Summary

The Mexicali drinking game involves some luck with throwing dice but also allows the unfortunate the option of bluffing their role in order to avoid drinking on their turn.

Sponsored

Equipment

• 1 empty solo cup
• 2 dice
• Alcoholic beverage of choice

Setup

Participants sit around a table. Place the two die in the empty cup, which will be used each turn to shake the dice inside and slammed onto the table so that only the person that rolled may view the result.

Rules

A turn consists of shaking the die inside the cup, dropping them onto the table so that they're covered by the cup and viewed only by the person whose turn it is, and then that person announced what they have. The goal is to beat the roll of the person that went before you, and if you did not beat their roll, you have the option of bluffing what you rolled, but if someone calls your bluff you lose and must drink. If they call your bluff incorrectly, they must drink. If everyone playing takes a turn without beating the highest roll, a new game begins.

Scoring is kept by combining the highest die's value with the lowest die's value to form left and right digits of a number, meaning if you roll a "2" and a "6", you have a 62 (not 2+6=8 or 26 as the '6' comes first because it's higher). Also, repeat numbers (doubles) count as the value of that number multiplied by 100 (ex: rolling 3 & 3 would result in 3*100=300).

There are also some other special roll-based rules:

• 21 (2 & 1): Known as "Mexicali", this roll beats everything. It can only be tied by another Mexicali roll.
• 31 (3 & 1): Reverse the order of play, counts as 31 but roller does not drink
• 32 (3 & 2): Social, every player drinks!

If you're caught bluffing on Mexicali, you finish your entire drink. Here is a full list of all possible role values to avoid confusion:

• 2-1 "21" Mexicali
• 3-1 "31" Reverse
• 3-2 "32" Social
• 4-1 "41"
• 4-2 "42"
• 4-3 "43"
• 4-5 "45"
• 5-1 "51"
• 5-2 "52"
• 5-3 "53"
• 5-4 "54"
