Mudhouse Caps

Setup

Tape measure
12 oz. clear plastic cups
lots of beer
about 150 boiled beer bottle caps (twist off is better)
puke bucket optional

Rules to drink by

Singles:
Two cups filled with beer (or water if you are a pussy) sit exactly 7 feet 6 inches apart. If you don’t care about your carpet you can make permanent marks on your floor. Hardwood is good as well. You and your opponent sit on the floor with your crotches even with the middle of your cups. Each person takes turns tossing a beer cap at the other person’s cup. Absolutely no kneeling! Your butt cannot leave the floor. If you sink a cap, your opponent has a chance to redeem himself by making a cap in return. If he misses, he drinks the cup (with the cap in it) and he or she who sank the cap gets a point. If he makes it, he redeems himself/herself and shooter 1 throws again. If he/she misses that shot, he/she drinks but no point is awarded. Points are only for an odd number of caps sunk per series. Example: 1 man, 3 man, 5 man etc. Deemers are for even numbers sunk per series. Example 2 man, 4 man, 6 man. Counts keep adding up until someone misses in a series. (I myself have maxed out in a 16 man series) Everytime a 4 man or any multiple of 4 man (8 man, 12 man etc.) both parties drink to show respect to each other as decent caps players. This continues until someone reaches 7 points or if both players are at 6 points, wins by two points. Be warned, this game becomes addictive if you are at all competitive. Also make sure you boil your caps before playing or god knows you’ll get sick. Also, you will be drinking lots of beer in a short amount of time so it might be smart to have a puke bucket handy (ever see a milk chug?).
Doubles:
Same rules except two people per side. One person on right side of cup and one on left side of cup. Order of throwers is chosen prior to the game. Example left side team 1 then right side team 2 then right side team 1 then left side team 2. This version is more difficult because it’s harder to get in a rhythm, but is much more if you and your partner are of opposite sex. Find enough teams that are decent at play and eventually you can have a caps tournement. Winners get good booze as first prize, losers keep playin until an ultimate loser is crowned and given a bottle of crappy booze. Mad Dog 20/20 or Night Train will do.
