📜 How to Play

Next player either raises the bid (higher quantity or higher die face) or calls "Liar!"
4. Reveal
When someone calls "Liar!", all dice are revealed. Count the actual number of the bid die face.
⚡ Bidding Rules
Example: If the current bid is "3 fives", you can bid:
- Higher quantity: "4 fives" or "5 fives"
- Same quantity, higher face: "3 sixes"
- Or call "Liar!" if you think there aren't 3 fives total
Important: You cannot bid lower quantities or lower die faces!
