It’s perfect for groups looking for a competitive and fast-paced drinking game.
Here’s how to set it up and play the Civil War pong drinking game.
Equipment Needed
- 40 Plastic Cups: For the beer cups and water cups.
- 4 Ping Pong Balls: For shooting into the cups.
- ~12 Beers: To fill the cups (2 beers per 6-cup rack per team).
Number of Players
- 6 players: Split into two teams of 3.
Objective
To eliminate all cups in the opposing team’s lifelines by shooting ping pong balls into their cups.
Game Setup
- Team Formation: Two teams of 3 face off across a table.

Civil War Pong Drinking Game Rules
- Rapid Fire: Unlike traditional Beer Pong, there are no turns. Any player can shoot at any time, targeting any of the opposing team’s cups.
- Drinking Rules: Players must drink the contents of a cup immediately after a ball lands in it. The game continues while players are drinking.
- Rebounds and Rollbacks: Balls that bounce off the table or cups can be grabbed and shot again. There are no restrictions on rollbacks, and players can pass balls to teammates.
- Same Cup Rule: If two balls land in the same cup simultaneously, the player whose cup it was is eliminated from the game. Players can attempt to block these shots without penalty.
- Player Elimination: Once all of a player’s cups are hit, they are out but can assist their team by rebounding balls. It may be strategic to leave an opponent with one cup so they cannot fully dedicate to rebounding.
- Winning: The first team to eliminate all cups of the opposing team wins.
Safety
- Drink Responsibly: Ensure that all players are comfortable with the pace of drinking and know their limits.
- Hydration: Encourage drinking water throughout the game to stay hydrated.
- Non-Alcoholic Options: Use non-alcoholic beverages for those who prefer not to drink alcohol.
