his cup to mix the dice and places it upside down in front of them, keeping the dice under the cup. A game of guesswork, players take it in turns to bid on how many dice of a certain number are on the table.

Please keep in mind that the official Perudo rules and instructions could be different depending on the game version you have. If the accusation is correct, the accused player loses 1 die which will be placed under the cup lid. Perudo (meaning Dice of the Andes) is described as “the classic game of liar dice” and it is very much a skilful game of guesswork, bluff and luck.
