Perudo (Dudo)

Origin: Perudo, usually called Dudo in South America, comes from the Andes (Peru, Bolivia, Chile). Legend has it the Spanish conquistadors learned it from the Inca in the 16th century; what is documented is its life as an Andean pub game, from where it reached Europe as a boxed game in the late 20th century.

Setup: Everyone gets 5 dice and a cup. All roll hidden under the cup and peek only at their own dice.

How to play:

1. The starting player bids a quantity and a face, for example three fours
2. The bid covers every die on the table, not just your own
3. The next player must raise (more dice, or the same number with a higher face) or challenge
4. A challenge is called by shouting Dudo. Everyone reveals and counts

Special rule: Ones are wild and count for every face.

Drinking:

• Wrong challenge: the challenger drinks and loses a die
• Correct challenge: the bidder drinks and loses a die
• Lose your last die and you are out, and you buy the next round
