Description (642 chars)

A drinking game involving rolling a die to move, and then performing the action listed on the space you land on. Certain spaces allow the player to draw a card from the deck, on which is again an action that must be performed, for example the coveted "Bathroom Break" card. The winner is the one with the most points at the end of the game. Points are usually accumulated through drinking, but occasionally for completing task such as singing a shanty, or balancing a glass on your forehead for half a minute. The game is timed, and the duration is chosen at the start of the game. Alternatively, play continues until all players are drunk.
