Coin Flip, Drinking Game Rules

Category: Skill & Coordination Games · Players: 2+ · You’ll need: 1 coin; drinks

The simplest possible drinking game, one coin, one call.

Setup: A coin and drinks. That's all.

How to play:

1. On your turn, call "heads" or "tails" while another player flips the coin.
2. Wrong: take a sip. Right: give a sip to anyone.
3. Pass the coin left.

Streak variation: keep calling while you're right, each correct call is one more sip banked to give away. Your first miss makes you drink the whole banked streak.

Coin Flip, Variations

• Call it in the air: The flipper tosses first; the caller must call before it lands, hesitation counts as wrong.
• Best-of-three duel: Challenge anyone; loser of the set drinks 3.
• Edge legend: If the coin ever genuinely lands on its edge, everyone else finishes their drinks, a rule that costs nothing and makes the night mythical if it happens.
