Brief Description: The most popular coin drinking game.
Players: Unlimited
Alcohol: Beer
All players sit
around a table, or similarly hard surface, and, in turn, try to
bounce the quarter off the table into the juice glass. If
successful, the player tells any other player to have a drink,
as well as receiving another turn. If the player fails, play
passes to the next in the circle.
If the player is fortunate enough to make
three bounces (or higher for more advanced players) in a row,
this player may make a rule. Anything goes.
Some favorites are:
If any rule
is broken during the course of play, the violator subsequently
"consumes some beverage."
Early days variations:
The glass that you bounce into also contains
the beer to drink. The trick is to then drink the beer without
swallowing the quarter.
If the player bounces and hits the rim of the
glass, without the quarter going in, s/he receives another free
attempt.
If the player misses, and feels confident
enough, s/he may "chance" for another attempt. If the player
makes the chance attempt, things proceed as if it were a normal
turn. However, if the chance attempt fails, that player must
drink the beer.
Following a failed "chance" attempt, the player may wish to attempt a "kill." if the attempt is successful, play continues as normal, but if the attempt fails, the player must drink a full glass/can/bottle of beer non-stop.
