Quarters

Overview: A fun drinking game for a large group of players. Players take turn trying to bounce a quarter into their shot glass to make their opponents drink.

No. of Players: 4+

Supplies:

  • 2 quarters

  • 2 shot glasses

  • Solo Cups (more cups=longer game)

Setup:

  • In the center of the table, pre-fill as many cups as you'd like with your drink of choice.

  • Players gather around a round table.

  • Begin the game with 2 shot glasses and quarters on opposite sides of the table.

How to Play:

  1. At the same time, the players with the shot glasses must try to bounce their quarter into the shot glass.

  2. Once the quarter is made into the shot glass, the shot glass and quarter is passed to the player to the right.

  3. The purpose of the game is to "catch up" one shot glass to the other.

  4. If you and the player directly to your right have the shot glasses and are both bouncing, and you make it before they do, pass your shot glass and quarter directly over them to the next player.

  5. The person whose shot glass just got passed must grab a cup from the middle it, drink it, and continue trying to bounce the quarter into their shot glass.

  6. Once they make their quarter into the shot glass, the shot glass and quarter continue to move around the table like normal until someone else is able to pass the other shot glass.

  7. Continue passing players and drinking drinks until you are all out of cups in the middle, then fill them up and start over!

  8. For extra punishment, fill one cup in the middle with a full beer or a shot. This way whoever is last at the end of the game gets a bonus prize.

Rules:

  • If you make the quarter into the shot glass on your very first try, you can move the shot glass and quarter to any person anywhere on the table.

  • Once you make the quarter into the shot glass, you may choose to shoot it one more time. If you make it, the shot glass begins to move around the table in the other direction until someone else can switch it back. If you miss, you must continue shooting until you make it again to move the shot glass in the normal direction.

  • If at any point in the game you accidentally bounce the quarter into one of the cups in the middle, you must drink the cup the quarter landed in before you continue trying to bounce into the shot glass.
