This is a very simple drinking game that can be played with 5 dice, a cup, some beer, and a few people. Basically, each player rolls the dice and the person with the highest score at the end of the round drinks the beer.

To start the game, fill the cup about 1/3 full of beer. Determine which lucky player is going to start the drinking game and follow the steps below:

1. The first person rolls all five dice and removes any (5)’s, or any combination of dice that add up to 5.


2. That player then takes the rest of dice and rolls again, also picking out any (5)’s or combinations of dice that add up to 5.


3. This continues until there are no 5’s or sums of 5 showing.


4. The sum total of the numbers on the dice is his/her score.


5. For example, if player 1 is able to keep a (5), (4), (1), their score would be ten.


6. The other players follow these same rules, and add their score.


7. Who ever at the end of the round has the highest score has to drink the cup of beer.


8. The last person to drink the cup gets to fill it for the next person to drink.

If you happen to have 5 dice for each player, you can all play at the same time. Anyone caught cheating should be forced to take a shot, and probably kicked in the nuts… your call.
