    • The shaker shakes all 5 coins in a cup or their hand, then stacks them on the table without looking.
  2. Making the Call:
    • The shaker calls out heads or tails before revealing the coins.
    • The player drinks once for each coin showing the opposite of what they called (e.g., if they called heads, they drink for each tails).
