Setup

Quarters is a popular drinking game which involves players bouncing a quarter off of a table in an attempt to have the quarter land, without another bounce, in a drinking glass (or cup) on that table. The game is popular at parties, especially in colleges and universities in the United States and Canada.

The player bouncing the quarter is referred to as the “shooter”. In some variations the glass is empty and each player has a separate glass to drink from, while in other variations the glass that the shooter is aiming for contains an alcoholic beverage.

Rules to drink by

Players take turns shooting, generally proceeding counterclockwise around the table. If the quarter lands in the glass, then the shooter chooses any player in the game to take a drink, either from their own beverage, or perhaps from the glass containing the quarter. The shooter’s turn doesn’t end until he or she misses.

After a miss the shooter passes the quarter to the next player. Sometimes, after a miss, the shooter can opt to play “chance”, which gives her another attempt. A successful “chance” shot means the shooter can continue shooting normally, but a miss results in a penalty drink.

If the shooter hits three in a row, they are allowed to make up a rule, similar to the rules in President. Rules should be creative and fun, and can involve performing a ritual when drinking, or prohibiting certain common words. A player who breaks any of the rules must take penalty drink. As the game progresses and the players become inebriated, the many rules often prove difficult to remember.

Players are disqualified from the game when they cannot, or do not want to, consume any more beverage. The last remaining player is the winner.
