 * 2 Short Glasses
 * A coffee table
 * A deck of cards

Set up
To start the game each player should have (in front of them on the coffee table/e door)a solo cup filled about 1/3 of the way with beer. In the middle of the table should be 5 full shots of different kinds of liquor. The liquor should be arranged in a "plus" shape with the hardest drink in the middle. Go through the deck of cards and take out the four aces and place one ace under each of the four outside shot glasses. Also on the table should be two short glasses(i.e juice glass or tumbler) in witch players will shoot the quarters. When playing the tumbler should be placed directly in front of a players solo cup (backboard) and also inline with the shot glasses. There should be plenty of back up alcohol because a refill will need to occur after every round.

Rules
Determining who shoots first: With the remaining 48 cards of the deck deal one card to each person face up. The two people with the highest cards will be the first to shoot.

How to shoot: A valid shot is one in witch a player takes a quarter and bounces in off the table and hopefully into the cup of their choice. Most of the time when you are shooting you will shoot for the tumbler in your possession although occasionally it may be strategically favorable to shoot for other cups.

Missed shot: A missed shot as any quarter witch bounces but does land in a glass/cup

Shot into a drinking glass/cup: A shot in witch the quarter bounces into a cup with alcohol in it, the shooter must drink and finish whatever alcohol is in it before he/she can resume shooting. If the cup is empty then the shooter must drink the next non empty cup before resuming shooting.

Successful shot into own tumbler: When a player successfully bounces a quarter into the tumbler in front of them they must pass the possession of the tumbler as well as shooting onto a player to their right (we will look at who to pass it to shortly).

Successful shot into other tumbler: When player A successfully bounces a quarter into the other shooter's tumbler (player B), player B has lost the round and must drink.

How to pass the shot: Once a player makes a shot into their own tumbler they must pass the cup to their right;  Who they pass it to is dependent on what hand they shot it with as when the shot was taken. First shot of the round/turn; shot with dominate hand = 2 players to right First shot of the round/turn; shot with weaker hand = 3 players to right Any subsequent shot with either hand = 1 player to right If on your first shot you choose to shoot with both hands and make both then the round is over and everyone must drink their backboard.
