“Rage Cage,” also known as “Stack Cup,” is a fast-paced and energetic drinking game that combines elements of skill, speed, and teamwork.
It’s especially popular at parties and large gatherings.
Here’s how to play the Rage Cage drinking game.
What You Need To Play Rage Cage
- 2 Ping Pong Balls
- 20+ Solo Cups: For the center setup, plus 2 for shooting.
- Beer: Roughly 1 beer per 4-5 cups is standard.
Rage Cage Game Setup
- Center Cups: Arrange 20-30 solo cups, filled at least 1/3rd with beer, in the center of a round table.
- Center Cup: Select one more cup to be the center cup and fill it completely with a full beer.
- Player Positioning: Players should be evenly dispersed around the table.
- Starting Players: Pick two players to start the game and give them each a pong ball.
Rage Cage Drinking Game Rules
- Starting the Game:
- Begin with a backwards countdown “3, 2, 1.”
- After “1,” the two starting players pick a cup closest to them, chug the beer, and then attempt to bounce their ball into the empty cup.
- Gameplay:
- Once a player successfully bounces their ball into their cup, they pass the cup and ball clockwise to the next player.
- This continues until a player manages to bounce their ball into their cup while the person next to them is still bouncing.
- Stacking Cups:
- When a player bounces their ball into their cup before the next player, they stack their cup onto the next one. The player with the stack must pass it clockwise, pick a new cup, drink the beer, and continue playing.
- Making Your First Try:
- If a player makes the ball into their cup on their first try, they can pass it to any player, except those still trying to bounce their ball.
- Making a Middle Cup:
- If a player accidentally bounces the ball into one of the center cups, they must drink that cup, stack it, and continue playing.
- Ending the Game:
- The game ends when all the cups, including the full beer in the center cup, have been consumed.
Safety and Considerations
- Drink Responsibly: Remember, the goal is to have fun, not to over-consume alcohol. Always play within your limits and include non-alcoholic options.
- Physical Safety: Be aware of your surroundings to avoid spills and accidents, especially with fast-paced bouncing and passing.
Customization
- Adjust the Beer Amount: Depending on the preference and tolerance of the players, adjust the amount of beer in the cups.
- Alternative Rules: Introduce variations, such as specific challenges for players who get stuck with certain cups or additional rules for skilled shots.
