Nemo

What you need:

2 shot glasses, a couple of quarters,4 or more people,7 cups, and an unlimited amount of beer.

 

 How to play

 First: you put 6 of the cups in a circle with a 1/4 cup of beer in all of them. The 7th cup is the nemo cup. You fill this cup all the way up and place it in the middle of the circle. After the cups are filled you get in a circle with the 2 shot glasses on opposite sides of the table. To begin the game, the people with the shot glasses bounce a quarter into the shot glass. Once they do so, they pass the glass and the quarter to the left. You keep doing this until someone still bouncing the quarter in the glass gets jumped. Once they get skipped they drink one of the cups in the circle(not the nemo cup). If you make it your first try, you can pass it either way but once you don’t make it first try, it always passes left. The object is to last as long as you can without “Tapping Out”.
Finally, the NEMO CUP: If you have the shot glass and you are feeling lucky, you can say Nemo then (someones name your playing with). You can do this any time during the game once you have possession of the glass.
Example: Say your playing with kehl, james, ryan , jim. If jim is feeling lucky he can say “NEMO KEHL” and then bounce the quarter into the glass. If he makes it first try, then kehl has to drink the “nemo cup”. If jim misses that shot, then he must drink the nemo cup and the game continues…meanwhile the other glass is being passed and you must drink your beer before you shoot. Once a cup is finished, then it must be refilled A.S.A.P because they r gna go fast.
