Liar's Dice
A Classic Bluffing Game
Some 50 years ago, when I was a young businessman in San Francisco, there were two games you had to know and be able to play. Liar's Dice was played in every bar in the city. Dominos was played in the private clubs and upscale bars.
Depending on who you believe, Liar's Dice may have been developed by the ancient Incas or it may have been brought to South America by the Spanish conqueror Francisco Pizarro in the 16th century. It is known to have been popular on pirate ships, and today it is still a popular game throughout much of South and Central America.
