Clever & crafty this liar's dice experience is an evolution on the classic bluffing game Fluff features palm-fitted rolling cups for poker-style peeking & critter-adorned dice for wild-style play to inspire bolder bidding Fluff up the bids or challenge the calls Be the best fluffer to outlast the other cast of characters Each player places dice in their cup & gives them a good shake Take a peek at the dice Your goal is to call the total number of a particular dice across all the hands at the table So the first player places a bid such as I think there are 4 threes across all hands Player to the left increases the bid or calls You can only raise the value of the last bid by either increasing the value or quantity So if I'm the next player I can say 5 THREES or keep the quantity the same & raise the value to 4 FOURS Your other option is to call Fluff! on the existing bid Say I bid 9 FIVES & you have no fives You might think I'm bananas so you call Fluff! All players reveal their dice If there are 9 FIVES or more you would lose a die If there are fewer than 9 FIVES I lose a die & I'm sad You may also call Fluff! when it's not your turn but you will lose two dice if you're wrong & the bidder still loses only 1 if you're right It's risky & frisky! When you lose a die set it aside for all to see & start fresh with a new roll The person who lost the die starts the next round with the opening bid When you lose your last die you're out Now you're sad too Play continues until only one player has dice left That player wins & may celebrate in any way they choose So be the best fluffer to outlast the other cast of characters Players 2-4 Playing time 20-30 mins Ages 8 ...

Fludd By Hilary Mantel (Paperback, 2005)

From the double Man Booker prize-winning author of Wolf Hall' this is a dark fable of lost faith and awakening love amidst the moors Fetherhoughton is a drab dreary town somewhere in a magical half-real 1950s north England a preserve of ignorance and superstition protected against the advance of reason by its impenetrable moor-fogs Father Angwin the town's cynical priest has lost his faith and wants nothing more than to be left alone Sister Philomena strains against the monotony of convent life and the pettiness of her fellow nuns The rest of the town goes about their lives in a haze a never-ending procession of grim grey days stretching ahead of them Yet all of that is about to change A strange visitor appears one stormy night bringing with him the hint the taste of something entirely new
something unknown But who is Fludd? An angel come to shake the Fetherhoughtonians from their stupor to reawaken Father Angwin's faith to show Philomena the nature of love? Or is he the devil himself a shadowy wanderer of the darkest places in the human heart? Full of dry wit compassionate characterisations and cutting insight Fludd is a brilliant gem of a book and one of Hilary Mantel's most original works
