'''Biscuit''' (aka Bizkit or Biskit) is a [[drinking game]] originating in France using a pair of standard dice.
'''Biscuit''' (also referred to as '''Bizkit''' or '''Biskit''') is a [[drinking game]] played with two [[dice]].

==Game Stages==
===Finding the Biscuit===
At the beginning of a round each player rolls the dice once. The first player to roll a three becomes the "Biscuit" for that round. The Biscuit drinks for every three that is rolled during the round.

===The Round===
Starting with the "Biscuit" each player rolls the dice and follows the rules stated below. Each player continues rolling until he/she rolls a number combination that results in no one drinking.

===Ending the Round===
A round is over once the dice rotate through the group of players and return to the "Biscuit". The former "Biscuit" player is skipped and play resumes at the next player by searching for a new "Biscuit".
