Board Games Best Played Drunk

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UCSB chapter.

Drinking can be great. And, converting your favorite board game into a drinking game is even better.

Change it up from beer pong and kings cup, and try out one of these classic board games. 

CatchPhrase

Best Played With: Humorous people

CatchPhrase is a perfect game to play when you have a group of people. The basis of the game is to split players into teams and get their team to say the word or word phrase displayed in the disc. And, similar to hot potato if the buzzer lands on someone from your team or you, you can spice up the game and take a shot!

 

Risk

Best Played With: Dramatic folks that cannot handle losing

A game that is definitely considered a game of strategy. Although this game can often be seen to be tedious sober, you can spice it up by taking a shot every time you gain a continent and every time you lose one. Trust me, if you were to follow these rules, the probablility of you getting drunk will be quite risky.

Sorry

Best Played With: People who you have not wronged in life

One of the best games to play when you and your friends are trying to get hammered. This game is all about the sweet revenge, and the satisfaction that comes with knocking people back to ‘Home’. Take a shot every time you get sorry-ed. 

Guess Who

Best Played With: Those who are children at heart

No matter the age, Guess Who is hands down one of the best games to play sober or hammered. If you ask the same question twice you take a shot, because, well, that would be silly on your part. This game is short and sweet, and so if you lose you drink and get ready for round two.

Scrabble

Best Played With: Grammar geeks

Scrabble is great for those who want to show off. In the drinking version of scrabble the rules are those who end up placing an ‘s’ after a word have to drink. Also, if you play a word that is the same part of speech as the last word played or is misspelled you must drink. Bring out your inner spelling snob.
