The “Land Mines” drinking coin game is a competitive and strategic game that combines speed, dexterity, and the tactical use of empty beer cans to disrupt opponents.
Here’s a guide on how to play the Land Mines drinking game.
Equipment Needed
- 30 Pack of Beer: To ensure ample supply for drinking and creating “land mines.”
- Solo Cups: For players to pour and drink their wagered beer.
- 1 Quarter: Used for spinning on the table.
Number of Players
- 2 or more players: Suitable for small to large groups.
Objective
To successfully drink your wagered beer before the spinning quarter falls, while navigating and creating “land mines” with empty beer cans to challenge opponents.
Game Setup
- Playing Surface: Choose a flat surface, such as a large table, that allows for the quarter to spin freely.
- First Player: Decide who will start the game. This can be done randomly or by choice.
- Beer Wager: The starting player pours their wagered amount of beer into their solo cup.
Land Mines Drinking Game Rules
- Starting a Turn:
- At the beginning of each turn, a player pours their chosen amount of beer into their cup as their wager.
- The player then spins the quarter and begins to drink their wagered beer.
- Drinking and Quarter Mechanics:
- Players must finish their beer before the quarter stops spinning.
- If you drink with your left hand, you must also pick up the quarter with that same hand after finishing your drink, and vice versa for the right hand.
- Using Land Mines:
- Once a player finishes a can of beer, it becomes a “land mine.”
- During another player’s turn, you can slam your empty beer can down on the spinning quarter to stop it, forcing them to finish their drink and re-spin.
- The empty can (“land mine”) stays where it was slammed, creating an obstacle for future spins.
- Navigating Land Mines:
- As the game progresses, the table becomes increasingly filled with “land mines,” making it more challenging to spin the quarter without interference.
- Players must strategize when and where to place their “land mines” for maximum effect.
- Continuing Play:
- Play continues around the table, with each player taking turns spinning the quarter and navigating the increasingly cluttered table.
Safety For Players
- Drink Responsibly: This game involves significant alcohol consumption. Players should be mindful of their limits and drink responsibly.
- Non-Alcoholic Options: Consider using non-alcoholic beverages for those who prefer not to consume alcohol.
