Poker Dice is a board game for 2–12 players, 10 minutes per game, and ages 8 and up. Its main mechanics are Dice Rolling and Betting and Bluffing.
Poker Dice is a dice game using five (5) special dice of the same name (Poker Dice). The dice have playing card values from a nine to ace, instead of the 1 through 6 pips on standard dice. Poker Dice can be played by any number of players and the rules for the game are very simple. Each player in turn gets up to three rolls of the dice to make the best standard poker hand, players put aside dice on each throw to build the 'hand' and the player with the best poker hand wins (suit has no relevance). Poker Dice are often used to play a public domain version of Liar's Dice (different rules than the Bluff or Perudo versions of Liar's Dice).
Poker Dice supports 2–12 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Poker Dice is 10 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Poker Dice for ages 8 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
