Buffalo

Rules

1. The Buffalo Regularium operates on a 12-hour cycle: from 00:00 – 11:59, all drinks must be held in the dominant hand; from 12:00 – 23:59, all drinks must be held in the non-dominant hand.
2. If anyone yells “Buffalo!” while you’re drinking with the wrong hand, you must finish your drink immediately.
3. Any person observed drinking with their dominant hand is subject to a Buffalo call in accordance with the rules in force at that time.
4. The rule applies 24/7, forever — even after the game “ends”.
5. The prohibition against drinking with the dominant hand extends to the vessel’s straw. Holding a straw in the dominant hand while drinking shall constitute a Buffalo violation in equal measure.
6. Utterance of the phrases “Six Seven” or “Sechs Sieben” shall constitute a Buffalo offense subject to Rule 7.
7. Any player who commits a forbidden-phrase violation must immediately open and consume a drink in full. The absence of a drink at the time of the offense provides no exemption — a drink must be acquired forthwith and consumed in its entirety without delay.
8. Utterance of “Schere Diggi” and/or display of its corresponding hand sign (🖖🏻) shall trigger the immediate acquisition and full consumption of a drink. The absence of a drink provides no exemption. Rule 7 applies in full.
9. Should a player consume another player’s drink and subsequently receive a Buffalo call, the offending player shall order the identical drink at their own expense. The penalty clock begins upon receipt of said order.
10. Should the Shotcaller call Buffalo upon a player, and the accused player has not upheld the 3-minute rule, the accused player is in turn entitled to hold the Shotcaller liable for one shot, payable immediately.
11. Double Buffalo — If you call a false Buffalo (the person was actually using the correct hand), you must finish your own drink.
