Introduction: Liar’s dice is by far the most popular dice game in almost all cultures. Even if you don’t remember how to say the name of the game, if you just jump right in, most Chinese people will pick up what you are putting down. Although the titles of these games may vary, the rules are what should be focused on.
The two dice games that are most often played in China (and will serve you best in such occasions) are Liars Dice and One & Six.
Whether you’re cheers-ing with colleagues from around the world or in a club with the bass bumping so hard you couldn’t even understand your best friend, let alone a native Chinese speaker, dice games provide a great way to bond without the mind-numbing that comes along with socializing in a second language. Playing drinking games in a second language can be a recipe for inebriated disaster, but in China, dice games provide the perfect ladder to climb over any language barrier at the bar.
