Gameplay
Players Gather around a circle with booze in hand.
Players must count upwards from one in Roman numerals, except that the Roman numerals are replaced by words. These can vary greatly depending on house rules.
The most common version is...
The word poo is used instead of I.
The word bum is used instead of V.
The word dickie is used instead of X.
The game is started by any person saying "poo" (refering to I). The next player clockwise must then say "poo poo" (II). This order then continues around the circle until a player says the wrong thing, a player takes too long, or a player laughs. Violators must drink.
If the game reaches XL (40), the player must say "dickie shank" emphasising "shank". Then all players drink.
Big League Rules (Variation A)
Some play that when XL (40) is reached, the player must say "dickie shank" emphasising "shank", everyone must open a new beer (or refill their cup) and drink the entire thing.
