Spildew was invented in the late 19th century by Addison Robert Scots. He was a student attending Friends University of Central Kansas. originally created as a drinking game for Christians using alternatives for alcohol. At first, the administration did not look favorably upon the game, a select few of Scots' friends joined in to help him save it. They pointed out that it was merely a game to have fun. The administration allowed the game to continue. Spildew soon became one of the most played games in Christian campuses until game consoles came around. However, Spildew is still played by some student's looking for some outdoor fun. Rules The object of the game is to throw an open bottle with a certain beverage inside to a friend. As you catch the bottle, you have to take one step back. Then the other player throws the bottle back at you. If you miss catching the bottle, you have to drink the rest of the contents of the liquid and move two steps closer to the other player. If there is an unfair throw, the offending player must drink a whole bottle of the designated drink in 10 seconds or automatic loss of game. The game continues until three drops in a row by one player occurs or a player vomits.
