HISTORY:
In "single hand" liar's dice games, each player has a set of dice, all players roll once, and the bids relate to the dice each player can see (their hand) plus all the concealed dice (the other players' hands). In "common hand" games, there is one set of dice which is passed from player to player. The bids relate to the dice as they are in front of the bidder after selected dice have been re-rolled.

The genre has its roots in South America, with games retailer there being known as Dudo, Cachito, Perudo, or Dadinho; other names include "pirate's dice," "deception dice" and "deception." The drinking game version is sometimes called Mexicali or Mexican in the United States
