The most fun I've had in a pub in a long time is a chinese drinking game called Shai Zi. Think of it as a simple version of poker designed to get you drunk as fast as possible, while being easy enough to play drunk.
Here's the rules as I know them if anybody is interested:
Everybody gets a cup and five dice each. You shuffle your dice, then look at what you have without letting anybody else know what you have. Loser starts first by betting how many of a particular number are on the table (including everybody's cups). For example: "Four Threes".
Then you go round the table in a clockwise, and each person has to either raise the bet, or call the player's bluff. Raising the bet means that one of the numbers that you say has to increase. If the previous person said "four threes", then the next person can say "four sixes", or "five twos" but can't say "four twos".
Once somebody has been called, everybody raises their cups and the dice are counted. If you lied and are called, you drink. If you call someone and they haven't lied, you drink. Easy.
Oh, and ones are wildcards, but if somebody bets on ones then it is no longer a wildcard.
We also added the rule of thumbmaster which accelerated the proceedings...

I actually have a (German) board game version of this very same game. The wildcard is a star (and replaces the 6 on the dice). The board looks like this: http://www.sholing.force9.co.uk/bluff2.jpg

I'm not sure why you need the board though. Isn't the winner the last man standing?
