So, I was just playing the Bluff Carnival game, and I thought I understood how it works, but then this particular situation came up:

Your Opponent has two dice. [5] [6]

You Have five dice. [5] [6] [6] [2] [5]

Opponent made a bid of at least three fives (which I challenged, because they only have two dice, they can't have three fives.... right?)

You lost the challenge, you lose a die!

Uhhhhh...... how?

- I believe because the game goes with not just what /they/ have but what is all in play. This includes your dice as well. So their bid of saying there are 3 fives is accurate because you have 2 and he has 1. Making it 3 fives in play.

Ohhhhhhhhhh. That would make sense. I guess I misunderstood it to work more like poker. Thanks.
