+==== Mexico ====
+Mexico is another gambling game. Before beginning play, all players must agree to make equal wagers that can be divided into tokens, eg representing $10 with 10 one dollar bills, representing $25 with 8 poker chips, representing a bottle of vodka with 15 bottle caps, etc.
+Two dice are rolled by a player. Treat each as a digit, with the bigger number in the tens place. (eg: 2+4 = 42, 1+5 = 51). Bigger numbers beat smaller numbers (eg, 53 beats 51, 55 beats 44) and pairs always beat non-pairs (11 beats 65). A special dice roll, 21, is called Mexico and is the best a player can get, beating 66.
+All players wager an equal stake. A player, known as the dealer, starts the game with a roll. If he wishes, he may roll the dice a second or third time, but must stay with the last number rolled. The dice are then passed, and players may optionally roll as many times as the dealer did (1, 2, or 3 times) and must also stick with the last number rolled.
+Lowest-scoring player pays into the pot. Loser ties are resolved through a sub-round with doubled stakes. After finishing a round, the next player is the dealer. Play continues until all but 1 player have ran out of money, who collects the pot.
