The game can be made a bit more interesting by adding other rules as well. You then continue counting up using those rules until a player has to say 21, then they must drink. The player could also have said “two, three, four”, which means that they skip a person, so the next player to go would be the next but one to the right. Or they can say “two, three” which switches the direction, so the player to their left will be next to go. The player to the right (or left) can then say either “two”, which means the player to the right of them is next to go. To get the game started, the first person will say “I propose a game of twenty one to my right (or left)” The overall aim of this game is to avoid saying ‘twenty-one’, otherwise, you’re the one who has to drink!Īll the players need to first get into a large circle. How Long Does it Last? Anywhere from 5 – 15 minutes works best You don’t need any equipment so you can play it anywhere!
It’s a chilled one to start with, so it’s a good ice breaker game for groups that are a bit shy. Twenty One is a great drinking game for large groups because it gets everyone involved.
