Anchorman, Drinking Game Rules

Category: Pong & Cup Games · Players: Two teams · You’ll need: Pitcher of beer; a quarter

A quarters battle where the losing team drinks a pitcher, and their anchorman drinks the dregs.

Setup: Fill a pitcher with beer and put it mid-table. Two teams line up on opposite sides. Before starting, each team names its anchorman, the strong closer who will drink last. One quarter per team (or share one).

How to play:

1. Players take turns bouncing quarters at the pitcher (alternate team by team, going down each line).
2. Each made shot counts one point for your team. First team to a target, say every player sinking one, or first to 5, wins.
3. The losing team drinks the entire pitcher, passed player to player down the line. Each player drinks what they choose, but the pitcher may never stop moving or touch the table.
4. The anchorman goes last and must finish everything that's left, in one go.

Choose your anchorman wisely, stingy teammates upstream mean a heavy anchor.

Anchorman, Variations

• Best-of series: Play best-of-three pitchers with teams re-picking anchormen each round.
• Cruel draft: The winning team chooses the losing team's anchorman after the game ends.
• Rotation rule: The pitcher must pass after every gulp, no player may take two consecutive turns holding it.
