Perudo

Each player rolls a set of hidden dice under a cup and makes sequential claims about the total face values showing among all players’ dice. Players either increase the previous claim or challenge it; when a challenge is made, all dice are revealed and the loser removes one or more dice from play. The game continues with fewer dice until only one player still has dice. Variations change the number of starting dice or the exact bidding rules; some play uses poker-style hand declarations instead of totals, but core play centers on deduction, probability and bluffing.
