Setup
Each player needs one currency bill (any denomination, from any country, as long as it has a serial number). Players sit in a circle or around a table. Choose a starting player.
How to Play
Each player takes a bill and secretly looks at its serial number. The starting player makes an opening bid, predicting how many times a particular digit appears across all serial numbers. For example, bidding "three 6s" means they believe there are at least three 6s in total on all the bills. The next player can either make a higher bid (such as "three 7s" or "four 5s") or challenge the current bid. Bids are made by stating a digit and the quantity of that digit believed to be present across all bills. The quantity can be the same as the previous bid but must be a higher digit, or it can be a higher quantity of any digit. The game continues with players either increasing the bid or challenging the current bid. Once a bid is challenged by every other player, the bills are revealed to count the digits. If the number of the specific digit is less than the bid, the player who made the bid loses and pays a predetermined penalty (like a dollar) to each player. If the bid is correct or underestimated, the challenging players each pay the bidder.
