Baseball Quarters, Drinking Game Rules

Category: Skill & Coordination Games · Players: 2+ (or two teams) · You’ll need: 1 quarter; 4 cups; table; drinks

Quarters scored like baseball, four cups at increasing distances are your bases.

Setup: Two teams. Place 4 cups in a straight line away from the shooter: the closest is a single, then double, triple, and the farthest is a home run. Put a splash of beer in each. Track runners on paper or with coins. Decide innings, 3 works well.

How to play:

1. Each batter gets one bounce shot per at-bat.
2. Sink a cup: that's your hit, runners advance that many bases, and a fielder drinks the cup and refills it.
3. Miss all cups: that's an out. Three outs end the half-inning; teams switch.

Drinking: The fielding team drinks 1 sip per run scored on them; the losing team drinks the final run difference.

Baseball Quarters, Variations

• Full nine: Play nine innings with running score, an evening-length commitment.
• Stealing: Between shots, a runner may attempt a steal: the fielding team flips a coin; heads the runner advances, tails they're out.
• Ghost runners: With 2 players, use ghost runners that advance station-to-station.
