Description

Set of 6 leather, lidded cups, each holding 5 dice will allow two to 6 people to play "Dudo", a board game well known in Latin America.


Each leather cup is engraved with intricate designs depicting llamas, peasants, pre-Inca "Nazca Lines" or other well known figures of the Incas. 


A colorful stripped bag is provided to store the game.


The game of Dudo, also known as "Cachito", "Perudo" or "Peruvian Lier's Dice" is said to have been taught to the Spanish conquistadors, by the Incas, in the 16th century.  It is a game of guessing and bluffing, for any number of players, who will each need five dice and a throwing cup to conceal them.
