What happens if no one rolls a 7 for several rounds?

The dice continue to pass around the circle until someone rolls a 7. If the game stalls, you can add a rule that rolling a six or eight lets a player assign one drink to keep things moving.

What is the final penalty for losing?

The final penalty is a full drink or finishing whatever is left in your glass. Groups can customize this as well, but it's meant to be a bigger consequence than regular penalties.

Can players roll simultaneously?

Yes, but simultaneous rolls can lead to confusion over who assigns drinks or takes penalties. It's usually better to take turns to keep the game orderly.

Can we use more than two dice?

You can, but it changes the mechanics. For example, with three dice, you could make 7 the sum of all three dice instead of just two, or require two separate dice to total 7 while the third rolls a specific number like 1.

Tips & Strategies

Rollers should aim to toss the dice with a little spin to avoid weak rolls that just drop flat. If you roll a 7 on your first try, assign drinks strategically to put pressure on opponents with lower tolerance. Keep track of penalties carefully, as forgetting could lead to disputes and derail the game. If you're close to losing, try to psyche out others with a comment about the high stakes of the final penalty.
