Quarters

One of the oldest drinking game classics: bounce a coin off the table into a glass.

How to play

Put a shot glass in the middle of the table. Take turns bouncing a coin off the table so it lands in the glass.

Whoever scores decides who drinks.

Variations

  • Speed round: two players bounce at two glasses at once; whoever scores first passes their glass on.
  • Three in a row: hit three times in a row and you may invent a rule.
  • With cups: beginners use a wider cup instead of a shot glass.

Tips

A hard, smooth table is a must – coins don’t bounce on tablecloths. A larger coin works best, such as a quarter or 2-euro coin.

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