9 Best Drinking Games and Rules (2021)
After last year, we could use a drink…
Which is why we spent months rigorously play-testing all the best drinking games so you don’t have to.
We present the 9 best drinking games, in no particular order.
Thank us later.
Blind Mario Kart
Let’s start this list with the best drinking game you’ve never heard of, Blind Mario Kart.
In fact, this one’s so fun you can play it without drinking, but why would you want to?
King’s Cup
The first classic of the list, and what a classic it is.
King’s Cup (aka Kings Cup, Kings, or Ring of Fire) is by far one of the most popular drinking games, but with so many variations, it can be hard to know which rules are the best to play with.
Until now.
Chickenshit
If you just want to buy a game with all the fun built in, look no further.
Chickenshit is the drinking card game designed to be played in public.
In short, you do challenges for points with complete strangers.
You can get Chickenshit here if you don’t already have it.
The full game is now available on Amazon!
Flip Cup
Flip Cup is a classic drinking game that’s perfect for pre-gaming or playing with big groups of people at your next party.
You may also know this game as “Taps”, “Flippy Cup”, “Canoe”, “Tappy Cup”, “Flippy Tap” “Cuppity Flippity Tuppity”… we’re just gonna stop.
It’s in the vein of games like Rage Cage or Chandeliers, where you can get a lot of people all in on the action at the same time, and the rules for Flip Cup are pretty simple so you can get an entire group playing quickly.
Pocky Game
The Pocky Game is a popular Japanese drinking game that’s perfect for when you want to spice things up at a party.
Our updated version is sort of a mix between spin the bottle, and that scene from Lady and the Tramp where they’re eating the spaghetti.
Don’t worry, everything will become clear to you soon.
Rage Cage
Rage Cage is a popular drinking game that’s perfect for pre-gaming or adding some excitement to any party.
It’s in the vein of games like Flip Cup or Chandeliers, where you can get a lot of people all in on the action at the same time, and the rules for Rage Cage are pretty simple so you can get an entire group playing quickly.
Drunk Uno
Most Drunk Uno rules are terrible, and unlike beer pong, will have you taking a ridiculous amount of shots regardless of your skill at the game.
That’s why we created the ultimate Drunk Uno rules that actually make sense for the game. Once you play this way, you’ll never play it any other way.
Beer Pong
Perhaps the king of all drinking games.
This iconic classic never goes out of style, even if you switch from Bud Light and Solo cups to champagne and martini glasses.
Flip, Sip or Strip
Flip, Sip or Strip is a clever drinking game perfect for small groups, or the end of the night when the vibe of the party is dying down, but not out.
This version by The Best Drinking Games is really the only one worth playing, and we’ll give you a full breakdown of the rules below.
