The Hyperlogos

This is a good game to start in a Bar. Simple, straight-forward, no gray areas. Mid-high buzz factor. Supplies: people in a bar (preferably ones you know, or people you want to know), and five dice.

The game is played by counting the "ones" that are rolled. The person who rolls the seventh 'one' gets to pick the shot that will be consumed at the end of the game.

This is one of those "gee, lets get blasted" games invented after tireless rounds of other games. Very high buzz factor. Supplies: people, beer, a quarter, a cup, and a die.

The cup is passed, containing a quarter and a die. The shaker shakes to the person next to her/him (the shakee). The shakee then calls heads or tails. If the shakee is correct, the shaker drinks once for each spot showing on the die (6 times if you roll a 6).

This is a really simple game that I've played. All you need is a pair of dice. Everyone rolls and the lowest person drinks the difference between the highest and the lowest rolls. If you tie, double the difference to the loser next round. It's very quick drinking and easy to do.

Simple game, high boot factor.

Line up six cups, size unimportant.
Get a pitcher(s) of beer.
And a single die.

Everyone sits around and someone starts by rolling the die. (clockwise or counter, direction matters not)

Modified rules to Mexican; but unlike Mexican, its got a Very High buzz factor. Supplies: beer, people, dice, and a cup that you can't see through.

Choose someone to go first, and roll the dice, take a peek, and don't let anyone else see the roll. You can either tell the truth on what you rolled or lie about it.

Takes a bit to catch onto, but once understood, quite a competitive game. Requires people, beer and dice. Mid buzz factor.

Someone arbitrarily goes first by rolling the dice. The score for the dice is as follows:

Quite similar to, but not as involved as Three Man. Still, a high buzz factor. Standard supplies: beer, people, liquor, dice.

Roll two dice. Anything that adds up to six (i.e. 2-4,5-1) or has a six in it (i.e. 6-1, 6-2, 6-2, 6-3, 6-4, 6-5), you drink a "good" gulp of beer.

Developed at the University of Victoria in British Columbia, Canada by 3 alcoholic roommates and their alcoholic friends. The game is based loosely on Three Man.

A most excellent good time dice game. Supplies needed are the standard people and beer, plus dice. Check the variation below for additional optional supplies.
