Pirate Dice Game

There is a game that's been out for over a year with the real Disney Pirate's look to it. Shake your dice, tip over the cup and carefully spy what you have. Take turns lying like a rug, or don't. Just don't let on, and don't get caught without any dice or you are out of the game! It's best played with three or more players. What makes this a good game, besides all the fibbing for fun, is that it is a great pickup game and it lasts about five to ten minutes per game. It may take longer if you like to play up the drama and suspense.

For all you pirate fans out there, the best part of it all is, if you think your friend is lying, you get to say that famous line from the movie, "Will Turner, you're a liar!" Everyone then promptly takes up their cup and the truth is revealed. Was your friend correct when they said there were five sixes? You better hope not, or you lose one of your precious die! Arrrrrrh!

If you don't want to get the rules online and use coffee mugs and snitched dice from other games, Pirates of the Caribbean Pirates Dice: A Game of High Seas Deception is not too expensive. I've seen the price vary, but you certainly shouldn't have to pay more than 15 bucks for it. It comes with four rubber cups that look very real, including some barnacles for that extra special touch; 20 dice, which is five for each cup; and some instructions. There's a nice twist to this game. There are no 1's. They are little skull and crossbones that are wilds. Certainly makes things more interesting!

UPDATE: This game is reaching collectible status and is getting harder to find, so grab it while you can!
