This game is one to be played in a group with as much or as little drinking as you like. Standard International drinking rules apply and if you are unsure of them then a simple search will reveal them.

The standard premise of the game is to guess correctly the total number of fingers on show. Each person takes it in turn to guess and in a similar manner to that of rock paper scissors, everyone either shows a fist  or a flat hand, symbolising 0 or 5. If a player guess correctly then they must say “thank you for a wonderful game of fives” without a smugness or celebration. If a player fails to do this, they must drink and stay in the game. If a player guesses incorrectly then the person sitting next to them has a guess and it continues. Last one in the game must also drink. It’s a fun game that can take a long time in the beginning but down to the last 3 or 4 becomes quite intense!
