The player who made the line may distribute
the glasses as they see fit. (to his/her opponent, to
spectators or he/she can be greedy and drink the remainder themselves). The only qualification is that both
players have to drink at least one glass for the toast.
Tournament
Rules: hold that whoever made the line must drink half the line. If
the line was comprised of seven glasses he/she must drink at least four
of them. There is no rule saying you have to give any to your
opponent--but to not do so would be RUDE.
The empty glasses are placed on the base line of the person who DID NOT
make the line. He/she must then fill them from their own stock of beverage
and then gets control of the dice.
Note: If only
six were lined up then those are the ones that are placed on the
baseline, the remaining "unused glass" remains where it was.
If a Queen's number is rolled, the player is allowed to choose one glass
from anywhere on the board, toast "To the
Queen", drink the contents of the glass and place it on his/her opponents baseline. The opponent must
then fill the glass from their stake. The person who rolled the Queen's number
moves per as usual and retains control of the dice.
Note: Some
houses allow for Muggins. IF you do not "call" the queens number before you pick up the dice to roll again, your opponent may then call it and get to
drink the toast. Your opponent may choose any of the seven glasses
to drink. The glass then goes on the base line of the person who rolled it and they must fill it. They do, however, retain
the dice and continue with their turn. If the opponent does not call queen's number before the dice are rolled again,
then the opportunity is lost for everyone.
Tournament
Rules: Muggins is NOT
allowed in tournament play. It is a Courtesy and Chivalry thing.
The first person to not be able to fill a line loses the game. It is not considered good form to win on a "Queen's Number". To
this end, if you roll a "Queen's Number" and drink the toast, if your opponent cannot fill the glass, the glass still goes on your
opponents base line, but the person who rolled it must then fill the empty glass. Again, the player who rolled it still retains
control of the dice.
