(Tablero da Gucci)

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.
