Format - 2 to 6 players

Duration - 15 mins

Each player's 5 dice are overturned and hidden beneath their cups.

Bids are made as to how many of each number are on the table.  E.g. player 1 bids 8 threes.  Each following player's bid must be increased e.g. 8 fours, fives or sixes. OR 9, 10, 11 etc threes.  Aces are wild and can make the count up.

Once 'Dudo' is called the last call is checked by all dice being shown.  If the bid is incorrect the bidder loses a dice and play continues.

There are further elements involving aces to change a bid, and players with one dice remaining becoming palafico.  These elements are not used when only 2 players remain. The winner is the last player with any dice remaining.
