Preparations:

​

1. Place cups in the middle of the table and fill them with drinks (about 1/5 of the cup).

2. The number of cups is determined by the group; 2-4 cups per player are recommended. For example, 5 players will need 10-20 cups.

3. Place two empty cups on each side of the table, with a ping pong ball for each cup.

​

Gameplay:

​

1. Players on each side of the table try to bounce the ball into the plastic cup by making it bounce on the table first.

2. If a player succeeds on the first try, they can pass the cup to anyone except the person who already has a cup (unless that person is standing to your left).

3. If the player succeeds on a later attempt, the cup is passed to the left.

4. The goal is to catch up to the other cup, which results in a "cage."

5. If a player is caught, the cup that was caught is placed inside the player's cup. The player must then take one of the cups from the circle, drink its contents, and try to bounce the ball into the cup again.

6. The cup tower, now with two cups, is passed to the left.
