deck of cards

4 ping pong balls
best played with beer CANS

Rules to drink by

Begin by placing a filled cup in the middle of a table and spread cards around much like kings.

Place three balls around the cup and give the fourth ball to the first shooter.

Sit around a table and shoot by bouncing the ball off the table and into the cup. Only one bounce off the table is allowed.

If player makes the shot all other players have to drink.

If the player misses the shot he/she must drink then pick a card. Each card plays a role in the game.

2 – 2nd chance : Shoot again this time with no penalty if you miss.

3 – spelling bee : Give the next player in the rotation a word to spell. If they misspell the word they drink. If they spell correctly or the player who drew cannot spell their own word he / she drinks.

4 – Floor : the next player in the rotation must shoot with one hand touching the floor.

5 – Stayin Alive : All players stand and begin to chug. All players except the last one remaining drink again. The closer you were to being the last man standing the less you drink.

6 – Turn a trick : The next shooter must call a trick shot. it must be agreed upon by the other players as a valid shot Examples: off the floor, off the wall etc..

7 – Heaven : The next shooter must shoot with his/her arm above his head.

8 – Crazy 8 doubles : The next shooter must bounce twice. Drinking is doubled for this shot as well.

9 – Commit a crime : Drawing a 9 allows you to steal any players finished beer can. ( this will come into play later)

10 – Say when: This card give the holder a pass to tell someone to drink at will. One use only. The last 10 drawn chooses who drinks the cup at the end of the game. They can choose by themselves or have a shootout.

J – Jack attack : The player who drew and the player whos next both arm themselves with two balls each. When they are both ready each player begins shooting. The first player to make 3 in wins. Loser drinks.

Q – Keep it clean : A player holding a queen is penalized for knocking over any can. They must drink for every can they knock over.

K – Shooting rule: When a king is drawn the said player makes a rule which is in effect for 1-2 turns around depending on how many players. A rule could be for example: everyone must shoot lefty, everyone must recite a movie quote before they shoot etc.. It can be anything involving shooting.

A – race : Each player grabs a ball as soon as the ace is drawn and begins shooting. The first person to make one wins. All losers drink.

Heres an additional part to the game : When a player finishes a beer can he/she may place that beer can anywhere touching the middle cup or another can. After finishing three cans you can begin to stack.

have fun!!
