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.
