Canadian 3 Man drinking game

Ready for an up over twist on the down under version of 3 man?

Contributed by one our friend up in Canada (Ryan), Canadian 3 Man offers a unique twist on the classic 3 Man drinking game played here in Australia.

Give it a try and let us know what you think!

How to play Canadian 3 Man

To start the game, each player rolls a single die.

The first person to roll a 3 is now Canadian 3 Man.

From here, play continues to the left.

Each turn, you continue to roll until you make a dead roll (your roll doesn’t match any rules below). Once you make a dead roll, you pass the dice to the left so the game can continue.

Dice number rules

• Roll 3 doubles on your turn: Make a rule which is then in place until the end of the game.
• Roll a 3 on single die: Canadian 3 Man Drinks.
• Roll a double: Give away that number of drinks (one person or split amongst players).
• Roll double 3’s: Canadian 3 man drinks 2. Roller gives out 3 drinks.
• Roll a 1 & 1: Sociable. Everyone Drinks.
• Roll a 4 & 1: Touch your nose with the same hand as roller. Last person drinks.
• Roll a 5 & 1: Touch your ear with the same hand as roller. Last person drinks.
• Roll a 7 total: Person left of roller drinks (called 7 ahead).
• Roll a 11 total: Person right of roller drinks (called 11 behind).

Anything else is a dead roll. Your turns is over. Play continues to the left.

Hand over Canadian 3 Man title

To stop being Canadian 3 Man, the player who is currently Canadian 3 Man must roll a 3 on one of the dice during their turn.

From there, they can pass the title of Canadian 3 Man to whomever they choose (it’s most beneficial to give to the player behind you, as it has to go around the table before they get a chance to get out of being Canadian 3 Man).

When the new Canadian 3 Man is decided that person must drink.

The old Canadian 3 Man can continue rolling until they get a dead roll.

Ending the game

Anyone can call the game over at any time.

Everyone except the Canadian 3 man.
