Landmines, Drinking Game Rules

Category: Skill & Coordination Games · Players: 2+ · You’ll need: Coin or ball; target cup; shot glasses; drinks

Quarters with hazards, sink the target, avoid the mines.

Setup: Put one empty target cup in the middle of the table. Surround it with 4–6 shot glasses or small cups filled with beer, the landmines. One quarter (a ping pong ball also works).

How to play:

1. On your turn, bounce the quarter toward the center cup.
2. Sink the target cup: hand out 3 sips, split however you like, and shoot again.
3. Hit a landmine (coin lands in it or knocks it over): it "explodes", you drink that mine, refill it, and your turn ends.
4. Clean miss: turn passes left.

Add more mines as the game goes to raise the danger.

Landmines, Variations

• Growing minefield: Every emptied mine is replaced by two new ones, the board gets deadlier all game.
• Sweeper shot: Sinking the center cup three times in a row clears one mine of your choice permanently.
• Hidden mine: One mine is secretly designated the “big one” before the game, hitting it means finishing your whole drink.
