A fast-paced and easy-to-learn bluffing game, Havana Dice puts a Cuban twist on the traditional classic of Liar's Dice or Dudo, which has been played in Latin America for centuries. Using poker dice and unique dice cups, 2 to 4 players roll their own dice in secret before bidding on the number of dice under everyone's cups-but if a bluff is successfully called, the bluffer loses a die. Wild poker chips up the ante and make for a fun and unpredictable game to play again and again, at home or on the go. Housed in a package resembling a vintage cigar box, this colorful and handsome game brings home a little taste of Havana.
