Russian Quarters

Setup

1quarter
Lots of beer in cans
Table or flat playing surface
At least 2 people (more is better)

Rules to drink by

Start off with 1 player spinning the quarter in any fashion and then smacking it down with his hand, palm down. Do not remove hand. Player 2 then guesses heads or tails, if he is right then it’s his turn to spin and player one’s turn to guess. If he is wrong, player 1 then spins the quarter again, and while the quarter spins, player 2 chugs his beer. Player 1 than smacks the quarter down again and player 2 guesses, it keeps going untill player 2 guesses correctly.

If the quarter goes off the table, the player that spun it finishes their beer. If the quarter does not spin or falls flat before it’s smacked, the player that spun finishes his beer (thats called a sloppy quarter). If the chugging player finishes his beer as the quarter spins and slams the beer on the table, the player that spun finishes his beer. (You may check opposing players beer once per turn)

With more than 2 players, the spinning player may randomly choose who guesses.
