When you select a die face, the selected die face will be highlighted. When you select a quantity the selected quantity will be checked off, as you can see in the picture on the right:
When bidding, you are claiming that there is at least a certain quantity of dice face values on the table, including in the dice of your opponents.
In the image, we selected a Die Face of 2 with a Quantity of 7. It means that we bid that the total occurrences on the table of the die with a face value of 2 are at least 7.

Bid - After you have selected your desired bid, click on the "Bid" button. |

The next player and every subsequent player in a round can choose to bid on the same die face or on another die face.
Whether they choose to bid on the same die face or a lower die face, they must bid on a higher quantity of the die face.
If they choose to bid on a higher die face, they can leave the quantity as is.
For example if the person before you bids: Six Fives (Six-Quantity, Fives- Dice Face).
You can bid: Six Sixes, Seven Fours, Eight Fives, Nine Threes, Seven Threes, Eight Twos etc except for ace which will be explained later.
