| How to Survive in the Wild Posted: 05 Oct 2018 01:00 AM PDT Whether you're lost in the forest or testing your mettle against nature, you need to be prepared if you're trying to survive in the wild. Certain survivalist celebrities might tell you to drink specific bodily fluids. But, as long as you stick to the basics and do what you have to to find water, build a shelter, obtain food, and stay warm, those celebrities will be eating crow figuratively while you potentially eat crow literally. EditFinding Water - Locate a body of water like a river, stream, lake, or pond. Water flows downhill, so you should look for bodies of water in depressions in the earth and valleys. If you're in a mountainous region, there's a reasonable chance that if you walk parallel to a mountain you'll find a stream or river eventually.[1]
- If you do find a body of water, you should build your shelter near it. Don't build the shelter on the water's edge, though, because chances are that (possibly dangerous) animals will frequent the area to quench their thirst.[2]
- Sterilize water from lakes, ponds, streams, and rivers. You should always boil any water that you collect from a body of water in nature.[3] If you have a metal container, you can put it on your fire to boil for at least 20 minutes to sterilize it. If you don't have a container you can put onto a fire, you can still boil the water with a boiling pit.[4]
- To boil water with a boiling pit, dig a hole approximately long by wide by deep next to your campfire.[5]
- Then, separate out the clay from the soil (it will be sticky and reddish), and line the hole with the clay, making sure there are no cracks or openings in the layer of clay.[6]
- Then, use a container like a hat or a shoe to transport water from your water source to the boiling pit until it's full[7]
- Once your pit is full, heat rocks on your campfire. Heat them for approximately 10 minutes, then start dropping them in the pit. Rotate freshly hot rocks with ones in the pit that have cooled down until you have a steady boil for 20 minutes.[8]
- Dig for water if you can't find a lake, pond, stream, or river. Before you go to sleep, dig a hole that is approximately long by wide by deep. The hole should fill with water overnight. The water will be muddy, so you should strain it with a piece of cloth like your shirt.[9]
- If you don't have a container to strain your water into, you can use your shirt to soak up water and then wring it into your mouth. The shirt should hold on to most of the mud.[10]
- Use your shirt to collect moisture from the ground and plants if you can't find other water. In the mornings, you can use your shirt to collect dew. Just press it into the ground and it should soak up some water that you can wring into your mouth. During the day, trail your shirt behind you through the underbrush. It should pick up some moisture from the leaves that you can also wring into your mouth.[11]
- Follow ants climbing trees to find pockets of moisture in the bark. If you see ants climbing trees, there's a good chance they're traveling toward a deposit of moisture that is collecting in one of the tree's grooves. Follow the line of ants to their destination on the tree and, if it's within reach, press your shirt against the water deposit to soak up the moisture. Then you can wring the water into your mouth.[12]
- Be careful not to swallow any ants using this method; they could have pincers. [13]
EditBuilding a Shelter - Find a fallen tree or cliffside. You'll want to build your shelter against a large surface that can block out any wind and hide you from predatory animals. Search near your water source (if you have one) for fallen trees or rock outcroppings.[14]
- Make sure there are no animals already living in the vicinity.[15]
- Lean large branches against the tree or cliffside. The forest floor is usually littered with fallen branches, so you shouldn't need to chop any off of the trees themselves. Search for larger branches in the forest, and lean them against the tree or rock as close together as possible.[16]
- Ideally, the branches should be as straight as possible and approximately in length and to in diameter.[17]
- Make the shelter small, but still large enough to fit your whole body if it's curled up. The smaller the shelter, the easier it will be for you to warm it with your body heat.[18]
- Fill in the gaps between the larger branches with smaller ones. No matter how straight your large branches are or how close together you place them, there will be gaps between them. Fill in those gaps with smaller branches. Then, cover the entire shelter with leaves and debris from the forest floor.[19]
- Line the ground inside the shelter with dry leaves or pine needles. You won't be able to conserve body heat if you're sleeping on the damp ground. Pile a layer of dry leaves or pine needles (or both) inside your shelter to provide some insulation against the cold dirt beneath you.[20]
- You should replace the bedding in your shelter every day that you can find dry leaves or needles.[21]
- Build your shelter around a depression in the ground if you're in the desert. If you're in a desert rather than a forested area, start your shelter by digging a depression in the ground. Use the sand you dig up to form a protective barrier around the depression. Then, cover the depression with brush if you can find it or with any cloth you might have available to protect yourself from the elements.[22]
- Make a snow trench shelter if you're in a colder climate. To build a snow trench shelter, dig a trench into the snow a little longer than your body and pile the snow you dig up around the trench to form a barrier against the elements. Then, create the roof of your shelter by forming a lattice pattern with sticks over your shelter and pile packed snow on top.[23]
EditObtaining Food - Eat bugs. Bugs can be a good source of protein and sustenance when you're out in the wild. Search on the ground and dig in the dirt for bugs like worms, beetles, grasshoppers, and crickets. Look in particular in patches of damp earth and in rotting logs. Bugs love moisture.[24]
- Don't just eat any bug, because some are poisonous or have pincers.[25]
- Before you eat the bugs, remove their extremities and outer shells if they have them. Then crush them with a rock and cook the pulp over your fire.[26]
- Use trees for nuts and edible bark. Search at the base of trees for edible nuts like acorns. These can be roasted on a fire and are a valuable source of protein.[27] Some trees, particularly pines, spruces, and firs (all evergreens with needles) also have edible inner bark. Once you've found one of these trees, you can dig into the bark with a rock to get to the rubbery, cream-colored edible inner layer.[28]
- Pine needles can also be steeped in hot water to make a tea. Pine needle tea is a source of valuable nutrients, particularly Vitamin C.[29]
- Do not drink pine needle tea if you are pregnant, as it has been shown to be harmful to unborn babies.[30]
- Search for bird nests on the ground and in low-hanging branches. As you move around during the day, keep an eye out for bird nests on the ground among tree roots or in the branches of trees with eggs in them. You can collect the eggs, and even possibly catch the bird itself if you hang out until it returns to the nest.[31]
- To cook an egg without a pan, gently tap a hole in the top wide by long with a small branch.[32]
- Then, use a stick to pull some of the coals from the fire to the edge of your fire pit, and make a bed for the egg with a circular depression in it.[33]
- Place the egg in the coal bed and let it cook for approximately 5 to 10 minutes (you should be able to tell if it's cooked by looking through the hole on the top).[34]
- Once the egg is cooked, you can peel off the shell and eat it![35]
- Fashion a spear and carry it with you to catch small animals. Find a young hardwood sapling and use a rock to cut it down. You'll want a sapling that is approximately in length and at least to in diameter. Use your rock to cut off any branches and sharpen the end into a point. Then harden the point by holding it over your fire.[36]
- If you carry your spear with you during the day, you can use it to opportunistically kill small animals like rabbits, squirrels, frogs, and fish that you can roast over your fire.[37]
- Look for cactus plants and lizards to eat if you're in the desert. A wide variety of cactus plants have edible pads (leaves) that can be eaten raw. First, wrap your hand in your shirt to protect it from the spines and break the pads off the plant. Then, use a rock to scrape off the spines before eating the pad. To catch a lizard, on the other hand, try to act opportunistically. If there are lizards nearby, sit as still as possible until they approach, then grab them as quickly as you can.[38]
- If you intend to eat a lizard, cook it as thoroughly as possible to avoid salmonella. Focus on eating the tail meat. Avoid the mouth, because that's where salmonella tends to be most prevalent.[39]
- Focus on finding fish in colder climates. If you're near the ocean in a colder climate, you can catch fish by digging holes in areas where the high tide meets the low tide (you'll have to observe the tides first to identify the right places for your holes). Fish will get trapped in these holes as the tide recedes. If you're not near the ocean, you can still catch fish by fashioning a spear and using to catch fish in rivers and lakes.[40]
EditBuilding a Fire - Build a fire pit. Make a fire pit at least away from your shelter by digging a hole long by wide by deep with a rock and circling the edge of the hole with stones.[41]
- Once you've dug your fire pit, form a small pile of leaves or pine needles as your kindling.[42]
- Make a bow drill. Find a piece of hardwood or rock that has a divot in it for the top of your drill to rest in. Then, find a piece of softwood and carve a hole through it with a sharp rock. Create a triangular cut from the edge of the softwood to the hole, with the point of the triangle at the hole. Find a green, pliable branch and tie one of your shoestrings to either end of it to form a bow. Then find a hardwood stick approximately in diameter to serve as your drill.[43]
- If you don't have shoelaces and you're in a forested area, you can create a string by digging into a tree with a rock to the fibrous inner layer, pulling out the fibers, and tying them together.[44]
- If you're not in a forested area and need string, you can create it by cutting off bits of your hair and tying them together.[45]
- If you don't have enough hair, you can make a string by tying together pieces of brush.[46]
- Use your bow drill to start a fire. Position your softwood in your firepit so that the kindling fills the triangular cut on the edge. Then, put your drill in the hole with the string of your bow wrapped around it in a single loop with the bow parallel to the ground. Hold the softwood firmly with your foot and place the top of the drill in the divot of the hardwood or rock you found to hold it securely in position. Then draw the bow back and forth so that the drill spins and creates friction on the softwood and makes a spark.[47]
- After several minutes of vigorous sawing, you should start to see smoke. Once you do, you can blow on the kindling gently to encourage the spark to spread.[48]
- Once your kindling has started burning, form a pyramid around it with twigs and bark in the center, then build another pyramid around that with small branches, and a final pyramid around the whole thing with larger branches.[49]
- Once you've started your first fire, you should keep it burning continuously by adding wood to it throughout the day.[50]
EditProtecting Yourself from the Elements - Eat late. Bodies create heat as they metabolize food, so you should use this to your advantage. Eat high fat foods like nuts, bugs, and small animals just before you go to sleep to that your body creates warmth at night when it's coldest out.[51]
- Cover yourself with dirt, debris, and leaves when you go to sleep. When you go to sleep in your shelter for the night, cover yourself with a few layers of dirt, debris, and leaves that you've collected during the day. This can serve as insulation against the cold night air.[52]
- Don't make yourself so warm that you sweat. Sweat will cool your body down and make your bedding damp, which will interfere with its ability to insulate you from the cold.[53]
- Stay inside your shelter when it rains. This is particularly important in tropical climates where rain occurs frequently. If it's raining, you should stay in your shelter. If you get wet, try to dry yourself and your clothes as thoroughly as possible. Staying wet can potentially cause illnesses and fungal infections.[54]
EditStaying Safe and Healthy - Avoid predators. Predators will be an issue regardless of what part of the world you're in. To avoid encountering them, try to provide them with advance warnings of your approach by whistling or singing as your travel. You should also keep your camp free of food smells by discarding your food remains far away from it. It's also a good idea to give any fresh animal kills you encounter a wide berth, since some predators will wander away from their food for a while before returning to it.[55]
- If you do encounter a predator, don't panic. Don't look the animal in the eye, and move calmly away from it while making yourself look as big as possible by waving your arms in the air.[56]
- Keep your skin covered to avoid scratches and bug bites that might cause an infection. This is particularly important in tropical climates, where the warm, moist weather can speed infections and many of the local insects may be poisonous. If you don't have long sleeves or pants, cover your skin by wrapping leaves around your arms and legs and tying them on with pliable twigs.[57]
- Set broken bones and avoid overexerting yourself until the bone has healed. If you're in a forested area, you can splint a broken bone by lining up 2 tree branches on either side of the bone and tying them in place with shoelaces or young, pliable branches. If you're not in a forested area with access to branches, you'll need to avoid moving the bone as much as possible so that it can heal properly. Regardless, you'll need to rest as much as possible so the bone has the energy it needs to mend.[58]
- Stay properly hydrated and get adequate rest if you start to get sick. If you feel yourself starting to get sick, or have already gotten sick, the most important care you can give yourself is to stay hydrated and rested. Stay inside your shelter and keep water nearby while you convalesce. You should also try to stay warm. Cold bodies don't heal as quickly.[59]
- Staying hydrated should be your first priority. You can survive several days without shelter and a few weeks without food, but you will start to experience the effects of dehydration within a few days.
- Survival in the wilderness is all about creating and storing adequate levels of energy. Make sure you eat plenty, get adequate amounts of sleep, and don't make unnecessary movements.
- Don't eat any plants unless you have sufficient knowledge of which are edible and which are not. Inedible plants can make you sick and dehydrated.
- When you move about during the day, mark your path by making gashes in trees with a rock or piling up stones. That way you won't get lost.
- If you encounter a large animal, move slowly away from it until you are out of range. Quick movements will signal that you are a threat, and even non-predatory animals may attack.

| How to Throw a Surprise Baby Shower Posted: 04 Oct 2018 05:00 PM PDT If a friend or family member is expecting a baby, throwing a baby shower for the mother is a thoughtful thing to do. To make the baby shower a success, put together a guest list and choose a date, time, and venue for the shower. Plan what kinds of food, decorations, and games you're going to play while the party is going on to make it engaging and fun. Before you start planning, make sure the guest of honor would like the surprise, and remind the guests not to tell the mom-to-be about the party. EditChoosing a Date, Time, and Location - Make sure the mom-to-be would like the surprise. Surprise baby showers aren't for everyone, as pregnancy can be stressful and overwhelming without the added surprise of a party that they didn't know about. Try to make sure the guest of honor would truly want and like the surprise party before starting to plan it by asking close friends or family member's if the guest of honor would enjoy it.[1]
- Try to ask the guest of honor's spouse or close friend if she would like a surprise baby shower in person as opposed to over text or email so the guest of honor is less likely to find out.
- If you want to keep it a surprise but also want the mom-to-be to feel prepared, consider telling them about the baby shower the day that it's happening. This way it's still a surprise, but they can get dressed and ready knowing they'll be around lots of people.
- Choose a baby shower date 1-2 months before her due date. While you can always have the baby shower after the baby is born, it's always nice for the mother-to-be to have the gifts and supplies before the baby comes so that she's well-prepared. Pick a date 1-2 months before the due date so the mom will get to enjoy the shower even if the baby comes super early.[2]
- Choose 2 or 3 possible dates just in case one of them doesn't work with the guest of honor.
- Make sure the guest of honor is free on the date you have in mind. Once you've chosen a date or two that you think will work, you can either figure out a clever way to ask the guest of honor if they're free on that date, or you can get someone to help you figure it out. Making plans with the guest of honor yourself is also a great way to ensure they'll be available.[3]
- Ask the spouse or a close friend of the guest of honor to help you figure out if the mom-to-be is free on the date.
- Decide where you'll host the baby shower. It's best to choose a location that you can easily access before the shower so that you have plenty of time to set up. You should also take into consideration where the mom-to-be would enjoy celebrating, as well as a venue that will hold the amount of people you're hoping to invite.[4]
- For example, hosting the shower at the guest of honor's house will make it hard for you to keep it a surprise and you won't have much time to set up.
- Consider locations such as restaurants, outdoor areas, or homes of friends or family members.
- Have the guest of honor create a list of possible gifts. This will help the guests buy gifts that the mom-to-be truly needs. Ask the guest of honor to list some things she needs before the baby comes and then create the registry for her, if desired. This way, the mom-to-be won't find out about the shower.[5]
- If you don't want to create a registry, you can give guests a list of ideas for gifts to buy and encourage them to put the gift receipt with it just in case there are duplicates.
- Encourage the guest of honor to add necessary items to the list, such as diapers, clothing, bottles, or safety gear, as well as items that cost a range of prices.
- It's helpful to include the information for the registry on the invitations.
- Plan how you'll get the guest of honor to the party. If you've already told the guest of honor that you'll be spending time with them that day, then you can easily pick them up or have them meet you at the venue. Otherwise, you'll need to create a plan for the mom-to-be to arrive at the location without giving the surprise away.[6]
- For example, ask the spouse to tell the guest of honor that they're going out to lunch, or ask a friend to create plans with the guest of honor.
EditArranging Guest Lists, Invitations, and RSVPs - Create a guest list so you know who to invite. When making the guest list, think about who the guest of honor would want at their baby shower. You can invite as many or as little people as you'd like, including only women, all family members, close friends, or coworkers.[7]
- For example, if you want to keep the baby shower small, consider just inviting family members that live in the area.
- Invite only the guest of honor's work friends for a work baby shower, or throw a huge party and invite all of their friends and family members.
- Ask the guest of honor's spouse or close friend to help you gather the necessary addresses for each guest.
- Clarify on the invitation that the party is a surprise. While the invitation should clearly state that the baby shower is a surprise in the wording, there are also other ways to make it stand out. Put wording on the invitation in a bold color that says, "It's a surprise!" or add a picture of a baby holding his finger to his lips in a shush motion.[8]
- Making sure that the guests know the baby shower is a surprise will help ensure the guest of honor doesn't find out.
- Direct the RSVPs to you so that the guest of honor isn't notified. Instead of putting the guest of honor's information on the invitation, put your own so that the guests RSVP to you. This will let you know how many people you'll need to prepare for and will allow you to answer any questions that the guests have.[9]
- Remind the guests not to tell the guest of honor if they call to RSVP or ask questions about the event.
- Put your name, email address, and phone number on the invitation so the guests can RSVP to you.
- Send out invitations about 6 weeks before the shower. This gives people plenty of time to RSVP and put the date on their calendars. If you want to make sure the guest of honor doesn't see the invitations, opt for evites that are sent through email. Make sure you say that the baby shower is a surprise along with the rest of the details.[10]
- Include the date, time, and location on the invitation, as well as any other important information such as where to find the gift registry, what to wear, or when to RSVP by.
- You can find lots of evite options online that come in different themes.
- If the baby's gender has been revealed, it's a good idea to include this on the invitation so that the guests know what kind of gifts to buy.
EditPlanning Decorations and Activities - Choose a theme or color scheme for the party. Themes can help tie the entire baby shower together, giving you an opportunity to choose food, decorations, and games that all relate to one another. If you know the sex of the baby, you can pick out a theme relating to this, or you can go for a neutral theme such as a tiki luau, zoo animals, the circus, or the alphabet.[11]
- You might choose a princess theme for a girl or a sports theme for a boy.
- If you wanted a beach theme, you could put up streamers in shades of blue to recreate the ocean, have a cake that looks like a sand castle, and put the party favors in little beach buckets.
- You can also opt for a color theme, such as gray, yellow, green, or purple.
- Plan the menu for the party. You'll want to pick out food for the guests to eat, along with a cake and drinks (both non-alcoholic and alcoholic, if desired). Choose foods that make sense for the time of day the party will be happening, and feel free to get creative to make the foods fit with the theme you've chosen.[12]
- Pick out foods the guest of honor likes or has been craving, and plan to buy enough to feed all of your guests.
- If you're having the party at 11 in the morning, you might have brunch foods such as eggs, muffins, and fruit.
- Consider having an afternoon cookout where you serve mini sliders, chips, and veggie and fruit platters.
- Decorate cookies or other sweets to fit the theme, or use cookie cutters to cut fruit or veggies into theme-specific shapes.
- Purchase supplies such as decorations, tableware, and party favors. Once you've picked your theme, it'll make it easy to pick out which supplies you need. Choose decorations such as streamers, tablecloths, and balloons in your desired color scheme. Make sure you have all the plates, cups, and utensils you'll need, and stock up on party favors to give to each of your guests that will be coming.[13]
- If you're planning a party with a gray and yellow color scheme, purchase streamers, plates, and party favors in these colors.
- For a barn-themed baby shower, have the guests place the presents in a wheelbarrow, purchase plates with farm animals on them, or give the guests Peeps as a party favor.
- Prepare baby-related games to play. You can make up your own baby games that go with your theme, or you can opt for traditional baby shower games that are often played. Pick out 3 games that you think will be fun, and gather all the supplies you'll need to put them together.[14]
- You can find lots of ideas for baby shower games by doing a quick online search.
- For example, have everyone taste baby food and guess the flavor or have everyone decorate a baby onesie with fabric markers or paint.
- Set a budget to help you save money, and consider teaming up with someone else so you can both plan, host, and share the cost of the party.
- Ask the guests to take pictures while they're at the party so the guest of honor will have lots of great shots.
- Ask a few friends to get to the party early to help you set up, if desired.

| How to Play Liar's Dice Posted: 04 Oct 2018 09:00 AM PDT Also known as pirate's dice, liar's dice is a fun game to play with 2 or more people. With a little bit of deception and a lot of luck, you'll try your hand at being crowned the best liar of the bunch. Switch it up each time you play with one of the different variations. EditCommon Hand Liar's Dice with Multiple Players - Roll 2 dice to determine which player will go first. If you can't decide who will start the game, have each player roll 2 dice. Whoever has the highest combined total between the 2 dice will start.
- Traditionally, you'll go clockwise around the table, meaning that the person on the starting player's immediate left will go second.
- Hand each player 5 dice along with a dice cup. They'll use the dice cup to shake the 5 dice and roll them at the beginning of each round. If you don't have a dice cup, you can use an opaque drinking cup.
- Another alternative is to simply roll the dice with your hand.
- Have everyone roll their 5 dice at the same time, keeping them hidden. While you can (and should) look at your own dice, you should make sure no one else can see yours. You can do this by flipping the dice cup on top of your dice and lifting it so that only you can see the dice.
- If anyone sees someone else's dice, have everyone roll again.[1]
- Let the first player guess how many total of one dice face were rolled. This is the total between all the dice on the table. They'll make a bet out loud that includes a dice face along with the quantity they believe were rolled by the other players.
- For example, they might say "7 3's" which means they think there are 7 dice on the table with a "3" face up.
- Allow the other players to challenge the bet or make a new one. Starting with the player to the left of the first player, each player can make a new bet. It has to be either a higher quantity of the same face (like 9 "3's" instead of 7 "3's") or the same quantity with a higher face (like 7 "4's" instead of 7 "3's").[2]
- There are many variations of betting rules. You can also allow betting a higher quantity of any face or any quantity of a higher face.
- Some variations consider "1's" to be wild, meaning it can be any value. However, if "1's" get called in the first round, it is no longer wild and must only be a "1" for the rest of the game.[3]
- Continue around the table making new bets until there's a challenge. You can go around the table as many times as it takes for someone to challenge a bet. The only bet that matters is the last one spoken.
- If you have a lot of players, you don't have to worry about writing down previous bets. You just need to keep track of the most recent bet.
- Reveal all the players' dice when a player challenges a bet. By challenging the player before them, they're calling their bluff (essentially saying they don't think the player's bet was correct). Have all the players uncover their dice. If the player who challenged the bet was right, the player who made the bet has lost the round. They must remove one die from their cup and set it aside.[4]
- If the player who made the challenge was wrong and the player before them got their bet right, the challenger removes one die from their cup.
- Begin the next round with the loser of the previous round. The loser will now make the initial bet and you'll play clockwise around the table. Each time someone loses, they start the new round.
- This means that the loser gets to make the first bet in the next round.
- Repeat rounds until there's only one player with dice left. This is the winner of the game. If, however, you get to the point where there are 2 players left, each with only 1 die, you bet on the sum of the 2 die instead of the quantity of faces.[5]
EditIndividual Hand Liar's Dice with 2 Players - Figure out who will start the game by each rolling 5 dice. The player with the largest sum of dice will begin the first round. Note that this variation of liar's dice only takes 2 players.
- For example, if one person rolls a 22 and other rolls an 18, the person who rolled the 22 will start.
- Roll the 5 poker dice all at once, keeping them hidden. Only you should look at the results of your roll. Some sort of box or divider can come in handy here to make sure your opponent can't see your dice.
- You can also use a dice cup to shield your dice.
- Announce the poker hand you rolled or are pretending to have rolled. This can be the truth or it can be a lie - it's up to how you want to play it. There are 8 different poker dice hands you can choose from.[6] Here they are, in order from highest-ranking to lowest-ranking:
- 5 of a kind (ex. 55555)
- 4 of a kind (ex. 33331)
- Full house (3 of a kind plus a pair, like 44422)
- High straight (23456)
- Low straight (12345)
- 3 of a kind (ex. 22241)
- 2 pair (ex. 22114)
- 1 pair (ex. 33541)
- Highest single die (ex. 13456)
- Allow the other player a chance to challenge your hand. If they challenge your hand, reveal your dice. If your opponent was correct (and your hand is lower than what you announced), you put a poker chip in the center of the table.
- If your opponent was wrong (and you were not bluffing), they put in a poker chip.[7]
- Pass the dice to your opponent if no challenge is made. If the other player accepts your hand, pass the dice to them. They can roll however many they'd like. For example, they can keep 3 of the dice the way you rolled them and just reroll 2 if they want.[8]
- Regardless of the number of dice they choose to roll, they should keep them hidden from you.
- The player cannot lie about how many dice are being rolled, however. If they roll 2 dice, they cannot say they are rolling 3.
- Have the other player roll the dice and announce a higher poker hand. They can roll however many they'd like. For example, they can keep 3 of the dice the way you rolled them and just reroll 2 if they want.[9]
- Regardless of the number of dice they choose to roll, they should keep them hidden from you.
- The player cannot lie about how many dice are being rolled, however. If they roll 2 dice, they cannot say they are rolling 3.
- The new hand cannot be lower than what you announced.[10] So if you had called a low straight, they could not call 3 of a kind since it's lower.
- Challenge or accept your opponent's announcement. If you challenge it, they'll reveal the dice, examine the results, and the loser of the challenge will toss in a poker chip again. If you accept it, the rounds continue until someone challenges the other's hand.[11]
- Play until there are no poker chips left. The winner of the game will be whoever has the last poker chip. You can play with as little or as many poker chips as you'd like.
- The more poker chips you play with, the longer the game will likely last.
EditThings You'll Need EditCommon Hand Liar's Dice with Multiple Players - 5 dice per player
- Table or smooth playing surface
- 1 dice cup per player
EditIndividual Hand Liar's Dice with 2 Players - 1 set of 5 poker dice
