Three Man Hat

The topic of discussion during lunch today was drinking games. I lived for drinking games in high school. My all-time favorite drinking game is Three Man. There are many regional versions of the game. I felt it was necessary to post this for posterity. This is the Kountze version.

Necessary equipment - pair of dice, hat
Begin by rolling one die until someone gets a 3. That person puts on the Three Man Hat (usually something ugly or ridiculous) and obviously becomes Three Man. Roll the dice and drink beer.
Outcome of the roll determines whether someone drinks or the dice are passed to the next person.
1,1 - Double - Give away 2 drinks or make drinker roll to determine number of drinks.
1,2 - A three. Three Man drinks.
1,3 - Three Man. (Any time a 3 shows, Three Man drinks)
1,4 - Everyone touches their chin. Last person drinks.
1,5 - Everyone touches their forehead. Last person drinks.
1,6 - Seven to the Left. (Person to the left of the roller drinks)
2,2 - Double. Give away 4 drinks or make drinker roll to determine number of drinks.
2,3 - Three Man.
2,4 - Pass the dice.
2,5 - Seven to the Left.
2,6 - Pass the dice.
3,3 - Double, plus the Roller puts on the Three Man Hat and becomes Three Man. Three Man drinks two.
3,4- Seven to the Left. Three Man.
3,5 - Three Man.
3,6 - Three Man. Nine is Social (Everyone drinks)
4,4 - Double.
4,5 - Nine is Social.
4,6 - Pass the dice.
5,5 - Double.
5,6 - Eleven to the Right. (Person to the right of the roller drinks)
6,6 - Double.

If anyone rolls three doubles in one turn, that person gets to make up a rule. Popular rules were No Cussing, No saying drink, drank, or drunk, and making yourself Thumbmaster. Whenever the Thumbmaster put his thumb on the table everyone else had to. The last person had to drink.
Cheers.
