What kinds of rules should I write on the blocks?

Popular rules include 'Take 3 sips', 'Everyone drinks', 'Last person to raise their hand drinks', and 'Trade drinks with someone'. Be creative and tailor them to your group!

What happens if someone topples the tower?

In the standard game, the person who topples the tower faces a 'final penalty', often finishing their drink or taking a set number of sips.

Can we reuse the blocks for another round?

Yes, just re-stack the tower and keep playing, but consider rewriting some rules to keep things fresh or make it more challenging for the next round.

What if someone refuses to follow a block’s rule?

This depends on your group, but a common punishment is for the player to drink double the penalty on the block or take an extra sip as a forfeit.

Tips & Strategies

Write a mix of mild and more challenging drinking rules on the blocks to keep the game interesting without overwhelming everyone early. Watch your grip,pulling a block too fast can spill drinks if the tower topples, so steady hands are key. If you're the one who writes the rules, don't forget to write at least a few 'Assign drinks' blocks to add some strategy. Finally, keep an eye on how many players are left without a turn as the tower gets shakier; the pressure can lead to hilarious mistakes.
