Three Man (3 Man)
Introduction
A classic old timer that everyone should have played at least once.
How to Play
Everyone starts off by rolling a dice until someone rolls a 3. This person then becomes the Three Man. To make the visual effect of the game more interesting, the Three Man can be made to wear some sort of strange hat, which can be anything that can be worn on the head (such as a pair of knickers, a purple lampshade or a tea cosy).
The player to the left of the Three Man goes first, and play continues in a clockwise direction. The player rolls both dice and acts according to the following combinations:
| Roll | Rule | Action |
|---|---|---|
| 1:1 | Doubles | When someone rolls double they give the dice to someone of their choosing. This person rolls the dice and must drink for that many seconds. The dice may be given to two people instead of giving both to just one person. However, if the given dice roll to doubles, the original roller has to drink that amount. |
| 1:2 | 3 (total) | Three Man drinks. |
| 1:3 | 3 on Die | Three Man drinks. |
| 1:4 | Thumb | Thumb to table or floor (playing surface). |
| 1:5 | Index | Index finger to side of nose. |
| 1:6 | 7 (total) | Player to left of roller drinks. |
| 2:2 | Doubles | When someone rolls double they give the dice to someone of their choosing. This person rolls the dice and must drink for that many seconds. The dice may be given to two people instead of giving both to just one person. However, if the given dice roll to doubles, the original roller has to drink that amount. |

The dice may be given to two people instead of giving both to just one person. However, if the given dice roll to doubles, the original roller has to drink that amount. |
At any time during the game, the Three Man can be told to drink. However the person currently rolling may not tell the Three Man to drink; if they do, then they must drink.
If the Three Man rolls a 3 or combination thereof, they are no longer the Three Man and can designate any other player as the new Three Man. This also includes if the Three Man rolls a 3 during a doubles give.
