Mia on Windows Pc

The rules of very early games have not survived in any definite form but one old game called “Mia” is an entertaining game that does not have to involve gambling.

You will need a flat bottomed pot with a lid that can be easily lifted and two dice. These can either be regular six sided cubic dice or rectangular dice about 50 - 100% longer than the width and with the 1 and 2 spots on the small ends (Dice like these have been found in a number of early sites).

Each player has a number of lives, I suggest 3 to start with and the object is to be the last player surviving. any number more than one can play and the container is passed from one player to the next with the dice inside (being careful not to upset them of course).

To play the game the first player shakes the dice in the pot and checks the result. That player then has three choices.

A. They can tell the truth and say what they have rolled to the next person.

B. They can lie and say they have rolled something higher. or

C. They can lie and say they have rolled something lower.

The next player now takes the pot and they now have three options.

1. They can believe the previous player and try to roll something higher themselves without looking at what the previous player had rolled.

2. They can call the previous player a liar and look at what they rolled. If this happens and the previous player has said they rolled higher than the dice in the pot the previous player loses 1 life. However, if the previous player has rolled the same or more than the score they said the current player loses a life.

3. The current player may believe the previous player and pass the pot to the next player without looking at the contents. If this happens the current player accepts the stated call and the actual dice roll as their own. If the next player disbelieves the call it is the current player that may lose a life.

So far I have just said higher or lower for the scores but there is an order of score values which some find complex.

The score is made up not by the total of the dice but by their values. For example 1f you roll a 6 and a 5, it is not 11, it is called 65 (note: the high die is always the first digit and the low die always the second).

Now we come to the order of scoring. The highest roll is called “Mia” and is 21, no other score can beat this. Next in value are the doubles 11, 22, 33, 44, 55 and 66 in that order, it may seem strange that 11 is worth more than 66 but just think about those rectangular dice with ones and twos on the ends and it makes more sense.

Now things turn the other way around, 65 beats 64 which beats 63 and so on down to 32 which is the lowest score.

Thus the complete order is :

21, 11, 22, 33, 44, 55, 66, 65, 64, 63, 62, 61, 54, 53, 52, 51, 43, 42, 41, 32

Each time a player loses a life the pot returns to the preceding player and they roll again with the same choices A. B. and C. to start a new round.

Each player must declare a score higher than the preceding players or pass the pot to avoid losing a life. Remember, if you pass the pot on you now take responsibility for the dice in the pot.

If the pot is passed right round to the person who originally called the score they cannot pass it on without raising the score. However, if a Mia is passed back to the person that first called it, they can roll the dice and start again.

If “Mia” has been rolled, called or falsely called the person in line to lose a life loses two lives rather than one.
