Fib boldly. Don't let it pop!

Yes. Fibs & Fizz is free to play in your web browser. There are no ads, no in-game purchases and nothing to buy: no coins, no chips, no extras. You don't need an account.

Yes. In Fibs & Fizz a fib is a move in the game, like a bluff in a card game: everyone knows it's allowed, and the reveal shows who was right. Nobody bets anything: the only stake is a cartoon soda can that pops in harmless foam, and a popped player keeps playing as a heckler. There's no money, no chips and no chat.

Two to six. Every seat can be a person or a critter bot, so one person can play against bots, and a family of six can fill the whole counter.

No. You can pass one phone or tablet round the table: one shake rolls every cup, and a curtain covers the screen between turns so each person peeks at their own dice in private. Or each player joins on their own phone with a room code, link or QR code. A TV or laptop can show the table for everyone.

No. Open play.qubesoftware.com/fibs-and-fizz in a web browser and tap Play here. It runs on phones, tablets and computers. Online play asks only for a name and a critter.

Everyone rolls five dice under a cup and peeks at their own. Taking turns, players bid on how many of one face are under all the cups together, like "at least four 5s"; fizz faces (the ones) are wild. Each bid must go higher, until someone calls Fib! Every cup lifts: if there are enough, the caller loses; if not, the bidder does. The loser shakes their soda can, which pops somewhere between three and six shakes. Pop, and you're out and heckling. The last can standing wins. Pile mode plays the same way with flavour cards played face down.

About 12 minutes with four players, about 5 with two, and 20 to 25 with a full table of six. The Quick fizz house rule, with shaky cans that pop sooner, makes games about twice as fast.

We'd say 8 and up. Cups asks you to count dice across the table and keep a straight face; the bid sheet shows how likely a bid is, which helps. Younger players can start with Pile, the card mode, which needs no counting.

Online rooms are private: friends join only with your room's code, link or QR code, and there's no public lobby and no matching with strangers. There's no chat: players can send six preset cartoon reactions, and the only words other players see are each person's name. No ads and no purchases.

The game is in English for now.
