I NEVER
This is a great game for a group of close friends or people who really like to share hints of their dark pasts. Only supplies are people with enquiring minds and beer. You probably won't get drunk playing this but it's a great ice-breaker for a party.
Everyone sits around around a table, or on the floor if you so desire. One person goes first by making a true statement that begins with "I never...." For example, "I've never been to Disneyland." Then, if any other player has done what the person said, they simply drink.
As the game progresses, the statements tend to get more personal and explicit. But the game only works when people are honest. However, if somebody drinks on an "I never..," no explanation is necessary. For example, if someone says, "I've never had sex with an inflatable doll," and someone ends up drinking to it, no explanation is needed, just a drink of affirmation.
BEER PONG
Usually played with four people and two ping pong balls. Each side begins with ten cups on ends of a table. Two players per team.
Each round you get two throws-the object is to get the ball in the opponent's glass. There are different styles that can be played. You can either have the ball only bounce once or not at all.
If you make one shot per round, one of the opposing team members has to drink the glass with the ball in it. If you make both balls in one round, the other team has to drink both glasses and another turn is awarded. Then the first team to make the ball in all the glasses wins.
Penalty for losing is to drink whatever the opposing team has left in their cups.
FLIP CUP
You need a minimum of six players (less than six isn't as fun), one cup for each player. Two teams of three are selected, standing across from each other at a table (preferably long). Fill all the cups approximately half way with "fluids." The starting end of the table is decided between the teams. Thus each team constitutes: lead off, middle-man, and anchor. The start of the game is up to you...counting to three works but feel free to be creative.
First players from each team proceed to consume their beverages...upon completion, they position their cups on the edge of the table. Proceed to "flip" the cup (at least 360 degrees) so that it lands straight up or down (it's easier than you think, just takes practice.) If a player misses, proceed to retrieve the cup and try again. Once the "flip" is achieved, pass the cup to the next player in line. That player proceeds to consume and the cycle continues until the last player in line completes their "flip."
This scores the team one point, and the other team has to finish their beverages, no matter where they are in line. Preset what score you are intending to play to before hand. A good game is to 15...win by two.
