Perudo

2-10 players 15-30 min 6.9 Board Game Geek Rating

Players secretly roll five dice, then make escalating claims about all dice totals across the game, such as "twelve fours exist." Any claim can be challenged by another player. When challenged, dice are revealed—whoever was wrong loses dice. This bluffing and deduction game continues until only one player retains dice.

Get Ready

Setup the game with these step-by-step instructions before diving into your turn.

1
Place the game board in the center of the table
2
Put one die near the "1" space on the board to use as the prediction die
3
Give each player one dice cup and five dice (remaining dice are not used)
4
Open dice cups by pushing down on the bottom layer until it snaps into place
5
Each player rolls all their dice to determine starting player
6
Whoever rolled the most ship's wheel symbols starts; ties broken by highest total from other dice

5
