I never saw this as a drinking game, but I wouldn't rule out the possibility of it being played as
one. It's called the Mooncake game and involves dice being rolled into a large bowl. Prizes are
awarded depending on the combinations (prizes were originally, you guessed it, mooncakes!). It
think it's only played in Xiamen and surrounding area but maybe wrong,

There are a few variations to the dice in cup game. While the standard game involves (as described
above) knowing one's own dice and guessing the sum total, there is a reverse version where you can
see everyone else's dice but not your own.

Then there is 7, 8, 9. where you take two dice and a communal glass/shot glass (mixed drink/beer
for the former and hard liquor for the latter...usually). People go around taking turns rolling
the two dice into a cup. If your dice fall out, you have to automatically drink the entire
communal glass (and then refill). If you hit snake eyes, you choose someone to drink and then go
again. If you hit a 9, you drink the entire glass and refill. If you hit an 8, you drink half of
what is remaining. If you hit a 7, you fill up the glass (seems to only be applicable if the glass
is semi-empty). If you hit a 6, you actually reverse the order in which people go around trying
their luck. Anytime you hit a number that requires action, you go again until you hit a number
that doesn't.

One pretty hardcore game is where you take six shot glasses (fill with drink or liquor of your
choice) and one dice. What you roll is which shot glass to drink. If you roll a shot glass that is
empty, you refill and it is the next person's turn. Theoretically, you could take six shots in one
turn, or none (of course). As you can imagine, it can be pretty easy to get drunk off this (though
it depends on what you're filling the shot glasses with).

Have fun!
