I had never heard of it, it sounds a good read. I googled it and they are making a movie soon.

I used to have a Lucky 8 Ball which was consulted many times, up to and including whether to move house or not. It said yes and got lost in the subsequent house move, so it's luck ran out.

Interesting that the author is an American but he is popular in the UK. A Scottish coworker turned me on to the book. Sick twisted fun.

"Liars dice." It's a bar game between 4-7 people, max stake is 5000 riel per game per player - never more. A 6 person game lasts about 20-30 minutes.
Sensible, keep low stakes to make it interesting but low enough not to lose friends over.

Yep. It used to be $1, but with the lack of them in circulation we agreed to go crazy to up it to 5000 Riel. Single note only, no dumping your fat stack of 100 riel notes!
