New game

Not too many games going on right now, so let's play a new game!
Maybe some of you know this game. It's really quite simple.
Each player is given a set of dice. Once everybody has rolled and looked at their dice, players must bid on at least how many dice of a certain value they think there is for all players. At some point, a bid will get challenged and all dice are revealed to see if the bidder is right or wrong. It's a game of bluffing, strategy, skills and luck.
Here are the rules of the game:

The game will be played on this board:
Note that the pirate flag represent wildcard bids. In this game, dice with value 1 are considered wildcard and can replace any value, but a wildcard bid only counts on 1's, making it more difficult.
Here's how the game will be played (forum-style):
- At the beginning of the game, I send a PM to each player, containing the values of their dice.
- A player order is set, and players take their turn one after the other as soon as the previous player finishes his/her turn.
- When a player takes his/her turn, s/he posts in this thread if s/he wants to raise the bid, challenge the previous bid or use "show and reroll".
- If s/he challenges the bid, the play is stopped until I reveal all the dice.
- If s/he raises the bid, s/he must write in the post what the new bid is. It must be valid or I will intervene and call back the play.
- If s/he uses "show and reroll", s/he must write in the post the values of the dice s/he wants to expose in public. I will then check that the play is valid and reroll his/her remaining hidden dice (by sending a PM). Once the person receives her new dice, s/he must immediately post a raising bid.
The game can last a few weeks, so to speed up play, I want players that are active and will check the forums and the game regularly. I won't send you PMs to remind you to play.
If you don't post your action for your turn in 24 hours after the previous player has finished, then I assume you're challenging the previous bid.
I'm looking for 4-6 players. The number of dice you start with will depend on the number of players.

turn order = random.
signs up closed 5 players is good enough.
Each player will start with 4 dice
