| title = Three King's Men Die}}
==Equipment==
The scoring of the game (if you wish to call it that) is relatively simple, although a bit tricky to remember at first.
There are five scenarios where one or more person will drink.
#If a three is rolled, either on the face of the die or in summation (so a 1 and a 2 is rolled) the Three Man will drink ""'''one"" ''' sip. If there are double threes, the Three Man will take ""'''two"" ''' sips. #If a nine is rolled, the person to the ""'''right"" ''' of the dice roller will drink ""'''one"" ''' sip.#If a ten is rolled, the person who rolled the dice will drink ""'''one"" ''' sip.#If an elven is rolled, the person to the ""'''left"" ''' of the dice roller will drink ""'''one"" ''' sip. #If doubles are rolled, the dice roller will give out the number of sips of the double. So if '''double fours ''' are rolled, the dice roller can give out ""'''four"" ''' sips. These sips can be given out however the roller decides, be it all to one person, or splitting them up among multiple players. #Lastly, if a ""'''seven"" ''' is rolled, ""'''everyone"" ''' must put their thumb on the edge of the table as quickly as possible, the last person to do so will take ""'''one"" ''' sip.
Multiple people can take sips one the same roll for different things. For example, if double fives are rolled, the roller must take a sip because it adds up to ten, as well as the roller giving out five sips to whomever they choose.
==Sequence of Play==
The person to the left of the Three Man will start by rolling the dice, if any of the above mentioned criteria are met, the respective person will drink. The roller will continue to roll until either no one takes a sip or they throw one or more of the dice off the table (more on this later). If no one drinks, the dice are passed to the person to the left. When the dice get to the Three Man, the same sequence of play is maintained, ""'''unless the Three Man rolls a three""'''. If the Three Man rolls a three (either on the face or in summation), they decide a new Three Man and give them the distinctive item. The dice are then given to the person to the left of the ""new"" Three Man and play continues as normal. Therefore, if the Three Man does not roll a three, but someone drinks they continue rolling until no one drinks or they roll a three. If the Three Man rolls and no one drinks, the dice are passed to the person to the left and the Three Man remains in that role for another round.
If someone throws one or both dices off the table they automatically become the Three Man and the dice are passed to the person to their left and play resumes as normal. If the current Three Man rolls the dice off the table, they will remain the Three Man, even if they roll a three or someone else throws the dice off the table in the next round. Note this only applies to the next round or one person throwing the dice off the table. If multiple people roll the dice off the table in the same round, the second person to do so will become the Three Man.
