Needed To Play Three Man

Three Man Drinking Game Rules

1. Starting the Game:
   • Players sit around a table, and one player begins by rolling both dice.
2. Rolling the Dice and Drinking Rules:
   • Different dice rolls lead to different actions, typically as follows:
     • If a 3 is rolled (on one or both dice), the Three Man drinks.
     • If a 7 is rolled, the player to the roller’s right drinks.
     • If an 11 is rolled, the player to the roller’s left drinks.
     • If a 9 is rolled, everyone drinks.
     • If doubles are rolled, the roller gives out drinks equal to the number on the dice (e.g., rolling double 2s means giving out 4 drinks, which can be split among players).
     • The player who rolls the dice can make a rule for any other number combination.
3. Becoming the Three Man:
   • If the Three Man rolls a 3, they appoint a new Three Man and are relieved of their duty.
   • The role of Three Man can also change based on other pre-established rules or dice combinations.
4. Continuing Play:
   • Play continues around the table, with each player taking turns rolling the dice.
   • The game can continue for as many rounds as the players desire.

Safety Considerations

• Drink Responsibly: It’s important for players to drink within their limits. Never pressure someone to drink more than they’re comfortable with.
• Non-Alcoholic Options: To make the game inclusive, consider using non-alcoholic drinks for those who prefer not to drink alcohol.
