Three Man (also referred to as Mr. Three or Hat Man) is a drinking game played with two dice.^[1] It can be played with at least 3 people but it works better with around 5.^[2] The objective is to avoid drinking.

Rules

Steps of play

Select the first "Three Man"

This player will remain the "Three man" until they roll a 1-2 or 3-(any).
Once they have, the next player to roll a 1-2 or 3-(any) becomes the new three man.

Three man rolls dice

Drink are dispensed based on the pips shown on dice

If no drinks are dispensed, turn ends and dice are passed to next player

Roll results

Create any rule.  If rule is broken during game, the infringing player drinks[3]

2-2 3-3 4-4 5-5 6-6 (doubles)

Give away the amount of drinks that matches the total amount of pips shoing on dice[3]
        ex. 5-5 means you would give away 10 drinks.  These can be split up between multiple players if desired

The "Three man" drinks. If roll was 3-3, the "Three man" drinks twice.[3]

Person to the left of roller drinks. If 3-4, "Three man" also drinks.[3]

6-5 (total of 11)

Variations

There are several variations to the game:

1. Doubles: according to this variation, whoever rolls doubles (Player A) can "give" them to another player (Player B), who then rolls both the dice to see how many times he/she must drink. If B rolls doubles, the dice are returned to A, who must roll and drink twice as many times as the value that he/she rolls (e.g., if A rolls 3 and 2, A must drink 10 times).^[1] In another variation, a player who rolls doubles three times in any turn has the right to make a rule.^[2]
2. Party Foul: If the dice falls off the table, the player drinks for each fallen die.^[3] When a "Sloppy Jalopy" rule is applied, the player with fallen dice is loudly admonished as a "Sloppy Jalopy" and immediately becomes the new Three Man.^[4]
3. Any roll of 1:
   1. 1 and 1 follow the usual rules for passing off doubles. 
   2. 1 and 2 makes the roller Three Man. 
   3. 1 and 3 makes the Three Man drink (as with any roll of a 3). 
   4. 1 and 4 thumb to table or floor: last player to place his/her thumb must drink. 
   5. 1 and 5 turn ends. 
   6. When a 1 and 6 is rolled, the player to the left drinks.^[3] 
4. Bathroom penalty: If someone is in the bathroom when it is his turn to roll, he must take 1 drink for every 5 seconds he is late returning.^[3]

5. Opposite Sex: Any variation of the "6" is classified as "opposite sex" in which all players in the game of the opposite sex to the roller must drink
