Take a peek at your dice \u2013 but don\u2019t show the others! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 The whole point of the game is to fool people. You bet on how many dice of a kind there are on the table. For example, if you just rolled two <b>femmere<\/b> (\u2684), you may reasonably say \u201d<b>Der er fire femmere!<\/b>\u201d<b> <\/b>(There are four number five!) The next player then has to make up her choice: Does she believe you or not? If she does believe you, she must raise the stakes. She can either raise the number of dots on each die \u2013 <b>\u201dDer er fire seksere!\u201d <\/b>(There are four number six!) \u2013 or raise the amount of dice: <b>\u201dDer er fem ens!\u201d<\/b> (There are five identical ones!), <b>\u201dDer er fem treere!\u201d<\/b> (There are five number three!), and so on. <b>To ens<\/b> (two identical ones) is the lowest possible bid; each time a bid is passed on to a player, he has the choice of either raising the stakes or saying <b>\u201dDet tror jeg ikke p\u00e5!\u201d<\/b> (I don\u2019t believe that!) In that case all the cups are lifted. If the previous player was lying, all the other players can now remove one of their dice from their cup. If the previous player was right, she can remove a die along with the other players, except for the doubter, who has lost and has to keep all his dice. The loser then starts a new round, and the game is played as long as there are dice left in the cups.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 <b>Ettere<\/b> (\u2680) are very good, as they\u2019re wildcards! You can choose whichever value (between 2 and 6) you want them to have. Furthermore, if an <b>etter<\/b> makes a <b>trappe<\/b> (straight, literally \u2019staircase\u2019, like \u2680 \u00b7 \u2681 \u00b7 \u2682) with all the other dice in a player\u2019s cup, then all those dice are considered wildcards, and an extra \u201dinvisible wildcard\u201d is added: So, rolling an <b>etter<\/b> and a <b>toer<\/b> (\u2681) is the same as rolling three <b>ettere<\/b>! If you\u2019ve only got one die left, an <b>etter<\/b> is considered a straight \u2013 so it counts as two wildcards. So, if your opponent has only one die left, and you have only one die left, and your opponent says <b>\u201dDer er tre ens!\u201d <\/b>(There are three identical!), she might be right\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<img width=\"273\" height=\"350\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/danish\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/30\/2014\/11\/703px-DiceBox-273x350.png\" class=\"attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image tmp-hide-img\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/danish\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/30\/2014\/11\/703px-DiceBox-273x350.png 273w, https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/danish\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/30\/2014\/11\/703px-DiceBox.png 703w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 273px) 100vw, 273px\" \/><p>Det er koldt i november.
