It’s a straightforward yet challenging game that involves taking a shot of beer every minute for 100 minutes.

What You Need To Play Centurian

1. Timer or Stopwatch: To keep track of the minute intervals.

Number of Players

Objective

The aim is to drink one shot of beer every minute for 100 minutes without quitting or becoming too intoxicated to continue.

• Arrange Seating: Players should be comfortably seated around a table with their shot glass and beer in front of them.

Centurian Drinking Game Rules

1. Starting the Game:
   • Set up a timer or stopwatch to keep track of the minutes. An audible signal every minute helps.
   • All players start with a filled shot glass.
2. Taking Shots:
   • At the start of every minute, each player takes a shot of beer.
   • This continues every minute on the minute.
3. Counting the Shots:
   • Keep track of the number of shots. This can be done by the timer calling out the number or by players keeping a personal count.
4. Continuing the Challenge:
   • Players continue to take a shot of beer every minute until they reach 100 shots.
   • The challenge lasts for 1 hour and 40 minutes.
5. Completing the Game:
   • The game ends when a player has successfully consumed 100 shots of beer in 100 minutes or when they choose to stop.

Strategy Tips

1. Pace Yourself: It’s a marathon, not a sprint. Be mindful of how the alcohol is affecting you as the game progresses.
2. Stay Hydrated: Drinking water in between shots can help manage the effects of the alcohol.

Safety and Considerations

• Drink Responsibly: This game involves consuming a significant amount of alcohol. Know your limits and don’t feel pressured to complete the challenge if it’s too much.
• Safety First: Have a plan for how everyone will get home safely after the game, such as designated drivers or rideshares.

Customization

• Adjust the Challenge: If 100 shots seem too much, consider doing a “Half Centurion” (50 shots in 50 minutes) or a similar variation.
