Setup

Two players face each other with both their hands in a fist in front.

How to Play

Both players count down “Three, Two, One.” And then simultaneously yell out one of these options: 0,5,10,15, or 20 and show their hands as open or closed. For example, one player has their left hand closed and their right-hand open. At the same time, the other player may have both their hands open. In this example, the total is fifteen because there are a total of 3 hands of five fingers, which total fifteen. Simultaneously they both yell out a number “Zero,” “Five,” “Ten,” “Fifteen,” or “Twenty”! Players calculate the total number combined from the four hands, and if it’s the same as the number a player yelled out, they win, and the other person has to drink (or do something else to them).
