A Variation of the game Beer Pong, played with a type of Whiskey instead of beer where players throw ping pong balls into cups. Players are all on one side of the table instead of opposing sides, as in beer pong. The game is a big hit at parties where there is an odd number of people and everyone wants to play. About The game of Pirate Pong was invented by 3 college students in Texas on a spring break trip to South Padre Island. They wanted a game that the could play since there was only 3 of them, and they were huge fans of beer pong. This game satisfies both of those needs. *Not intended in areas where drinking age is less than 21 Setup The game uses Solo cups, ping pong balls, a flat table with some sort of backboard, and Southern Comfort and Dr Pepper (Other types of liquor can be substituted if desired). Setup consists of 15 cups arranged in a triangle shape, similar to beer pong with the wide end of the triangle facing the backboard. Combine about 200 ml of Southern Comfort and about 800 ml of Dr Pepper, then pour evenly through the back 14 cups, and for the front cup put in about a shot or shot and a half of the Southern Comfort and a little Dr Pepper. This front cup is known as the "pirate cup" because it has considerably more alcohol than the other cups. It is also a good idea to have a water to cup to clean the ping pong balls off in the event that the ball lands on the ground. Gameplay Order :Almost any number of people can play, it is not limited to 4 like beer pong. Players stand roughly 8 feet from the cups and shoot to see who goes first. All players shoot consecutively until everyone has made a cup, because this determines the order in which players will go. Shooting :After the order has been determined, the first player shoots. If he makes the ball in the cup, then the second person must make the ball in the cup. If he does not, then that second player must drink the cup. If the second player made it in the cup, then the third player must make it in the cup. It is a continuation with all players trying to make it in the cup. For example, if you are playing with 3 people and they all make it, then it goes back to the first player where he must continue. If he misses, then he has to drink 3 cups. Those cups are removed from the game and players must shoot for the other cups now. Types of shots :Players can shoot the ball however they like, but the most effective ways are usually throwing with an arc or bouncing off the backboard. Other Rules Players must not make it in the pirate cup, if they do then their shot does not count and they must drink and refill the cup before gameplay continues. Players are allowed to bounce the ball into the cup, but it does not count for more than one cup as in beer pong. Players making it in the same cup does not count for extra cups either, they can choose one of the other cups to drink. The first player is allowed to call for 2 reracks during the game, and only when it is his turn to shoot. The player can set the cups up however he wants. Winning the Game The game is played until all 14 cups except for the pirate cup have been made. After all other cups are gone, now players must aim for the last cup. Rebuttal :If one player makes it in this cup, the other players have a chance to make it. They get one shot each, and the first person to miss has to drink the cup. For example: if the first player makes it in the cup, and the second player makes it, and the third misses, then he will have to drink it after a winner between the other two players has been determined (the first two continue shooting until one misses). Variations If there are quite a few players, then the number of cups can be changed from 15 to 21, or 28 and the amount of alcohol can be adjusted accordingly. Also, for a more challenging game you can make all 3 corners of the triangle pirate cups and the players must avoid all 3 of these until the very end like normal.
