Dice games are a great way to bring excitement and fun to any gathering. These games are perfect for creating memorable moments at parties, game nights, or just hanging out with friends. Here are some funny dice game with step-by-step instructions on how to play.

Liar’s Dice is a bluffing game where players must deceive their opponents and make false claims.
(1) What you need
2-6 players, 5 dice per player, and a cup per player to hide their dice.
(2) How to play
Each player secretly rolls their five dice and hides them under a cup. Players take turns asking how many dice of a certain value are under all the cups (e.g., “There are three 4s”). The next player can raise their bid or challenge the previous player’s claim. If challenged, all players show their dice. If the claim is valid, the challenger loses one dice. And if false, the claimer loses one dice. The game continues until only one player (the winner) has his or her dice left.
2. Yahtzee

Each player takes a turn rolling five dice, aiming to achieve specific combinations such as three of a kind, four of a kind, full house, small straight, big straight, Yahtzee (five of a kind), and chance. Players can roll the dice up to 3 times during their turn, keeping any dice they want to keep after each roll. After the third roll, players must choose a scoring category to record their score. The game continues until all players have filled in all of their categories. The player with the highest total score wins.

Players are divided into teams and each table has three dice. The goal is to roll as many specific numbers (whole numbers) as possible.

Rolling all three dice to match the number of rounds is called a “Bunco”, and the player scores 21 points. The game has six rounds, and the team with the most points at the end of the game wins.
