• Drinks

Setup

How to Play Sixes

1. Place empty cup in center
2. Take turns rolling the die
3. Roll a 6 = pour some of your drink in the cup
4. Roll another 6 = stop pouring, next player's turn
5. Third 6 = you drink the entire center cup
6. Any other number = just pass the die
7. Cup gets refilled each round
