Designed for both casual and serious players, Michigan Liar's Dice can be played against one to three opponents, and provides a simple interface that helps you make your best bid. The game has the complete set of bids including pushing, exact (spot on), pass, and special rules when a player gets to one die.

This game was developed by the Soar research group at the University of Michigan, and uses Soar as the underlying engine for the game AI. Soar is a general cognitive architecture and has been used for developing a wide range of intelligent agents for training, computer games, and robotics.

The game AI uses probabilities, heuristics, and even a model of the opponent to determine its bids (but does not include any learning, yet!). Michigan Liars Dice is the first iPhone app powered by Soar. Learn more about Soar at sitemaker.umich.edu/soar.

Works alright and looks clean. But it is not the best and other problems have already been posted in the reviews.

real AI in a game

Much better than all the other apps out there. Really fun to be able to play against multiple smart AIs. Can you set difficulty of each AI?

Great game!

Fantastic implementation of Liar's dice. Very addictive, and the AI is a great training foil to train against. Really well executed!

Love it!!!

Good game, but the AIs lack a little intelligence. It is really transparent that the intelligence lacks when you get down to a few dice and one opponent. And when there is only one opponent and you and the AI pass, why can you challenge your own pass? It's still fun.

Great implementation; Great AI

This is a very clean and challenging implementation of Liar's Dice. I'm finding the Medium setting to be a good challenge and have three more difficulty settings to go as I get better at the game.

Love it!

Well done...captivated me longer than temple run! Good challenge on the hardest setting!

Doesn't work correctly

For some reason it says that the number of dice on a certain number incorrectly. Like I'd challenge someone's bid and it would say I'm wrong even when it exposes the dice and I'm right.
