Take “Party” Games to another level

Last Saturday, my sister along with some of her friends and I found ourselves to be completely too sober. So we invented a drinking game. It was 1v1 Naruto Ninja Storm II, winner takes a shot. Why the winner? Well obviously because if you were still winning you weren’t drunk enough! Unfortunately for me, I apparently kick major ass at Ninja Storm when I’ve had too much to drink. Though I was undefeated by my fellow drinkers, I definitely got KO’d by the Vodka.

So now I’ve rummaged the internet in hopes of finding other video game drinking games you and your friends can enjoy! There are tons out there (some of which are way too complicated for someone whose goal is to become completely smashed) but here are my top three:


1. Putting the Party in Mario Party
Any one that knows me knows I loathe Mario Party. And why? Because it’s completely unfair! Random stars to crappy players… stealing my stars because I landed on the wrong space! It’s the only game where one can win every single mini-game and still come in last simply due to sh*t luck. So how can we make this fun? Alcohol!

Seeing Stars: Any player that earns a star makes everyone else take a shot. If you happen to have stolen that star from another player, the player that is now minus a star has to take two. Sorry buddy, tis a cruel cruel game.

2. Little Binge Planet

Sure this game is all about getting along, working together and achieving a common goal. But for this one it’s all about being the last man standing. Anytime you kill a friend, they take a shot. If you kill yourself, count that as a kill and take a shot.

3. Super Smashed Brothers Brawl

SSBB allows for a lot of creative shot taking. The drinking game I found suggested taking a shot anytime someone is blown off the map with no hope of return. This happens…. A LOT, so if you want a few other suggestions here are some I came up with:

Pokeballin: Anytime a player uses a Pokeball, every other player must take a shot. If the Pokeball turns out to be Bellossom, Goldeen, Jirachi or any of the other super lame Pokemon, the player that unleashed it must take two shots. (Can also be used for smash balls)

Drink away your sorrows: Anytime you commit suicide, you drink.
