Description

While exploring an old abandoned house, you have stumbled upon a book and some odd looking dice. Suddenly, a devil appears offering you and your friends a wager. Do you accept?

Devil's Dice is a lightweight dice rolling game for 2-6 player's. A twisted cross between Coup, and Liar's dice. Lie, steal, and chance your way to victory by being the first to summon the devil!

Each player starts the game with one skull token and two dice. The dice are hidden behind a cover screen. Each die has 6 unique symbols.
Satan's pool is the board in the center which dice will be added to throughout the game.
When you've assembled all 6 symbols between your hand and the public die in Satan's pool, you declare Satan's set and win!

On your turn, you can take any of the actions listed below, regardless of whether you have the required symbols:

Imp's set: If your all your dice match, with Imp's counting as wilds, you may gain a die from the common pool.
Skull: If you have a Skull, take two skull tokens from the common pool.
Scythe: If you have a Scythe, pay two skull tokens to try and steal a die.
Pentagram: If you have a Pentagram, re-roll the dice in Satan's pool, and if you roll any pentagram you gain up to one. Also block Scythe's steal.
Trident: If you have a Trident, Take up to three skull tokens from another player. Also block Trident's steal.
Flames: If you have a Flame, Gain 1 skull token, then re-roll your current hand.

Any player may challenge your action or block(claiming you are lying about having the requisite symbols). When challenged you must then reveal your dice hand. If you are caught lying, the action or block is cancelled, and the challenger steals a die from you. If you were telling the truth, instead the challenger loses a die and rolls it into Satan's Pool, and play continues after.
