About Bardo

✦ AI summary

Bardo is a bluffing dice game for up to 6 players where you roll in secret, bid on dice faces, and call out liars or spot-on guesses to eliminate opponents until one remains. It combines classic Liar's Dice with chaotic house rules, distinct AI personalities, and a cozy tavern atmosphere where every loss means the loser gets to twist the next round's rules.

Roll. Hide your cup. Then lie through your teeth.

Bardo is a game of bluffing and nerve for up to 6 players, classic Liar's Dice with a cozy tavern soul and a chaotic twist.

How it works

Everyone rolls five dice in secret. Take turns raising the bid on how many of a face are on the whole table. Think they're lying? Call their bluff. Think they nailed it exactly? Call Spot On. Lose the round, lose a die. Last one with dice on the table wins.

Bluff with friends or strangers

Up to 6 players online. Host a private table for your friends, or drop into an open lobby and lie to whoever shows up.

The loser writes the rules

In Event mode, whoever loses the round picks a twist for the next one: only one face counts, every cup lifts for a single second, you can't peek at your own hand for more than two… Chaos, by popular demand.

Play solo, never alone

Not in the mood for people? Fill the table with AI rivals. 7 distinct personalities, some cautious, some reckless, some impossible to read. (Meet Rum, Ace, Raven… and the rest.

Make the table yours

Unlock 13 characters, from grizzled adventurers to outright oddballs, each earned through its own challenge, win with a single die, land five perfect Spot On calls, pull off a +10 raise. Then pick your victory pose and gloat in style

A warm place to lie

A hand-built medieval tavern, an original soundtrack, and the firelit, friendly menace of a good story about pirates and chancers. No grimdark, just good company and bad intentions.Features

What Steam players say

✦ AI summary

Bardo is a free game that works as advertised and can be fun with friends once you figure out its mechanics, though it borrows heavily from Liars Bar with fewer features. Players note the AI lacks depth for solo play, the game suffers from bugs and poor explanations, and some experience performance issues with GPU usage running excessively high. The general consensus treats it as a decent free diversion for multiplayer sessions but not something to expect long-term value from.

Does what it says, and is freeware. The AI isn't especially clever so don't expect long term value solo, but again, freeware.

Cool, but broken and a bit too simple of a game. Do fix and incorporate it as a minigame in your future rpg.
Not recommended Aug 4, 2026
The game is fun with friends, but I didn't liked the feature which makes my GPU run on 95% constantly (3D engine), making my PC hot.
Recommended Jul 13, 2026
Game doesn't explain really how to play but once I figured it out it got fun and competitive real quick! Pretty much a clone of liars bar just less too do and its free so that's nice Could be a nice free small game too play with friends :D overall a 5/10

Games like Dying Light, where nightfall changes the rules

Games like Dying Light are easy to find if you only want parkour or only want zombies. These eight keep the part that matters: a city that becomes a different place after dark.

Games like Portal 2, where one idea carries the whole game

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
