Liar's Dice

Everyone shakes five dice under a cup and peeks at their own. Take turns bidding on how many dice of one number are on the table altogether, counting everyone's, like "six 4s". Each bid has to go higher. Think the last bid is wrong? Call "Liar!" and everyone reveals. Whoever was wrong loses a die.

Lose a die

Lose all your dice and you're out. The last player with dice wins.
