Learn how to play Slap cup, the fast-paced drinking game that is perfect for parties and get-togethers. It combines quick reflexes, strategy, and a little bit of luck. The game is easy to learn but can take some time to master.
Supplies
To play slap cup, you will need the following supplies:
- Two solo cups
- A pong ball
- A table or flat surface
- Several full solo cups (anywhere from 10-20)
- Alcohol (optional, but highly recommended)
Setup
To set up the game, follow these steps:
- Place the two empty solo cups in the center of the table. These cups will be used for the initial rounds of the game.
- Place the full solo cups in a circle around the empty cups.
- Players should position themselves around the table, with each player having an empty solo cup in front of them.
Rules
The rules of slap cup are simple. The object of the game is to bounce the ball into the empty cup without having your cup slapped. Here’s how to play:
- The first player begins by bouncing the pong ball into their cup. If they successfully bounce the ball into the cup on the first try, they can pass the cup and ball to any player of their choosing who does not already have the other cup. If they do not make the ball into the cup on the first try, they must pass the cup and ball to the player on their right.
- If a player has the cup and ball and the player to their left successfully bounces their ball into their cup first, the player with the cup and ball must “slap” their cup before they can make the ball into their cup. If the player successfully slaps their cup, they must take a drink from one of the full cups in the circle around the empty cups and then try to bounce the ball into their cup again.
- The game continues with players taking turns bouncing the ball into their cup and passing the cup and ball to the next player until only one player remains without having their cup slapped. That player wins the game.
Conclusion
Slap cup is a fun and exciting game that is perfect for parties and gatherings. It’s easy to learn, but can be challenging to master.
