What is beer die?
Beer die, also known as snappa, is a popular drinking game that involves tossing a die (or dice) across a table with the aim of landing it in your opponent’s cup. If you successfully land the die in their cup, they must drink the contents of the cup and you win a point. The game is typically played with two teams of two players each, but can also be played one-on-one.
Setup
Before you can start playing beer die, you’ll need to set up the playing area. Here’s what to do:
1. Find a sturdy table that is at least six feet long.
2. Place four cups at each end of the table, in a diamond shape.
3. Fill each cup with an equal amount of beer.
4. Each team should sit at opposite ends of the table.
The Rules
Now that you’ve got the table set up, it’s time to get into the rules of beer die. Here’s what you need to know:
The Toss
1. To start the game, one team member from each team should toss a coin to decide who goes first.
2. The team that wins the coin toss gets to make the first toss.
3. The player making the toss must stand at their team’s end of the table and toss the die underhand across the table.
4. The aim is to land the die in one of the opponent’s cups. If the die lands in a cup, the opposing team must drink that cup of beer and the team that made the toss is awarded a point.
5. If the die lands on the table without landing in a cup, the toss is considered a “bad toss” and does not count.
The Catch
1. The opposing team can catch the die before it lands in a cup. If they do catch it, the toss is considered a “good toss” and does not count.
2. If the die bounces off a cup and is caught before hitting the ground, the toss does not count and no point is awarded.
Scoring
1. Each successful toss into an opposing team’s cup earns a point for the tossing team.
2. The first team to reach 21 points wins the game.
Fouls
1. If a player steps over the center line while making their toss, it is considered a foul. The opposing team is awarded a point and the team that committed the foul loses their turn.
2. If a player interferes with an opponent’s toss, they commit a foul. The opposing team is awarded a point and the team that committed the foul loses their turn.
Tips and Tricks
Now that you know the rules of beer die, it’s time to start practicing! Here are a few tips and tricks to help you become a beer die master:
