Cap Knock

Bottle cap on the bottle, ping pong ball in hand: knock off the others’ caps and they drink.

How to play

Everyone puts their bottle in front of them and rests a bottle cap loosely on top.

The first player throws a ping pong ball to knock off the cap of anyone they choose.

  • Hit: the target drinks and the thrower goes again. A second hit in a row means two sips, a third means three.
  • Miss: the thrower drinks and the next player goes.

Variation: glasses and beer mats instead of bottles and caps.

Agree on drinks and amounts before you start. The game works just as well without alcohol.
