Default Anyone here ever play Call My Bluff or Liar\'s Dice or Perudo?

Reminds me of this game . . .

In those games, everyone starts with a cup and 5 dice. Everyone rolls (secretly). The start player proposes that there are a certain count of a certain number of dice under all cups -- say, seven 2s. The next player can either "Call his bluff", in which case everyone reveals their dice and the 2s are counted up -- or up the bid by either increasing the number of 2s ("I say eight 2s"), increasing the number of pips ("I say seven 3s") or both ("I say ten 5s").

If the bettor's bluff is called and he is short dice, he loses the # of dice from his cup that he was short. So if there were only five 2s, he loses two dice. If there were more 2s, then the person who called the bluff loses dice. If the bet was EXACTLY correct, then everyone but the bettor loses one die.

And you keep playing until only one person has dice left.

(There are a couple other rules/twists, but that's the gist). Fun game.
