Tufts Battleship

Setup

cups, ping pong balls, beer

Rules to drink by

there are 4 “ships” 1 is 4 cups, 1 of 3 cups, 1 of 2, 1 of 1.. you set up your ships any line, place anwyhere you want on your side, diagonal, sideways, doesnt mattter. so it looks like a battleship board but with cups.. the point is to sink all the ships, hit all the cups. if you hit a cup, they drink it and turn it upside down. couple rules… if you sink a ship, which is hittin all the cups of the connected ship you get balls back. other team has to say “you sunk my…” 4 cup ship is the carrier, 3 cup ship is the battleship, 2 is the cruiser, and 1 is the tugboat. so u only get balls back once you sink a ship.. another rule, 1 cup of your choice has no beer in it. thats the spy cup. if the other team hits it, they pour 1 beer spread out into their remaining cups. if you know what the spy cup is you hit it off the table or it falls over and thats done, they turn it upside down and put it back on the table like the other hit cups. 1 other cup has a full beer in it with a shot glass in it.. say you shoot at the cup w/ the full beer and hit it, they drink it and flip it over.. ifyou hit the shot glass which is floating in it and the shot glass sinks and the ball bounces out which usualy happens they drink the beer, and fill it back up w/o the shot glass and put it back in its spot with another full beer in it. if you get it in the shot glass, the game is over.. so basically you have to hit that full beer cup twice. play till all the cups are gone. you can only get balls back if you sink a ship. once you lose you have to put your head down and say “you sunk my battle ship” … for overtime, its called Man to man combat!!! you set up 3 cups, 1 in each corner, and 1 in the middle. play ruit normally, no rerack, no balls back. its pretty mcuh 4 beers per team per game in the end. girls cant compete in thisgame.
