You have to make through all the levels without loosing too many lives. A life is lost each time a balloon makes it to the end.

Liar's Dice (Bluff)

December 26th 2009 02:15

Each player must try to hold on to their dice for as long as possible. Players have 5 dice each at the beginning of the game. The player still having dice remaining, wins. The dice are marked with 1 to 5 and a star.

To roll your dice click on the large dice cup. The small cups next to the names show who has already thrown their dice. In the example (left) we wait for JayJay to roll. The numbers in the parentheses show how many dice each player has left. The player highlighted is next to play. When it is your turn you must place a bid. You must guess/bluff as to how many of a certain die number are present in total on the table (all players dice). However, you can only see your own dice! Stars can be played as jokers. (Example in picture left you have in your hand either: one star, three 2s, one 3, two 4s, or two 5s.

To place a bid you first click on the numbered bar on the outside. The red numbers are for placing bids in stars only. If you wanted to bid five 4s, then you would click on the blue 5.

Once you have selected the level of the bid you should then click on the blue die icon. Keep clicking it until the number you want appears, then click OK.

The next player must always bid higher than your bid or suggest that you are bluffing. The person prior to you will have their bid shown by a white die. To bid higher, simply select the level of the bid and change the die number (where appropriate). If you see the white die of the previuos bidder and you think they are bluffing or are wrong, then click on the large cup instead of placing a bid. In the above example the player before you has bid 4 stars. You are now increasing the bid to nine 2s.

Once bluff is called (by someone clicking the large cup), all players dice are shown. The player who incorrectly bid (either you called someone and there are not enough of that number in play, or you called someone and there was enough of that number on the table) pays a penalty of the difference between the number of dice called and the actual number on the table. This penalty value is therefore the number of dice which must be given up by the offending player.

A new round begins immediately with the player who just lost starting this round.

A player who loses his last die is out of the game. The game ends when only one player has any dice left.

Tigris and Euphrates

December 11th 2009 06:08

Tigris and Euphrates is set as a clash between neighboring dynasties at the dawn of civilization. The game is named after the rivers Tigris and Euphrates in the region now called the Middle-East. The rivers together formed natural borders for an area which harboured several grand ancient civilizations, including Sumer, Babylonia, and Assyria. The Greeks called this area Mesopotamia, which literally means "between the rivers".

The game can be played by 2, 3 or 4 people. The play offers both tactical and strategic objectives. As with many games, short term objectives gain prominence when more players participate, as players have less chance to follow up on previous moves. Luck plays a role, as players draw tiles from a bag, but it is seldom decisive. Players may selectively discard and redraw their tiles at the cost of one "action point", of which each has two per turn. The game does not use dice
