Dummy
Roll a number, then roll it again – every failed attempt is a sip.

How do you play Dummy?
The first player rolls a number, say a 4. Then they keep rolling until another 4 comes up.
They drink as many sips as the rolls it took.
Variations
- Cap: stop after six rolls – that keeps it fair.
- Two dice: the total has to be rolled again, which takes longer and adds suspense.
- Side bets: the others guess beforehand how many rolls it will take; whoever is right hands out sips.
Tips
Always agree on a cap. Without one, a round can get very long for an unlucky player.
Agree on drinks and amounts before you start. The game works just as well without alcohol.
