Liar's dice is a class of dice games for two or more players requiring the ability to deceive and to detect an opponent's deception. In "single hand" liar's dice games, each player has a set of dice, all players roll once, and the bids relate to the dice each player can see (their hand) plus all the concealed dice (the other players' hands).
The player gets to choose if they play the round open or closed. In an open round, everyone can see everybody's dice but their own. However, in a closed round, only the players with one die remaining can see their dice. The game ends when only one player has dice remaining; that player is the winner.
Any player may play a card other than the correct one in the sequence, but if their opponents suspect the player of cheating, they call gemogelt! ("cheated!"). The card is checked and if it is the wrong card, the offending player has to pick up the entire stack. If it is the right card, the challenger has to pick up the stack.

The game was originally designed and marketed by Henry Makow in Canada in 1984, who licensed the game to Maruca Industries–Carl Eisenberg. The game took off in the United States due to a marketing program by Maruca that resulted in the game being played twice on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, and featured in The Wall Street Journal along with other publications and newspapers.

The player to the left of the dealer plays a card, and then the others follow clockwise. [12] If a card other than a wizard or jester is played, the players have to follow suit, but it is possible to play a jester or wizard although the player has the desired suit. The Wizard beats all other cards but the first one in a trick beats all others. [13]
