Re: 11:28 ET US-UK may now be just one vote away from majority on Iraq vote - CNN.... LOL! LIAR DICE [AKA POKER DICE] For this game it is necessary to procure a set of Poker Dice. Also required is a small box, about the size of a small shoe box, a smooth table and about half a dozen lying, cheating, fun loving people [like UN diplomats and spin doctors]. Any number of people can play but four, five or six are the most ideal quantities. This is a fun game that allows, even encourages, players to be somewhat generous with the truth of their statements, as the name of the game implies. Each player is granted three lives and ONLY THE FIRST PERSON to lose all three lives is granted the spare life. Once a player loses all his lives, that player drops out leaving the remainder to play on to find out who is the "Lying Winner." A player is selected to throw first. The method of selection should be one which is agreeable to all and reasonably fair. A handy pack of cards would be useful. Under cover of the box and so that no one else can see, the first player throws all 5 dice together, covers them with the box and carefully slides the box and dice to the player on his left. At the same time the player calls out what hand he is passing on. The player receiving the dice, must now decide if he should accept them or not. If he decides not to accept the dice, he lifts the box to expose the dice to all and sundry. At this point an unscrupulous player may try to lift the box in such a way as to disturb the dice and hopefully alter their display, thereby ensuring that they do not show what was verbally passed on. Players who resort to this form of trickery and cheating are not worth having as game opponents and should be dismissed from that or any other game. Care must be taken when sliding the box from player to player and when lifting the box to expose the dice. [snip] jambutty.u-net.com
