“Corners” offers a dynamic twist on the traditional Beer Pong game, focusing on skill, speed, and agility with an added element of defense through rebounding.
It’s perfect for 2 to 4 players who are looking for a competitive and engaging drinking game.
Here’s how to play the Corners drinking game.
Equipment Needed
- 4 Plastic Cups: One for each corner of the table.
- 2 Ping Pong Balls: For shooting and rebounding.
- Beer: One beer per person per game.
Number of Players
- 2 to 4 players: Played in teams of two, with each player stationed at a corner of the table.
Objective
To be the last team standing by successfully hitting your opponents’ cups while defending your own from incoming shots.
Game Setup
- Positioning: Each player places a cup filled with water (for the game) in front of them on each corner of the table and keeps a full beer to the side (for drinking).
- Starting the Game: The team that won the previous game starts with both ping pong balls. If it’s the first game, distribute the balls evenly, one to each team.
The Corners Drinking Game Rules
- Shooting and Rebounding:
- Teams take turns shooting the ping pong balls at their opponents’ cups.
- Players must also be ready to rebound shots that hit the lip of their cup before the balls hit the ground.
- Lifelines:
- Unlike Beer Pong, there are no racks of cups. Instead, each player has a “lifeline” divided into quarters (4/4).
- A successful shot into a cup costs the opponent 2/4 of their life, while a ball hitting the lip and then the ground costs 1/4 of their life.
- Drinking Rules:
- Upon losing a quarter of their life (1/4), a player must drink a quarter of their beer.
- Losing half their life (2/4) means drinking half their beer.
- Players must complete their drink before attempting their next shot.
- End of the Game:
- The game continues until one team loses all their lifelines.
- The last team with any life remaining wins the game.
- Bounce Backs:
- Rebounding is a key skill in Corners. Successful rebounds can prevent life loss and keep the game in play.
Safety
- Drink Responsibly: Monitor alcohol intake and ensure all players are comfortable with the pace of drinking.
- Stay Hydrated: Encourage players to have water between games to stay hydrated.
- Respect Boundaries: Make sure all players are aware of the rules and are comfortable with them. Consent is key in any drinking game.
