Last night I had a few friends over for a quiet night in, a few drinks and a bit of home cooking. Once we had eaten and realised that the collection of games all seem to date back to when I was 10 (think Outburst and Pictionary Junior) we had another look in the cupboard and found a compendium of 36 drinking games. Looking through the games in the compendium realised that most of them were rather too complicated for the amount we had already drunk so we took the two dice that were in the box and use these as a basis to a very simple drinking game.

The rules were incredibly simple, roll the two dice and perform the relevant action that corresponds to the sum of the two dice. The list of actions was as follows:

1. Doesnt exist (there are two dice)
2. Drink 2 digits of your drink
3. Drink 3 digits of your drink
4. Roll Again (3 consecutive roll agains = finish your drink)
5. Choose one other player’s drink and finish it
6. Eat two spoons of coleslaw (it was left over from the meal)
7. Miss a go
8. Repeat the last player’s action
9. Make everyone a drink in 1 minute. If you fail finish everything that y0u have made
10. Finish your own drink
11. All other players drink 3 digits
12. Nominate one other player to finish their drink

After a spate of 9s being rolled in succession and most people being triple parked with their drinks we changed the rules for 9 to sample each players drink.

There were only four of us playing but we did finish off 2 bottles of wine, 2/3 bottle of Vodka, 30+ bottles/cans of beer. It was a good evening and a good game to pass the time.
