Coinstar is a popular drinking game among American college and university students. It was invented and popularized at St. Lawrence University in Canton, New York. It involves bouncing a golf ball around a circle of chairs with coins at the floor.

Origin

Late on a Thursday night in the Fall of 2011, five St. Lawrence University freshman were at Sergi's Italian Pizzeria in Canton, New York. When they finished their pizza, one of the boys found a golf ball in his pocket. They spread the change from their pizza order on the floor and coinstar was first played.

Setup

1. Arrange chairs in a circle with open space and hard floor in the middle.

2. Spread Quarters, Pennies, Nickels, and one Dime on the floor in the middle of the circle.

Game play

Players bounce the golf ball among the members of the circle one touch at a time. If the golf ball lands on a quarter, the player who last touched the ball must sip his/her drink. If the golf ball lands on a penny, the player who last touched the ball can choose another player to sip his/her drink. If the golf ball lands on a nickel, the player who last touched the ball can invent a rule similar to in the popular drinking game Kings (drinking game). If the golf ball, lands on the lone dime, all players must finish the drink they are holding.

Rules

Quarter: You drink

Penny: Choose someone to drink

Nickel: Rule

Dime: Everyone chugs
