Teachme2play: 1st paragraph: That seems like an artificial way of increasing the length of the game. And it doesn't help. Does it really make the game more interesting if it goes:

A: 1 five
B: (anything)
A: 2 fives
B: (anything)
A: 3 fives
B: (anything)
A: 4 fives
B: (anything)
A: 5 fives

and now B says "LIAR" and wins the game, or bids and A says "LIAR" and wins the game? It just prolongs the game for 2 months.

2nd paragraph: Well, yes, I understand you think that's the smartest move for B. I wonder why, specially since the "mistake" you let B make seems like a brilliant move (given the not so smart opponent you let A be) to me.

3rd paragraph: I fully understand why you think the reasoning of B will be. I'm just pointing out that with such a reasoning, I expect that out of 100 games, I will win 99 of the games against B. For instance, against such a B, and with the roll 2,2,5,5,6 (so, 5's instead of 4's), I could have played exactly as you let A play against B. B is tricked in believing I don't have any 5s, calls LIAR, when there are indeed 5 fives.

Would you play "6 fives" having no fives on your hand, hoping opponent has 4 fives?
You're failing to understand my point. My point is, if I had 2 or 3 fives, I may not mention them until "5 fives". Clearly, with the B in your example, that's a garanteed win (he'll call LIAR based on my not mentioning them before).

AbigailII: You are absolutely right.
But let's start from the very beginning. :)

1st paragraph: Because the game would end in 1-2 turns, and as you wrote before, become very uninteresting. So I add another rule, hmmm, I don't know how to put it in english, so here goes:
Current declaration: "2 ones"
possible responces: "2 twos", "2 threes", "2 fours", "2 fives", "2 sixes" and "3 ones"
No higher bids. Clear enough?

2nd paragraph: A matter of tactics. I believe, that at this stage of game, B should declare "2 ones".

3rd paragraph: I missed out one word. B: "LIAR!" B knows A hasn't played fives before, so PROBABLY/ALMOST SURELY he doesn't have any.
And again, A was given 2,2,4,4,6 hand
Would you play "6 fives" having no fives on your hand, hoping opponent has 4 fives? I don't think so.

Teachme2play: I guess I don't understand the rules (or strategy) of the example game. Why wouldn't A say "5 fives" as his first bid? Given the mismatch between what's "on the table" and his own dice, it's unlikely he has the best hand. He might as well call a high bid, letting B make the decision to call him out a liar, or put in a high bid himself (after which A calls B a liar).

Also, you say B. "2 threes" B avoided 2 ones and 2 twos and probably made a mistake, cause now A thinks B doesn't have 1, or 2 on his dice. Why is that a mistake? If A calls B out a liar, B wins the game, and if this bid causes A to draw a wrong conclusion (I've no idea why A would draw that conclusion though) about Bs hand, I'd say it's an excellent bid by B.

B: "LIAR!" B knows A hasn't played fives before, so he doesn't have any. That's another reasoning I don't get. Given that the bids don't have to be real, A could in theory have anything. In fact, if I was A, and I know B would reason this way, then given a hand of "2, 2, 5, 5, 6" I might have bid the way A did, tricking B to call me a liar. Then again, I wouldn't assume B to reason this way, and I'd never play the low bids in such a way as to reveal my hand.

Dice on the table are visible to both players.

And yes, there is one uncertainity there.

Dice on the table are 5 dice visible for both players.
After the accusation, dice on the table mean all 15 dice.

Typical game looks like this:
Player A rolled 2,2,4,4,6
Player B rolled 2,3,5,5,5
Dice on the table: 1,3,5,5,6
A: "1 two"
B: "1 three"
A: "1 four"
B; "1 five"
A: "1 six"
B: "2 threes" B avoided 2 ones and 2 twos and probably made a mistake, cause now A thinks B doesn't have 1, or 2 on his dice.
A: "2 fours"
B: "2 fives"
A: "2 sixes"
B: "3 threes" B plays safely, ensuring A that he is out of 1's and 2's
A: "3 fours"
B: "3 fives"
A: "3 sixes"
B: "4 twos" (B doesn't have any ones-1's on his dice, and there is only one "1" on the table - probability that A has 3 ones is small) A should call him a liar - B said "1 five", "2 fives" and "3 fives" so he is strong in fives, and now declared "4 twos" which he avoided in the past. But a sees 3 twos on the table, so if B has 2,5,5,X,X the game is lost. A should declare "4 fives" now, but A supposes B doesn't have any fives.
A: "4 threes"
B: "4 fives" (B is strong in fives - he has 3 fives, and there are 2 fives on the table, and maybe A has a five, so B is safe till "5 fives", or maybe "6-7 fives" if A has any fives.) This crossed A's plans to play "4 fours"
A: "4 sixes" B is almost sure that A is lying, because he doesn't suppose A has "3 sixes" among his five dice. Anyway, B decides to raise the bid to "5 fives"
B: "5 fives" A is feeling he's losing the game. B is playing fives, so A's strategy was bad. He has only two good options now: call B a liar, or play 6 fives.
A: "6 fives"
B: "LIAR!" B knows A hasn't played fives before, so he doesn't have any.

B wins the game.

Относно: Re: New dice game
Teachme2play: Your modifications suggests there are two types of dice: dice rolled by players, and "dice on the table". The rules don't talk about this second set of dice - in fact, rule 6 suggests that the only dice in the game are dice rolled by players.


Now, if those "dice on the table" don't exist, it's a game I'm familiar with. Which, IMO, isn't very fun for two players (4 - 6 players is best).

Относно: New dice game
Hey, I was watching old movies and thought of a new game. Remember "Pirates of the Carribean: dead man's chest"? There's a cut where Davy Jones, Bootstrap Bill and William Turner play a dice game. However it needs some modifications, since it's a multiplayer game. For everyone umfamiliar with the movie, here are the rules:
=> All players roll their dice (number of dice is negotiable, but let's say 4-6 dice)
=> Players see only their own set of dice (other dice are hidden under other player's cup)
=> One of the players declares a number of dice with same number of dots on it (like 7 two's, or 10 fives - meaning that, in his opinion, there are 10 dice on the entire table, that have five as a result) He can declare a true number of dice, but isn't obliged to do so.
=> Other players raise their bids / declare higher numbers, which means they declare higher number of dice with the same number ("10 fives" is followed by "11 fives"), or the same number of dice but higher number on those dice ("10 fives" is followed by "10 sixes")
=> Declarations must be consecutively higher (it is forbidden to declare "4 ones", or "10 fours", or "9 fives" if "10 fives" has been declared already)
=> Since (using the 5-dice per player variant and 3 players) there cannot be more than 15 dice of the same number, as the game goes on the probability that the other player made a false declaration is raising, a player, instead of his declaration, may accuse his opponent of cheating.
=> The accusation ends the game immediately and the dice are revealed. If the accusation was correct (opponent declared 11 ones, but there were only 9 ones on the table) the liar loses the game, and the accusing player wins. But if the accusation was incorrect (there were 11, or more ones on the table) the accusing player loses, and the accused player wins.

My modification:

=> To make the game suitable for 2 players I think that some dice should be visible for both players, so a player sees his own dice, the dice on the table, but doesn't see his opponent's dice

I would like to see a new statistic for players, percentage timeouts. I have seen other sites that allow a person to set up tournaments and block players that timeout above a percentage set by the player creating the tournament. It is more satisfying to actually have to play all the games in a tournament to win it.

As far as standard chess in concerned, I would say that castling and stalemate are indeed somewhat artificial spicings, while in contrast promoting and en passant are great solutions to potential game problems.

Относно: Doubled Dice Chess - new game proposal

doubled dice plays an important role in many games ... I am proposing a small improvement to Dice Chess which will speed up the game in many cases and adds some spices to them ... it can be employed in both 8x8 and 10x10 boards (I think on 10x10 board it would have even more sense)... idea is simple ... two dice should be rolled and each time there are the same numbers on both of them, player can make two moves with the same piece or this double move can be split between two pieces of the same kind ... let's say we got 2 and 2 ... we can jump twice with one knight or once with each knight ... if the numbers are different, the first dice from the left, will play usual role like in standard Dice Chess ... I love Dice Chess like it is, but sometimes I would like something extra to happen, to add more fun ...


Have a nice weekend,
