| Name | Kinky Quarters |
| Instructions |
Game is best with 6-8 players.
Each player sits in a circle with their cup in front of them. Players take turns in any pre-determined order.
One player will try to bounce a quarter into another's cup. The player can pick anyone's cup to try he wishes. If the player gets the quarter into his victim's cup, that person must "talk dirty" to him (ex. 'I want your wang big boy' or something similar) to him/her. If the person hesitates, he/she must chug their beer.
The only strict rule is that after a person has drank, the next player is not allowed to attack the person that drank. After one other person's turn has gone, however, that person is fair game. This is done so no one can gang up on anyone.
This is a good game to play with a girl you might be interested in ;)

| Name | 9 Heads |
| Instructions |
A very good game for a laugh - will get you drunk very quickly if you're unlucky, and will cost you nothing if you're lucky. Ideally, the more the merrier.
A coin is flipped and passed around the group, keeping count of each time it lands on heads. The person who gets the third head has to pick the most vile shot they can conceive. The person who gets the sixth head has to go and buy the concoction, and the person who gets the ninth head has to down it - usually accompanied by some very entertaining facial expressions.

| Name | Anchor Man |
| Instructions |
Two teams sit on opposite sides of a table and try to get a quarter into a full pitcher of beer. To start the game flip a coin, and have a team call heads or tails in the air. If correct that team starts.
Each team member shoots a quarter, trying to make it land in the pitcher. Each player only shoots once per turn even if they are successful in putting the quarter in the pitcher. Once everyone on the team shoots, the other team now shoots in order. The first team to put all 4 of their quarters in the pitcher is the winner. This means the losing team has to drink the contents of the pitcher (usually 4-5 beers depending on the size of the pitcher). But before they drink, the winning team has to pick someone to be the "Anchorman".
The anchorman must drink last and finish the remaining beer, whether it is just a sip or the whole pitcher. Teammates of the anchorman must drink first and decide how much they leave for the anchorman. While drinking, the teammates cannot take their lips off of the pitcher. If they do, they must pass the pitcher to the next person. The anchorman can take his lips off of the pitcher but has a 2 minute time limit to finish the pitcher. Once he finishes the pitcher, fill it up again and play the game once more.
When we play this game we usually have a wide variety of beer that gets poured into the pitcher to make it even nastier. Our rivalries get so intense sometimes that we actually "let the anchorman go dry". We have had situations where our heavier drinkers have finished a full pitcher of beer alone, but that was back in the college days. On a scale of 1-10 on the heavy drinking meter I would rate Anchorman a 10. It was not unusual to play this game and finish 15-20 pitchers in a night.

| Name | Baseball |
| Instructions |
This is one of my favorite games and if you are good at it people are guaranteed to get smashed. Get four different sized glasses (shot glass, coffee mug, beer mug, pitcher). First align all the glasses in a line starting with the shot glass in front and the larger glasses lined up behind it in ascending order (smallest to largest). Each glass should then be filled with beer.
The different sized glasses represent baseball hits (shot glass is a single, behind that a double, then a triple and finally a home run). This game can be played with as few as two people.
The participants are divided into teams hopefully of equal size and skill. The game goes like this: each team has three chances (outs) to bounce a quarter into one of the filled glasses from a certain distance away from the first glass (shot glass). This distance has varied somewhat each time I've played but about a foot away from the first glass is typical. If a quarter goes in a glass, the opposing team must drink that glass and all the glasses below it. All glasses must be finished and are immediately replaced and refilled before the next batter throws his/her quarter.
People on each team need to establish a batting order and stick to it when shooting their quarters. If someone misses a glass that counts as one out. If someone gets one in then the inning continues. When three people have missed in an inning it's time for the other team to bat. This goes on for nine innings.
Scoring is simple, runs are driven in by teammates forcing them in with numerous hits. (i.e.. a single followed by a triple scores the single and leaves a man on third for the next batter. A double after a single would put runners on first and third, etc. A home run clears the bases and scores the hitters run.) When the game has finished nine innings the runs are tallied and the losing team has to drink all the cups one more time.

| Name | Battleship #2 |
| Instructions |
This is a 2 vs 2 quarters variation game. The teams sit across from each other on a table. Two lines of 4 cups each are put in the middle of the table, about a foot apart like this:
X X
------
0000
0000
------
X X
The game uses 2 quarters. Each team picks a side of the coin. One team is HEADS and the other is TAILS. The coins are flipped to decide who gets the quarters for beggining play. Once the quarters are assigned. Play begins by trying to sink the "battleship" that is in front of the other team by bouncing the quarters in the cups and following the rules below.
- Your teams "battleship" makes up an imaginary line, you can only bounce the quarter from behind or on this line that your teams ship is on.
- If the quarter lands behinds a team's ship line, it is that team's quarter. If it lands in the middle it goes to the team that is named it's side. (Note: if quarter is spinning you may slam it down to speed up the game to see what it is.
- You may not use the quarter until the drink it was sunk in is fully drank.
- Once a drink is finished you must replace it in the spot it was originally in. (Note: while you teammate is drinking you may shoot in between the cups for a better angle..."Shooting the Gap")
- The winning team is the team that sinks each cup in the other team's "battleship"... "you sunk my battleship!"

| Name | Box |
| Instructions |
This is one of the simplest games around. Grab an empty beer case box bottom and a quarter. You should have a fairly large group of people because the game is fast and highly intoxicating.
A player takes a turn by throwing the quarter into one of the indented circles in the box. Once they hit the circle, you circle it and write whatever rule in that place you want. Whenever anyone lands on that spot from then on, they (or the rest of the players depending on the rule) must do whatever the rule says [e.g. girls drink, drink an entire beer, finish your beer, etc] That's it. Enjoy.

| Name | Bozo Buckets |
| Instructions |
This game is fun for 3+ people, usually played with around 10-15.
Everyone has a cup filled 1/4 to 1/2 full with beer, and a quarter. Someone starts the game, usually the last loser, by trying to make their quarter in their cup. Once they take the first shot, everyone can also start to shoot. You continue to shoot quickly since this is speed based.
If you make your quarter, you must drink your beer very quickly, don't swallow the quarter, and put the cup down on the table. The last one to put their cup down must then shoot at a predetermined number, usually about half the number of players, of "buckets", aka random cups, shot glasses, and glasses. The glasses are filled partially with beer, and shot glasses are full.
The loser takes everyone's quarters and shoots once per quarter at the buckets. After shooting all the quarters, the buckets that they made quarters in are given out to whomever they choose. The loser drinks all the buckets they didn't make.
Refill the cups and repeat.
Here is how we usually set up the buckets:

| Name | Chandeliers |
| Instructions |
A large glass is filled with beer and put in the center of the table. The smaller glasses are also filled with beer, arranged around the center glass in a circle, and in front of each player.
The player in possession of the quarter tries to bounce it into one of the glasses. If the quarter lands in one of the small glasses, the player whose glass it lands in has to drink the beer in his/her glass and fill the glass back up with beer. If the quarter lands in the large center glass, every player has to chug the beer in his/her small glass. The player who is last to set his/her glass down has to drink the beer in the large center glass.
The quarter is passed to the next player when the previous player fails to put the quarter in a glass. Warning: If the center glass is not hit much, the beer becomes warm, and this adds to the fun, especially late in the game.

| Name | Guess The Coin |
| Instructions |
Two playes sit opposite to each other. One holds a coin behind his back. Shuffle it around a bit and show both (closed) hands. The other players have to guess which hand the coin is in. If they get the right hand then the person holding the coin has to drink. Otherwise the guesser has to drink. It is allowed to have two coins behind your back. So the other person always has to drink no matter what hand he picks. If you show your closed hands, and the other person points both hands and he's right, YOU have to drink twice. When he's wrong (and you have one coin instead of two ) HE has to drink twice.

| Instructions |
This is another variation of standard Quarters, only you go for height.
Place a shot glass on the table, and try to bounce a quarter once off the table and into the shot glass. If you get it, designate someone at the table to take a drink, and go again.
If you get three in a row, instead of making a rule, you add something under the glass to elevate it. We used VHS tapes, but books and similar items will work as well.
If you miss, you loose your turn and must pass the quarter to the next player.
We were able to get the shot glass to a height of almost 3 feet.

| Name | Landmines |
| Instructions |
Everybody gets a shot glass and fills it up with beer. Take a quarter and spin it, you drink your beer with your right or left hand, when you finish your shot pick up the quarter with whatever hand you used to drink. Then pass the quarter to the next person. If you used the wrong hand (like you drank with your right and picked up the quarter in your left) you go again.
Landmines come into play when you finish a beer DURING the game. While a person is drinking slam your beer can on the coin and make them go again. The landmine stays on the table and when a coin hits the landmine they have to do it all over again. It's a fun and easy way to get majorly screwed up!!

| Name | Moose #2 |
| Instructions |
You start with an empty ice-cube tray and a bowl. Place the ice-cube tray the long way in front of the first player with the bowl at the end of the tray. The left side of the tray is "give" and the right is "take". "Give" means you count how many squares away from you the quarter is and you give out that many drinks. "Take" means you drink that much.
To start, you must bounce the quarter off of the table so that it somehow lands in the tray. It is one's turn until he/she either misses the tray or lands on the "take" side. A player can also "chance" their next bounce. To chance means that the player gets one more chance to play, but if he/she misses the tray, he/she must drink the bowl, filled to the rim with beer. If their quarter lands on the "give" side, then it remains their turn until, well, I just explained that.
The reason this game is called "Moose" is because if the quarter lands in the last square in the tray farthest away from the player (either side), everyone puts their hands up by their heads and yells "Moose". The last person to do this has to drink the bowl.
And lastly, if the player's quarter lands in the bowl, he/she must drink the bowl (and loses their turn, no chances). Enjoy your drinks!

This game is similar to Speed Quarters. Set up is as follows:
- Glass of beer in the middle of the table
- Two shot glasses on either side of it
- Two quarters
Starts with two people across from each other. They try to bounce the quarters into the shot glasses. Once the quarter gets in, pass to your left. If two people get their quarters in the same shot glass before the opposite person gets it it theirs, then that person has to chug the beer.
If someone gets the quarter in the center beer glass, everyone yells "Moosecock" and puts their hands on their head like antlers. The last person to put their hands up is the "Moosecock" and has to chug the beer. You can make it more interesting by requiring the "Moosecock" to do something.

This game is played with team of 2-4 players per team. You can have 2-4 teams as well. Each team gets one quarter. Each team selects a card from the deck. Whoever selects the highest card from the deck goes first and it continues toward the right.
Get a pitcher of beer and arrange the cards in a ring around the pitcher of beer. Bounce the quarter off the table and try to get it into the pitcher of beer. If the quarter goes into the pitcher, choose any team to drink the entire pitcher and your team starts the next game. If you miss the pitcher, you draw a card from the ring around the pitcher. The rules for the cards are as follows:

- Jack "Bathroom Pass": If you draw a Jack, than that person can drop an 0-ring (use the bathroom). The Jack may only be used once by the person.
- Queen "Beer Bitch": If you draw a queen, this signifies that your entire team must do whatever the other teams say until another team draws a queen.
- King Rule: If you draw a King, this allows your team to make a rule, e.g. no touching your face. This rule lasts throughout the whole game. Whomever breaks the rule must drink for ten seconds.

| Instructions |
Each player has three coins in their hands. It doesn't matter what kind they are just as long as they're coins. Everyone sits around a table with both hands under the table with the coins.
Everyone secretly decides how many coins they want in one hand. Then everyone places their hand (only one) on the table. One person is it and they guess how many coins there are TOTAL between everyone who is playing. Then the next person goes and so on.
After everyone is done guessing everyone shows their hands and whoever guesses the right amount is out. Meaning that everyone else has to drink. They have to drink how many coins there were total. The game keeps going until you can't drink anymore.
You can also play it where the person who gets out is out for the rest of the game and you keep playing until only one person is left. That person must finish their drink.

| Name | Quarters |
| Instructions |
Quarters can be played with any number of players. Play is best with 3-6 players. Competitors sit around a table, hard wood works best but you might need to experiment. To decide who will go first, spin the quarter. When it stops, it will be pointing at the person that starts. I use Lincoln's nose or the Eagle's beak. Once established, the game begins.
The shooter tries to bounce a quarter off the table and into a glass. If the quarter goes into the glass, the shooter chooses a person at the table to consume. The amount or size of the drink is debatable. This should be decided before the game starts. The shooter's turn is over when he/she does not make the quarter in the cup. Play then proceeds the next shooter.
To make things more exciting, rules are developed by the shooters only after making three quarters into the glass in a row. If any rules are broken, the guilty party must consume.

A variation of quarters. Two teams with the same number of people line up on opposite sides of a table. Each team member has a cup filled with beer in front of them, plus there is a big pitcher (jug, fishbowl, whatever) in the center filled with beer.
The two teams begin with the first person on each team trying to get their quarter into one of their team's cups. Once they do, they pound the beer and pass the quarter to the next team member.
Play continues until everyone on a side has pounded their beers, then each playwer on the team, in order, attempts to bounce the quarter into the jug in the center. Whichever team gets the quarter into the center jug first, wins and the losers must finish all the beer in their cups as well as the entire pitcher.
Gets you very fucked up, but also gets beer everywhere. Have paper towels on hand to wipe up the splashed and sloshed beer. Very fun and everyone gets loaded.

| Name | Social Quarters |
| Instructions |
This game is to be played at any social event. Once introduced, the game usually never ends. As a participant, simply prevent someone from dropping a quarter in your drink.
If a person succeeds in dropping a quarter in your drink, you must finish it immediately. If, however, you prevent the quarter from landing in your drink, and it falls to the ground, the agressor must finish his drink. If you have been "tagged", once you finish your drink, you now have the quarter, and can choose who you want to "tag".
This game is ideal because it does not require a group's attention, so it can be played at almost any time.

Everyone sits around a table with a large glass of beer in the center and two shot glasses at opposite ends. Try to bounce the qaurter in the shot glass just like the Quarters game. Take as many shots as needed. When made pass the shot glass to the left.
Eventually both shot glasses will come to someone. That person must drink the middle glass and fill for the next game. Easy and adds more tension then quarters. This game gets people who suck at quarters messed up.

| Name | Stacks |
| Instructions |
Here's an original from Hawaii. We made this one up in the late 80s. It's played like standard Quarters, but with no cup and a lot of coins.
You start with a single quarter on the table. Each player attempts to bounce another quarter once off the table so it lands on the first quarter. As long as it is physically touching the first quarter when it stops moving, you may straighten the stack, and designate someone at the table to take a drink. Then take another quarter and try to add it to the stack. Three in a row allows you to make a rule.
If you miss, you loose your turn and must pass the quarter to the next player.
If you knock the stack over, you loose your turn and must drink as many times as quarters are separated from the original one at the bottom. This gets very nasty as the stack gets higher.
In competition, we were able to get the stack to about 3.75 inches high before we ran out of opponents (one mistake and a noob could have to empty the ‘fridge!).

| Instructions |
Get between 3 and 6 people to sit around a table. Have somebody start the game off by spinning the coin, the person to their left or right, it doesn't much matter, has to keep the coin going by flicking it. Then the person beside them just keeps it going and so on.
If the coin is knocked over or stops spinning on someones turn that person has to take a drink. You can also try to stop the coin by placing your finger or thumb, whatever you prefer, on top of the coin. If the coin stops without falling then everybody has to take a drink except the person that stopped it, however if the person attempting to stop the coin knocks it over they drink double.
If the coin is knocked over the person to the left or right, whatever you decide on, starts the game off again.
Also if the coin falls off the table or someone is too drunk and bumps the table knocking the coin off that person has to drink.

| Name | The Web |
| Instructions |
Quite similar to speed quarters. You need at least 4 people to play, preferably more.
Supplies:
You start with two small, empty glasses (shot to whiskey glass size), placed in front of opposite players situated around a table. Then, get a large number, 12-15, of (preferably plastic) cups in the middle of the table. Fill each middle cup with about a shot of beer. Have a bunch of backup beers ready for refilling.
Objective:
Bounce the quarter into the small empty glass when it's your turn, and pass the glass to the next person. VERY IMPORTANT: The way you decide who's next goes like this...if you make your first shot on the empty glass, you can choose left or right, if you miss at all, you must pass right.
Rules:
The glasses chase each other around the table until one catches the other, if you make your shot before your neighbor on the right, you jump his glass, passing to the next person down the line. Your neighbor must pick up one of the middle cups and finish that cup before he shoots again. The killer aspect of this game comes when the person on your neighbor's right skips again by making his first shot, thus giving you another shot and making your neighbor struggle to get shots off. Once skipped, you're "in the web," hence the game's name.
A friend of mine and I once made another guy drink 15 cups in a row...he ended up using the floor as a urinal about 2 hours later unfortunately so WATCH OUT. This game is intense and insane.

Two teams (2 per team works well) stand on opposite sides of a small table with five cups in a row in the middle. The four cups on the sides are the same size and the one in the middle is larger (Solo Cup size is usually about right). Something like this...

A player on a team gets one chance to bounce a quarter into one of the smaller cups to their right of the big cup. As soon as a cup is hit the other team has to chug it. Once both players on a team have tried, it's the other team's turn.
After hitting your two side cups you try for the center. The other team has to drink the big cup as well as whatever they hadn't hit on their side.
Folks can get trashed if they're not good at quarters, or (worse) if you put something other than beer in the side cups. This game gets better as the night wears on. Enjoy.
