description Mexico Overview
Mexico is a bluffing dice game played with two dice, usually with rolls hidden from the other players. A player announces a result, generally claiming it equals or exceeds the previous announcement, and the next player decides whether to accept the claim or challenge it under the local rules. In the commonly documented ranking, 2-1 is called Mexico and is the highest roll, above doubles; rules for turns, penalties, and ties vary by version.

help Mexico FAQ
How do you play Mexico with two dice?
Each player rolls two dice in secret and announces a result to the next player. The next player must accept the claim and announce a higher result, or challenge it.
What happens when someone challenges a Mexico roll?
The dice are revealed after a challenge. If the announced result was false, the player who made the claim takes the penalty; if it was true, the challenger takes it.
Why are rolls hidden in Mexico?
Hidden rolls make bluffing possible because players cannot directly verify an announcement. The game therefore combines dice luck with judgment about whether another player is exaggerating.
Is Mexico a game for more than two players?
Yes, Mexico is commonly played as a turn-based group dice game. More players create longer chains of announcements and give bluffing a larger social role.
