How to Play Buck Dice

Buck Dice is a game that has been commonly played in bars to determine who has to buy the next round of drinks. Buck dice is a game from which you want to be eliminated, as the last player left loses the game.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Get three dice and roll the dice to determine the throwing order. The person who rolled the highest number goes first, the person who rolled the second most goes second, and so on.

2. Have the person who rolled the lowest number roll one die to determine the point number. The number she rolls will be the number that will be used to score points throughout the game.

3. Begin the game by having the first player roll all three dice. Score a point for every time he rolls the point number and five points for every time he rolls a three-of-a-kind of numbers other than the point number. If the point number comes up on all three dice, the player is eliminated.

4. Pass the dice to the next person once a player makes a roll that doesn't score any points. Continue play in the order determined in Step 1, keeping score and eliminating people who roll threes-of-a-kind of the point number or as they reach 15 points.

5. Declare the last player left as the loser of the game.

Tips & Warnings

• If a player makes a roll that takes her over 15 points, that roll does not count and she must roll again. Players can only be eliminated by hitting a three-of-a-kind of the point number or reaching exactly 15 points.
