Quarters

Quarters is another fun game to play when you have people over. This is an easy game to play because you don’t need any unique materials to play. Other than people and beer/mixed drinks all you need is a couple quarters and a couple shot glasses. Plastic shot glasses are usually better than glass because this game can get very intense which leads to shattered shot glasses which is no fun for anyone. Its also best played around a table where everyone can stand around. You generally need around five or six people for this game to keep moving and be fun, with this you only need two quarters and two shot glasses. Extra quarters are recommended because they will fall on the floor and other things. More people require more shot glasses and quarters, but for right now well stick to the simple way.
How to shoot: the best way to shoot is to hold a quarter flat with your thumb and pointer finger around 3-4 inches away from the shot glass. You want to gently bounce the quarter off the surface so it bounces once and then into the shot glass. It takes a couple tries to get used to it, you’ll get used to it.
The game starts with the two shot glasses at opposite sides of the table. The two people start shooting at their own glass at the same time. If a person makes it on their first shot, they can send the shot glass to anyone, EXCEPT FOR THE PERSON WITH THE SHOT GLASS. It’s best to send it to a person to the very right or left of the shot glass to try and make people drink. If you make it on the 2nd or 100th shot, you pass the shot glass to the person right to the left of you.
When to drink: There are many variations to this part of the game, but this is the easiest way for learners, also the best way to keep the game moving constantly. When two people have shot glasses right next to each other and person on the RIGHT makes it before the person on the LEFT, and passes them by touching their opponents shot glass and passes the shot glass to the next person without a shot glass. The person who was passed has to stop shooting, take a drink, and start shooting again to try and get the new person to the left. This is a fun, intense game that can last for hours.
