"BOORSHIT!"


"BOORSHIT!", originally uploaded by _borna.

Last night was Zweng's first night in town. We wound up playing a dice / bullshit style chinese drinking game with the locals at a gnarly dive bar down the street from us.

The rules of the game, as far as I could tell...

Everyone has 5 dice and "rolls" by shaking them around in a cup placed upside down on a table.
Players then privately look at their own dice, without letting other players see.
Turns are taken in a cirlcle and what you have to do on your turn is guess at how many of a specific number are on the table. For example, if you look at your own 5 dice and see that you've rolled 2 Three's, then consider how many people you are playing with (4 players x 5 dice each = 20 dice) you might guess that there are 6 Three's on the table.
The catch is that a player's guess must always be higher than the player before. So if my turn is next, I would for example say "7 Two's" OR I could call BULLSHIT on you - at which point everyone lifts their cups and we check. If it turns out that there are less than 6 Three's then you'd have to drink. If there are 6 or more, then you're safe and I lost the challenge - and therefore have to finish my glass.

Other important stuff to note:
-One's are "wild cards" and count for any number. I.E. 6 Five's + 4 one's = 10 Five's
-The loser of the previous round starts the new round.
-I'm unclear on wether anyone can call bullshit or if it has to be your turn. The game isn't any less fun either way.
