In order to play beer die, very little is required; a table, at least one die, regulation cups, and some beer.
<br>'''Table'''<br>
{| style="float:right; border:1px solid #BBB;margin:.46em 0 0 .2em"
|- style="font-align:center;"

|}
:Ideally the table will be between 4' and 8' (see below), give or take a few inches. The best material to play on is '''''melamine''''', providing a strong and even bounce to the die. In truth any material can be used, but layers of paint, plywood, etc. often cause sporadic bouncing.
<br>'''The Die'''<br>
:The best six-sided dice have crisp, 90° edges, providing clean bounces. Rounded die are increasingly common, but they should be avoided at all costs. Seeing as one will get progressively inebriated as the game continues, multiple dice are recommended to save you the trouble of chasing after rogue die.
<br>'''Regulation Cups'''<br>
:The experienced drinker will know the importance of a good regulation cup, and the same ideology applies to beer die. If at all possible, regulation cups should be used in all instances of beer die. Red solo cups are a good substitute, but it's just not the same.

#Arrange the table so it is ''2''''-''4''' off the ground
