Beer pong isn’t just a game—it’s a party staple, a social glue, and the perfect way to break the ice. Whether you’re a seasoned champ or a total newbie, this guide will help you master the basics of beer pong so you can show off at your next gathering. And hey, if you’re itching to play, come by Momentum at The Six Six Bar, where we’ve got free-to-play beer pong waiting for you!
What You’ll Need
Let’s start with the essentials:
- A Table: Any flat surface will do, but a folding table is ideal.
- Cups: You’ll need 20 plastic cups—10 on each side.
- Ping Pong Balls: Two should be enough, but it never hurts to have a spare.
- Beer (or another drink): Fill each cup with a bit of your chosen beverage.
Setting Up
- Cup Formation: On each side of the table, arrange 10 cups in a pyramid (4-3-2-1) pointing towards the other team.
- Fill ’em Up: Pour a small amount of beer (or your drink of choice) into each cup. Remember, less is more—no one wants to drink a ball-soaked brew.
- Teams: Typically, it’s two players per team, but you can mix it up depending on your crew.
The (Not-So-Serious) Rules
Beer pong rules can vary, but here’s the general gist:
- Take Turns: Each team takes turns tossing a ping pong ball, aiming to land it in the other team’s cups. If it goes in, the other team drinks that cup and removes it from the table.
- Re-Racks: Each team gets one or two chances to rearrange the remaining cups into a new shape during the game.
- Winning: The first team to clear all the opponent’s cups wins. The losers finish off any remaining drinks on the table.
- House Rules: Feel free to add your own spin. Maybe a bounce shot counts for two cups, or you throw in a redemption round. It’s all about having a good time.
