Strategy

  • Count your own dice as guaranteed

    Build bids around what you actually have.

  • Watch for patterns in others' bidding

    They likely have what they bid on.

  • Consider the total number of dice in play when judging bid probability.

  • Bluff occasionally but not constantly

    Unpredictability keeps opponents guessing.

  • When few dice remain, probabilities matter more than bluffing.

  • If you have no useful dice, consider bold bids to force others into difficult spots.

  • Track eliminated dice to refine your probability calculations.
