    1...dice game is Liar. Basically it's like playing Spades where you bet how many "sets" there will be on the table when all the cups are lifted up It's takes a little more to understand...just know if you bet 3 4s and there are only 2 4s you are branded a Liar and a die is taken away....same as if you bet 3 4s and 4 4s appear.

    2. that thing Bootstrap placed on jack's hand is the Black Spot. In Pirate legend if the pirate received the Black Spot, he was marked for a hunt by the pirates organization (yes some groups of pirates were guilded and used a letter bearing a black dot...See Muppet treasure Island...heh or even Treasure Island) or in another account it was a supernatural omen that marked you as cursed. In the movie I believe it was the supernatural kind.

    3. the compass always works, it's just a magic compass that only shows what you want most in the world. If you are unsure of what you want, then the compass will spin in all the directions of the things you want. Jack wanted the Key...Jack wanted the Chest...Jack wanted a woman....Jack wanted more rum....he was uncertain in his own mind what he wanted and therefore the compass did not show his answer clearly as it it was showing all of them at once. Elizabeth on the otherhand wanted Will, but Jack convinced her that she needed to want the chest so that Will could be saved.

    THIS IS THE CORRECT ANSWER

    1. The game that Will Turner plays with Davy Jones with the dice is called Liar's Dice, a gambling game where each player has to make consecutively higher bids based upon how many of each die they claim are on the table (two threes, four fives, etc), until a player is called a liar, in which case all the dice are shown and it's seen if the bid is correct.

    2. bootstrap bill turner puts the black spot on jack's hand. it signifies that davy jones is after him and will find him.

    3. it works on elizabeth b/c she knows what she wants. captain jack doesnt know what he wants and u can see him struggling through the movie.

    hope this was helpful ♥
