How to play shoulders drinking game

Alright, so the first thing you need to do is get your friends and sit in a circle. Before playing the game, you guys can hold hands, chant some positive affirmations and declare what you love and appreciate about one another.

Anyway, going around the circle, everyone says a consecutive number starting from 1 so like 1,2,3… until someone reaches Once someone gets to 21, everyone can have a drink. The person who got to 21 must make a rule about one of the numbers in rotation besides So the person next to them has to start from 1 rather than 5. As the game goes on and more rules are established, you guys are probably gonna be going back to 1 pretty often.

After 21, the circle starts from 1 again. And whenever someone gets to 21, they have to make a rule about one of the other numbers the rule for 21 is saved for last. You could also count up to 15 if you have a particularly small group.

Coming up with rules for each number can be pretty fun. The beauty of the Thumper Drinking Game is that the rules are so simple yet the game is a whole new level of fun! For a game to begin, you need at least four players. You can follow these easy steps in order to familiarize how to play the game:. One hand gesture: Each player must decide on a hand gesture to represent them during the game. He or she does this while the drumming continues. The leader should then continue drumming after his turn.

Keep going: Continue playing until a player messes up, miscues, or takes too long to respond. The drunker you get the harder it will be to concentrate and remember the rules so have fun with it! All the players need to sit in a circle preferable around a table or coffee table. In this game all the players will be counting from "1" to "21" in a sequence going around in a circle. The game starts with one person who is elected to start with the number "1". Then it goes to the right to the next person in the circle who then say "2".

This continues with the following person saying "3" until you reach "21". This might sound way too simple so far but those are just the basic. What makes this tricky is that each player has the option of saying more than one number is the sequence and depending how many numbers they decide to say it changes the pace of the game. If the player just says one number the game keeps going as normal but if the player says two numbers in a row then the sequence reverses back to the person that just went before the current player.

Also, if the player says three numbers in a row then it stays in the same direction but the person after the current player is skipped. For Example: It is currently your turn and the person before you said one number the number "5". If you decided to say just one number the number "6" the game goes on as normal to the person after you but if you decided to say "6", "7" then it goes to the person who was just before you and they are now on the number "8".

If instead of those two options you decided to say three numbers in a row "6", "7", "8" then it skips the person who was after you, goes to the next person after them and they would be on the number "9". Got it? Now you are probably wondering, when do I get to drink? Well in "21" there a number of ways you will have to drink as punishment. The first way is the individual who's forced to say "21" at the end of each round has to finish their drink.

The second way you have to drink is if you say a number out of turn or out of sequence. The game restarts when someone messes up and the person on the right of the person who messed up will start with the number "1". The third way you will have to drink is if you too long to respond typically that is determined as more then 3 seconds.
