LIAR'S DICE

What to you need: A cup for each player, with five dice in each cup. 

Objective: To not get caught lying!

Instructions: 
1. Everybody places their dice in the cup, turns it over and shakes the dice inside. 
2. After stopping shaking, everyone peeks inside to see their dice. Don't let the other players see your numbers! 
3. The first player calls out how many of a certain dice number is facing up among everyone's dice. For example, calling out 'two fours' means the player thinks that there are at least two dice with the number four facing up among all the players' dice, including his or hers. (PS: It doesn't matter if there really isn't two fours in the round, lying - as the name of the game suggest - is encouraged!) 
4. The next person (sitting clockwise) then has two options: to call out a number that is of a higher sum than the previous number (such as 'two fives', 'three fours' etc) or to call the previous person out on their call. 
5. If one player believes that the caller is bluffing, then everybody must reveal their dice. So for example if the caller calls out 'two fours' and there is indeed two or more dice with fours facing up, the player who called him or her out must drink a shot. If the caller indeed is caught lying, the caller must drink. 

Additional rules: Ones are wild!

Objective: To guess the correct amount of fingers shown twice in a row.

Instructions: 
1. Two players face each other and with fingers in a fist.

3. Each player has the option of showing 0 (two fists), 5 (five fingers, one fist) or 10 (10 fingers). 
3. At the same time as the player shouts, both players need to 0, 5 or 10. 
4. If the total sum of the fingers equal the same number that the player calls out, the player gets to call out again. 
5. If the total sum does not equal, the second player gets to call out. 
6. If the player calls out twice and gets the total sum to equal the fingers both times, then the other player must drink.
