I believe the rule is that if you're going to make a different bet, you can either change the quantity of the number shown on the dice, or change the number ON the dice with a new quantity. So going from four 1's to two 6's is perfectly legal in Liar's Dice, unless you have a different set of house rules to play by.
@@andymccoy8370. Correct, you have to up the ante on either the face of the die, or the value. But again, the rules may vary based on who you’re playing with
They must not be playing the version of the game used in the movie because you can't lower the bid. You can lower the face if you raise the bid but you cant lower the bid
They dont know how to bid properly. You cant be able in increase one value and decrease another firstly, but then being able to do the same in reverse means one person could bid 4 5s, the other bid 3 6s, and the first bid 4 5s again. You can only ever increase the quantity.
There are apparently 3 common variants whether you can "reset one parameter" or not like that , but yeah whether value > amount or amount > value has to be mutually exclusive so you don't end up in loops
from the comments i can see that most play by being able to raise the amount of the die and lowering the value but they are playing so that you can only raise the value when you lower the amount of die you bet. it’s just a different way of playing
I might be 6 months late, but don't let that distract you. You are correct. They flunked the rules pretty much immediately. There's variants of the rules, but they are playing Pirates of the Caribbean music, so i assume their intention is to use the rules from the movie, in which they aren't.
And also the one who rolled more 6s through pure luck is in better spot than if he had lower face value dices. That's why I'd say you can go down on the face of the dice at same quantity, but you can only shuffle through the face numbers once until you up the quantity or you can only change the face x times before having to up the quantity. Either way seems like much better rule as it increases the impact of deception and decreases the impact of luck.
