Alternatives to Star Wars Drinking Game
Following are 5 top alternatives to the star wars drinking game along with how to play each one of them:
- Power Hour
- Buffalo
- Beer Pong
- Drunk Jenga
- Never Have I Ever
Power Hour
Players take a pre decided number of shots, in an hour. For instance, you can take a shot every 60 seconds i.e. every minute of the hour. It will be easy at first but as you go further everyone starts feeling dizzy and drunk. Whoever takes most shots wins the game. It is usually fun to play with a large group of friends as more people means more laughter.
Buffalo
Buffalo or Buffalo Club has a rule that you can only use your non-dominant hand in order to hold your drink. So, if you are right handed, you can not use your right hand to hold the drink and if you are left handed you can not use your left hand to do so. If any other player sees you holding a drink in your dominant hand, they can yell “Buffalo” and you have to chug i.e. rapidly drink everything from your glass.
Beer Pong
In order to play Beer Pong you will need a mid size to long size table and a small ball that can bounce on the table. Arrange 6 to 10 cups on both sides of the table and fill all those cups with the drink of your choice. The game has two teams and the opponents stand on opposite sides of the table. The aim is to throw the ping pong ball in the cups of the opponent’s team’s cups. Whenever your ball lands in one of the cups of the opponent team, they have to drink beer from that cup. Whoever gets rid of all the cups of the other team first, wins the game.
Drunk Jenga
You can play normal jenga with a group of friends by each removing a block from the wooden tower and placing the same wooden block at the top of the tower without letting it fall. Now, in Drunk Jenga, each wooden block has a rule written on it. You have to play out that dare before moving on with the game. Things like “take a shot”, or read the “last text you got on your phone”, or “do a headstand” can be written on the blocks. Whenever someone takes out a wooden block and the tower falls, the game ends. That person is usually given a punishment decided by the group. The punishment is customizable so it can be light or intense.
Never Have I Ever
You can gather a group of friends, and hand each of them a drink in their hand. Everyone takes turns saying “Never have I ever …”, and players who have done that will take a sip from their drink. For example, someone can say “Never have I ever learned how to swim” and people who have learned how to swim will all take a sip from their drinks. It is a fun way to get drunk and get everyone to share stories and bond, regardless of whether it is an old or a new circle.
