rage cage

the one i am undefeated at

  1. fill a pile of cups and put them in the middle of the table.
  2. two players start across from each other, each with an empty cup and a ball.
  3. bounce the ball into your cup. sink it and pass the cup and ball to your left. sink it first try and you can send it to anyone.
  4. the stacking rule: sink yours while the next person is still shooting and you stack your cup into theirs. they drink a cup from the middle, then grab a new one and get back in.

what you need

  • a big table
  • lots of cups
  • 2 ping pong balls
  • beer or whatever you are pretending is beer

civil war

beer pong with no turns and no mercy

  1. two teams of three, on either side of a long table.
  2. each side sets up three triangles of cups, one per player.
  3. there are no turns. everyone shoots at once, as fast as they can.
  4. a ball lands in your cup, you drink it and pull it. lose your whole triangle and you are out.
  5. any ball on your side is yours to throw. last team standing wins.

what you need

  • a long table
  • 18 cups per side
  • at least 6 ping pong balls
  • beer
  • a bystander to chase the balls

liar's dice

finally, a game where sitting down is allowed

  1. everyone starts with a cup and five dice. shake, slam, and peek at your own dice.
  2. going around the table, each player bids on how many of a face are showing across every cup, like "four 3s."
  3. the next player either raises the bid or calls liar.
  4. when someone calls liar, everyone lifts their cup and you count. bid holds up and the caller loses a die. bid falls short and the bidder loses a die.
  5. lose all your dice and you are out. last liar standing wins.

what you need

  • a cup for each player
  • five dice for each player
  • a straight face
