  2. Four Shot Glasses: Representing the baseball bases.
  3. Drink of Choice: Typically beer, to fill the shot glasses.

Number of Players

  • 6 or more players: Ideally played with two teams.

Objective

To score “runs” by successfully shooting the quarter into the shot glasses, each representing a different type of hit in baseball.


Game Setup

  • Team Formation: Split the group into two teams.
  • Shot Glass Arrangement: Arrange the shot glasses in a vertical row from where the quarter will be shot. The closest glass is a single, the next a double, then a triple, and the furthest glass represents a home run.
  • Fill Glasses with Beer: Fill each shot glass with beer.

Baseball Coin Drinking Game Rules

  1. Starting the Game:
    • Decide which team bats first.
    • The batting team sends up a player to shoot the quarter at the shot glasses.
  2. Taking Shots:
    • The player shoots the quarter, attempting to land it in one of the shot glasses.
    • The type of hit (single, double, triple, home run) is determined by which glass the quarter lands in.
  3. Drinking for Hits:
    • For each shot made, the player drinks the contents of that shot glass and all glasses behind it. For example, if a single is made, they drink from all four glasses.
    • If the player misses, no drinks are taken.
  4. Three Strikes Rule:
    • The player gets three attempts to make a shot. Three misses mean they are “out.”
    • After three misses, the player must drink all four shot glasses.
  5. Scoring Runs:
    • Each successful hit scores runs for the batting team.
    • The opposing team takes drinks for each run scored.
  6. Switching Teams:
    • After three outs, the teams switch roles, with the other team now batting.
  7. Continuing the Game:
    • Play continues, alternating between teams, for a predetermined number of innings or until one team reaches a certain number of runs.

Safety Considerations

  • Drink Responsibly: It’s important for players to drink within their limits and not feel pressured to consume excessive alcohol.
  • Non-Alcoholic Options: Consider using non-alcoholic beverages for a more inclusive game.
