Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The product comes in a wood box, decorated on all sides with stickers of the Liar's Dice images and opens by sliding the lid over to one side. The contents are 4 plastic brown cups, 20 dice, and a set of instructions. Of the 4 cups 2 are smaller than the others and they fit nicely inside their larger counterparts. The dice come in 5 sets of individually sealed plastic bags that must be ripped open. 1 set of mine actually came in a miniature zip lock, while the rest had to be ripped open. Not sure if they were all supposed to come like that or not. However storing the dice and cups back into the box is quite simple, there isn't any particular layout or placement for anything. All of it can be thrown pell-mell back into the box, but sticking the five dice at the bottom of each cup and placing those cups stacked together really eliminates the need for the zip lock bags or any particular storing placement.
Overall: The durability is average. The box is sturdy and the cups will last a long while, but the dice are already losing their black spots (played at least 70 games in a 3 hour period) and I'm sure everyday wear will cause the box stickers to get pulled or rubbed off.
The game however is insanely fun. As mentioned by another reviewer, the games are fast paced, short and incredibly fun. You can make your own game, by buying plastic cups and dice. So what are you really paying for? A container that looks legit and maybe the instructions. And that's what you will get with this product, a wood container, instructions and depending on how long the stickers last, a legit look.
It also asked me to review its educational value. 5 stars depending on how you look at what it could teach you: How to lie and How to catch people lying.
--EDIT--
::How to Play::
The gameplay is quite simple, each player shakes the dice in their cup and turns the cup upside down so the dice are laying on the surface, but still covered by the cup. The cups are used to shield the rolled dice from the other players. After looking at their own dice, the players then proceed to place "bids" on how many dice there are, judging only from the amount of dice they have (or don't have. hehe). The player on the right of the bidder can choose to believe the persons bid and go an amount higher, or call them a liar. In the case of calling the person a lair, all the dice that apply are revealed and counted up to see whether or not the person was lying. Depending on the amount of players you have the bids can be quite high, or low and often times its a good idea to remember how many dice are in play so as not to be called a liar.
Example: 4 people playing there are 20 dice in play (first round)
player1- "I bid 4 fives"
player2- "5 fours"
player3- "7 fours"
player4- "Liar!"
(all fours would be pushed forward into the middle of the table to be counted, if there were 7 or more fours, player3 was telling the truth and player4 would lose a dice, if there were 6 fours or less, then player3 was lying and he would lose a dice. The game would resume (with 19 dice) and would continue until only 1 person had any dice left.
