Dice games are fun to play, and the more the players, the noisier it gets. Card and board games are more fun when played with dice, since it's not just the skill that determines the end of the game but also luck.

It used to be, your co-players were just your friends. Now, you can compete against anyone all over the world, even the experts, through the Internet. Some online games can be played free, and all you get is fun and honor since scores are compared among players and ranked from highest to lowest. If you can get to the top, then maybe you can qualify to play with dice games sites that accept bets. Practice makes perfect. So hone your skills first and be a monster dice gamer before you decide to place real money bets.

Online casinos let you play your heart out without leaving the house and going to Las Vegas. Saves you a plane ticket! There are lots of dice games like Scandinavian Yahtzy, Zilch, WebDice, Farkle Game, Backgammon Unlimited and many others from which you can choose. One of the best online dice games are called Perudo, also known as Liar's Dice. In this game you are allowed to lie and not feel guilty about it. This game is played in rounds.

Here are the steps how to play Perudo:

  1. Each player receives a cup and five dice. To begin the game, each player rolls the dice in the cup then turns it over the top of the table so the dice are rolled inside the cup. Each player can see only his dice under the cup.
  2. First player bids. He states a dice-quantity and a die face value. Play goes on to the left.
  3. The next player will guess if the bid is too high or just right. If he thinks the bid is too high, then he will suggest that the first player is bluffing and clicks on Dudo button. Dudo means, "I doubt". Otherwise, he can raise the bid by increasing the dice-quantity or the dice face value. He can also do both.
  4. After the second player's bid, play goes on to the left.
  5. If a player declares Dudo, the players show their dice to verify the call.
  6. If the bluff is proven, then the one who bids last must place a die in the discard pile. But if proven wrong, then the player who called Dudo will place a die of his own instead in the discard pile. Either way, a new round starts with the player who lost his dice.
  7. The last player with any dice left wins the game.
