What You Need for Mexico Dice
You will need three dice per player. One die is to keep track of a player`s lives and should be set so that the six faces up.
How to Play Mexico Dice Game
To start, all players place their life die so that the six is facing up. Next, all players roll their other two dice. Then all players add up their two dice and announce their sum.
The player who has the smallest sum loses a life. This player will then move their life die so that the five is face up.

For the second round, players will again roll both of their rolling dice. Again, the player with the lowest sum will lose a life.
In the event of a tie, both players with the lowest sum lose a life.

The game continues in this manner. When a player is at his last life, the next time that he is the player with the lowest sum, he is out of the game.
