Classic drinking games

Drinking games are a popular element of garden parties to increase fun and socializing. Here are two classic drinking games that should not be missing from any outdoor party.

beer pong

Beer pong is a well-known and fun drinking game often played at outdoor parties. The game requires a table, cups and ping pong balls. Participants split into two teams and place their cups in the shape of a triangle on either side of the table. The object of the game is to throw the ping pong ball into one of the opposing team's cups. If a ball lands successfully, the opposing team must drink the corresponding cup. The winning team is the one that hits all of the opponent's cups first.

spin the bottle

Spin the bottle is a classic drinking game that can be played both indoors and outdoors. An empty bottle is placed in the center of the play area and participants sit or stand in a circle around the bottle. A player spins the bottle and whoever the bottle points to must complete a task or take a shot. Tasks can be predetermined by the players and range from fun actions to personal questions. The game continues with each player taking turns to spin the bottle.

These classic drinking games will add excitement and fun to any garden party. They encourage interaction between participants and create unforgettable moments. But always remember to drink responsibly and respect participants' boundaries to ensure everyone has a good time. Cheers!

Active drinking games

When it comes to active drinking games for garden parties, there are several options that offer fun and exercise outdoors. Here are two popular examples:

Beer Pong Frisbee

Beer Pong Frisbee combines the fun of classic beer pong with the activity of Frisbee throwing. This game requires a certain level of accuracy and skill. It is commonly played with a special Frisbee that has cup holders to place the beer cups.

The aim of the game is to throw the Frisbee so that it lands in the opposing team's cup. If successful, the opposing team must drink the cup. The game continues until one team has hit all of the other team's cups.

can throwing

Can toss is another active drinking game that is popular at many garden parties. It only requires a few empty cans and balls or throwing bags. The cans are arranged in a pyramid shape and the goal is to use the balls or throwing bags to knock the cans over.

Each player has a certain number of throws to knock over as many cans as possible. For each can knocked over, the opposing team has to take a drink. The game can be played either as an individual competition or in teams.

Here is a table showing the number of cans needed for can throwing:

number of players number of doses
2 6
4 10
6 15
8 21

Active drinking games like Beer Pong Frisbee and Can Toss bring movement and fun to any garden party. They provide entertainment and encourage interaction between guests. Remember to always use alcohol responsibly and ensure that all participants can enjoy the game in a safe environment.

card games

When it comes to drinking games for garden parties, card games are a popular choice. Not only do they provide fun and entertainment, but they can also lead to unforgettable moments. Here are two classic card games that are perfect for a garden party: Kings Cup and Ring of Fire.

Kings Cup

Kings Cup is a drinking game played with a deck of cards and a cup. Each card has a specific meaning and rules that must be followed by the players. The game can be played in both small and large groups and ensures lots of laughter and good humor.

The rules of Kings Cup can vary depending on players' preferences, but here is a general overview of the meaning of each card category:

The exact rules may vary depending on the group and the preferences of the players. It is always advisable to agree on the rules together before the game to avoid misunderstandings.

Ring of Fire

Ring of Fire, also known as King's Round, is another popular card game for garden parties. It is played with a deck of cards and a cup. Each card has a specific rule that must be followed by the players. Players take turns drawing a card and performing the corresponding action.

Card games like Kings Cup and Ring of Fire are fun ways to liven up a garden party and create a cheerful atmosphere. Whatever game you choose, remember to use alcohol responsibly and respect your guests' boundaries.

dice games

Dice games are a fun way to add fun and excitement to garden parties. Here are two popular dice games that are perfect for a fun outdoor gathering.

Mexico

Mexico is an exciting dice game that requires both luck and strategy. To play the game you need two dice and a dice cup. Each player has three lives and the goal is to get the highest score.

Here is an overview of the possible combinations and their point values:

combination point value
Mexico (double six) 200
street (e.g. 1, 2) 100
double (e.g. two fours) value of the eyes
Single Six 60
Single One 40

Players take turns rolling the dice and decide after each roll whether to keep their score or roll again to get a higher score. The trick is that with each roll, the lower number is added to the score. For example, if a player rolls a five and a two, his score is not seven, but 52.

The player loses a life if he rolls a six and a one (Mexico) or if he has no lives left and his score is lower than that of his predecessor. The game ends when only one player has lives left.

Meiern

Meiern, also known as Mäxchen, is a quick and easy dice game that is a lot of fun. It only requires two dice and a dice cup. The aim of the game is to get the highest score.

The rules are simple: Each player rolls the dice one after the other and can look at their roll face down. The highest value a player can achieve is the "Meiern" (eg a six and a one), which automatically becomes the highest value in the game. The lowest score is a one. The point values ​​of the other combinations remain unchanged.

Here is an overview of the possible combinations and their point values:

combination point value
Meiern (Six and One) Highest value
double (e.g. two fours) value of the eyes
Single Six 6
Single One 1

After each throw, the player decides whether to keep his score or roll again to get a higher score. The trick is that on each throw, the player must count the higher number as the tens place and the lower number as the ones place. For example, if a player rolls a five and a two, his score is not seven, but 52.

The game ends when a player reaches the highest score or when a player rolls the lowest score (a one). In the latter case, that player loses a point and the game continues.

Dice games like Mexico and Meiern add a lot of fun and excitement to garden parties. Whether you want to test your luck or show off your strategic skills, these games are a great addition to any social gathering outdoors.

Strategic games

In addition to the classic and active drinking games, there are also strategic games that can provide fun and entertainment at garden parties. These games require a certain amount of thinking and planning, while at the same time the focus is on fun and socializing.

Who am I?

"Who am I?" is a popular drinking game that is not only fun, but also challenges the memory and creativity of the participants. The game begins with each player having a card with the name of a well-known personality or character stuck to their forehead. The players must now find out who they are by cleverly asking questions to their fellow players. Each player may only ask yes or no questions to guess the identity of the person on their forehead. If they guess incorrectly, the player must drink. The game continues until all players have found out their identity or until everyone has drunk enough.

city-country-river

Town, Country, River is a classic game that also makes a great drinking game for garden parties. Each player is given a sheet of paper and a pen and draws a table with the categories of town, country, river, name and profession. A letter is chosen at random and players must find as many words as possible in each category that start with the chosen letter within a certain time. Once the time is up, the results are compared. For each correct answer, the player receives points. For incorrect or missing answers, the player must drink. The game is played over several rounds and the player with the most points at the end wins.

Strategic games like Who Am I? and Town-Country-River are a fun way to have fun at garden parties while exercising your brain. These games encourage thinking, creativity and interaction between players. However, don't forget that when playing drinking games, it's important to use alcohol responsibly. Enjoy the games in moderation and make sure all participants stay safe and well.
