To start the game everyone rolls in of the dice until someone rolls a three. The first person to roll a three is the three-man. Now whenever anyone rolls a three the three-man must drink. If the three-man rolls a three on their turn then they give the three-man to whomever they choose to. If they do not roll a three they are still the three-man until they do roll a three. The three man cannot quit until they lose the three.

There are also ways that people get drinks. When someone rolls a seven it is a 7-up which means the next person drinks. When someone rolls an eleven it is an 11-back which means the person before them drinks. When an eight is rolled it is a social and everyone drinks. If doubles are rolled the roller gives out the doubles to whomever they choose, that person then rolls and drinks whatever they rolls unless it is doubles then the person who gave them the doubles has to roll to see what they must drink, doubles would keep going back and forth until someone did not roll doubles. If double threes are rolled it is "Tradition" to give those doubles to the Three-man but it is not required.

The roller does not quit rolling until they do not get a roll of value. When a roll of value is not rolled the next person takes over. Here is a quick list of rolls of value.

• 3 = Three-man drinks
• 7 = 7-up
• 8 = Social
• 11 = 11-back
• Doubles of any number = hand out to anyone
• Doubles of 3's = Tradition to give to Three-man
