Seven-Eleven Doubles
Encyclopedia : S : SE : SEV : Seven-Eleven Doubles
Seven-Eleven Doubles, also known as Sloppy Dice, is a drinking game usually played by 2-6 people. The players sit around a table with a glass in the center. At the beginning of each turn, the glass is filled with the desired amount of alcohol, which varies greatly depending on the players. One player rolls two dice attempting to roll a seven, eleven, or doubles. If the player doesn't do this, the next person repeats the process. When a 7, 11, or doubles is rolled, the player selects another person to drink. The chosen person must drink the alcohol and slam it down to the table while the original roller rolls the dice. If the drinker finishes before another 7, 11, or doubles is rolled, play passes to the next person. Should the drinker fail, they must finish the current drink and then drink again, with the process repeating. Play continues in this fashion until players decide to quit, as there is no way of "winning" the game.
Special Rules
- The roller can not touch the dice until the drinker has touched the glass of alcohol. If they do, the roller must instead drink the glass, and play passes to the next player. This does not prohibit the roller from using other ways of getting the dice close to them(using a beer bottle is a common strategy). Because of this rule, "faking out" rollers is generally done in an attempt to confuse them into touching the dice.
- In extreme circumstances, another person may drink the glass when another player was chosen. If this occurs, this person must now race against the roller, and should he or she lose, he or she is now subject to drinking again, instead of the original person picked. This rule is only used in cases in which a person chosen has been picked a lot during the game and is having a difficult time continuing, or, more often, when a person has had to drink multiple times in one turn as the result of the roller continually beating them. Invoking this rule is often referred to as an "Arora". This rule is used sparingly, as its overuse tends to make the game less fun.
- Some games include a "shot rule". This game is played with 3 dice, but only two dice are regularly rolled. If someone rolls doubles, they then roll the third die. A triple allows the roller to pick anyone to take a shot of hard alcohol (which is considered a "free drink", as the drinker doesn't race against the dice, and the dice are passed to the next player). If the third die is not the same as the first two, the regular rules apply.
