Rage Cage Rules

What do you need to play?

Two ping pong balls.

Ten or more plastic ‘Solo’ cups.

One table.

Players

3 or more players.

SETUP

Place all the cups together in the center of the table.

Fill the cups a third of the way up, but fill the cup in the center up all the way.

All players stand around the table.

Pick two players standing across from each other to start, and give each of them a ping pong ball.

GAMEPLAY

The entire group counts down from ‘3’ to start the game.

The two starting players each take a cup closest to them and drink its contents. They then try to quickly bounce their ping pong ball into their empty cup.

Once a player bounces a ball into their empty cup, they pass the cup and the ball clockwise to the next player to do the same.

If a player happens to make it on their first try, they can pass the cup to any player on the table who is not still bouncing.

This continues until a player makes a ball into their cup, while the next person is still bouncing.

Once this happens, the player who made it will stack their cup on to the cup of the person ahead of them who’s still bouncing. The losing player will then pass their stack clockwise, pick a new cup, drink the contents, and continue playing.

If a player accidentally bounces their ball into one of the center cups, they must take that cup, drink its contents, stack it on top of their previous cup, and continue trying to make their ball into the stack.
