Russian Roulette is a game that, according to Wikipedia, was first mentioned by the Swiss-French writer Georges Surdez in 1936 and originally had six loaded chambers and one empty one (here, you get some trivia with your drinking game, just another way that we consistently over deliver here at Sneaky Sipper). The Russian Roulette that’s become a part of the zeitgeist is a game where people sit around a table and load a six shot revolver with a single bullet then each person spins the cylinder, points it at their head, pulls the trigger, and then either passes it to the next person or goes to live on a very nice farm upstate.
Just like traditional Russian Roulette, you have a one in six chance of pulling the trigger on a loaded chamber. Unlike traditional Russian Roulette, you win by pulling the trigger on the loaded chamber in this game.
Requirements:
- 1 six sided die.
- Full drinks for everyone, we normally recommend beer sneakily put into a soda can so that you can be photographed without worrying about anything but if you’re trying to be more authentic shots of warm, plastic bottle, bottom shelf vodka work too.
Playing Russian Roulette Drinking Game
- One player rolls the die. This is the loaded chamber.
- Pass the die to the left and that player rolls. If they hit on the loaded chamber, they do their shot or chug their beer.
- The player who drank gets a new drink and rolls the die to decide the loaded chamber.
- Go back to step 2.
Please, please please please drink responsibly. Don’t drink too much and definitely don’t drive if you’ve been drinking. Call Uber or Lyft instead, it’s way cheaper and way better for everyone involved.
