Crap PongPlayers: 4Buzz Factor: 6Simplicity: 4

Thanks to a fun Friday night with the boys of Day Hall 7, I come to you now with a new twist on an age-old college drinking game, beer pong (or beirut, depending on which part of Massachusetts you’re from).

The rules are simple and nearly identical to the original game, so I’m not going to explain them. They are way too long to write out, and if you are still in the dark on how to play some pong, then you may want to skip this article … or you can just ask the next person who walks by; I’m sure they’ll tell you.

Where this version of the game gets interesting is that once a cup is made, it’s not immediately removed. Instead, the shooter rolls two dice and acts accordingly. If a two or a 12 is rolled, then instead of the just the one cup being removed, an additional cup of the shooter’s choice is removed. To counter this, when a three or 11 is rolled, no cups are removed. Where the whole thing gets really interesting is the ONLY time there is a re-rack of the cups is when a seven is rolled. So there could be a possible 10 amount of re-racks, but if no 7’s are ever rolled, there are none throughout the entire game.

The whole thing becomes as much a game of chance as of skill. And with the present gambling addiction on this campus being as rampant as high priced winter fashion, I’m sure that it’ll be a big hit for all your weekend activities.
