Casino

So today I was thinking about different themes to have for a party and then I thought about having a casino themed party. However instead of playing regular casino games you could pick a bunch of different drinking games. You can set up one table and have flippy cup going. Then the next table you can have people playing beer pong. One table can have people playing circle of death then another can have quarters or Irish poker set up on them and then everyone can go to different tables and play different games. Also with a set up like this everyone is sure to find a game that they like and would like to play and if they cannot find one then they can start another game of their choice somewhere else. I have not yet tried this since I just thought of the idea today as I was working on my website where I have a list of different themes that you can take a look at http://members.webs.com/MembersB/EditPage/index.jsp?pageID=183200991

I do believe that it would work out really well though just because there are so many different things that people can do and that no one will get board at your party. I cannot wait to be able to try this idea out to see if it works out as well as I believe it will. The only thing I worry about is not being able to have a person at each table to run the different games and if I leave it just for people to play if everyone will play what they want to play.

Beer Pong

This is one of my favorite games it might just be because I am good at it and because everywhere you go in a college town you can find people that are playing it. It is a game that can be very entertaining also. It is good because you can make it into a tournament type of game and have a lot of people involved. Some people have parties strictly off of a theme of a Beer Pong Tournament. This is a fun idea just have people bring a partner and get some huge posters and as people arrive add them to the brackets that you have created. I have seen people make trophies for the winner of the tournament and the trophies are a lot of fun since they are made out of beer cans many times.

Most people are familiar with the game beer pong but in case you are unaware I will explain it as simply as possible.

Need:

Table

20 cups (such as red solo cups)

2 other cups for water

2 ping pong balls

You will have 2 teams playing at a time each team has 2 players and is as opposite ends of the table. Each team gets 11 cups one for water to dip the ball in the other 10 is to make a triangle with just like bowling pins are lined up like on your end of the table. Then fill the cups to the desired about with Beer.

If you are playing at someone else’s house ask them what their house rules are since there are a lot of rules that some people follow others do not so I am just going to go over the basics that almost every place will have. If you are the host make sure you know what rules you want to play with. To decide who goes first a player from each team has a ping pong ball and looks the other straight in the eye and shoots without looking at the cups only at the opponent and whoever makes it in first gets to go first. From there both players on a team shoot one ball each at the opponents’ cups trying to make it in kind of like bozo buckets. If you make a ball in a cup the other team has to drink that cup, if you bounce the ball in the other team has to drink two cups. You want to be the one with cups left in the end, the loser is whoever loses there cups first. Also if both team mates make their ball into the cup they get them back and get to shoot again. Also for the last cup both balls have to be made in otherwise the other team gets a redemption type of chance where they get to shoot till they miss. If they miss then the other team wins. Also if a ball is bounced you can block it but if it is just shot you may not block the ball. Good luck playing!

Civil

This game is meant for 6 people. It is played similar to beer pong however there are two teams of three players each. You will need the following things to play this game….

· 3 Ping Pong Balls

· A table

· 18cups

· Beer to fill the cups with

· A minimum of 6 people

Set up: on opposite ends of the table set up 3 separate triangles (3 cups in a 2-1 pattern) one in the middle and one on each corner. There should be a total of 6 triangles now on the table. Now fill cups to desired amount…. Usually less than half a cup

To play: Each person has a triangle made of three cups they are to start standing behind there cups. Paper, scissors, rock for which side gets 2 ping pong balls the losing side gets only 1 to start. At the start anyone can aim for any cup they would like on opposite side of table if they make it in that person has to drink there cup the person who is drinking has to finish their drink before they can continue playing once all three of an individual’s cups has been shot in they are out of the game. This continues the whole game you can take anyone out that you want by making it into their cups before you get knocked out yourself. Unlike in beer pong it is a constant moving game in civil there is no stopping until there are no cups left on one side of the table this is when the team that still has cups left wins. Balls are all fair game if they bounce back grab them and throw them again it is to your advantage to never stop throwing since the faster you go the more chances you have at making it. So one a ball is thrown you should get it as fast as possible and shoot at your opponents cups.

This is a fast paced game that gets everyone moving and is good for a larger group of people. I really enjoy this game and every first time player I have seen enjoys it also and usually doesn’t want to stop playing. This game is better to have a lot of room since there is constant running around. I like it more than beer pong because it is constant movement and more people get to play at once. Also people can come back a lot quicker in Civil which makes it more fare even with teams that are matched unevenly talent wise.

I would rate this game an 8 out of 10 only downfall is if you do not have enough people or the space to play.

Hope that you enjoy this one and it is something new for you
