Rhyme Time, Drinking Game Rules

Category: Party & Verbal Games · Players: 3+ · You’ll need: Drinks only

Keep the rhyme chain alive or drink.

Setup: Circle, drinks.

How to play:

1. The starting player says any word, say, "door."
2. Going left, each player says a new word that rhymes with it: "floor," "score," "ignore"…
3. Freeze, repeat a word, or fail to rhyme, drink, and the round ends. Near-rhymes are judged by the table, loudly.
4. Whoever drank starts the next word.

(Also the 9-card action in King's Cup.)

Rhyme Time, Variations

• Beat mode: Keep a clap rhythm, rhymes must land on the beat.
• Two-word rhyme: Rhyme full phrases (“big dog” → “pig log”), harder and much funnier.
• Freestyle round: Rhymes must come inside a sung or rapped line, commitment is mandatory, quality is not.
