Background & introduction
In classic mode, be the last player with dice. Party mode lasts 2N rounds; the highest score wins, including ties.
This guide covers WANGO classic elimination and party mode for 2–6 players, against AI or in friend rooms. See the reference for wild ones, bid conversion and challenges. WANGO does not implement Palifico or Calza; commercial Perudo editions vary.
Core rules & scoring
For faces 2–6, count that face plus all ones. When bidding ones, count only ones. Four sixes plus two ones count as six sixes.
Between non-one faces, increase quantity with any face 2–6, or keep quantity and increase face. Quantity cannot exceed all remaining dice.
From a non-one bid of q, bid at least ceil(q/2) ones. From q ones, bid at least 2q+1 of a non-one face. Five sixes may become three ones; three ones require at least seven sixes.
A bid means at least that many, so equality favors the bidder. The challenger wins only when the actual count is lower.
N players play 2N rounds without elimination, normally transferring one point. Each player has two pressure uses for the whole game, used with their own bid or challenge to raise the round transfer to three. Pressure never stacks; negative scores and tied winners are allowed.
WANGO caps bids at the remaining dice and omits Palifico and Calza. Party mode and pressure are WANGO modes. Classic rounds remove one die from the loser; zero dice means elimination. Points have no cash redemption.
