Preparations:

​

1. Give each player a plastic cup and a ping pong ball. In a large group, players can share balls.
2. Place a "death cup" (a plastic cup filled to the top with beer) in the center of the table, on top of an upside-down plastic cup so it stands higher than the other cups.
3. Fill each player's cup halfway with beer and place them around the death cup. Label the cups with the players' names.

Gameplay:

​

1. Shooting the ping pong ball: Try to bounce the ball off the table and into an opponent’s cup.
2. Hit a cup: The owner of the cup must drink its contents and remove the cup from the table. Afterward, they have three attempts to flip the cup upside down on the table. If they fail, they must drink the death cup.
3. Miss: If you don’t hit a cup, the turn passes to the next player.
4. Hit the death cup: If the ball lands in the death cup, everyone except you must finish their drinks and flip their cups. The last person to flip their cup is out of the game.
5. Game over: When only one player is left with a cup, that person is the winner.
