About Bardo

Roll. Hide your cup. Then lie through your teeth.

Bardo is a game of bluffing and nerve for up to 6 players, classic Liar's Dice with a cozy tavern soul and a chaotic twist.

How it works

Everyone rolls five dice in secret. Take turns raising the bid on how many of a face are on the whole table. Think they're lying? Call their bluff. Think they nailed it exactly? Call Spot On. Lose the round, lose a die. Last one with dice on the table wins.

Bluff with friends or strangers

Up to 6 players online. Host a private table for your friends, or drop into an open lobby and lie to whoever shows up.

The loser writes the rules

In Event mode, whoever loses the round picks a twist for the next one: only one face counts, every cup lifts for a single second, you can't peek at your own hand for more than two… Chaos, by popular demand.

Play solo, never alone

Not in the mood for people? Fill the table with AI rivals. 7 distinct personalities, some cautious, some reckless, some impossible to read. (Meet Rum, Ace, Raven… and the rest.

Make the table yours

Unlock 13 characters, from grizzled adventurers to outright oddballs, each earned through its own challenge, win with a single die, land five perfect Spot On calls, pull off a +10 raise. Then pick your victory pose and gloat in style

A warm place to lie

A hand-built medieval tavern, an original soundtrack, and the firelit, friendly menace of a good story about pirates and chancers. No grimdark, just good company and bad intentions.
