Party games are a great thing. They are a perfect pastime, the ideal icebreaker, and a guarantee that when the mood is low, it will likely improve after playing a party game like sevens. This drinking game without cards can be played spontaneously and requires no planning in advance. Gather some friends, alcohol and follow the rules below to get started.

Seven Drinking Game Rules

Before we describe the gameplay for seven, we would like to briefly explain the rules. As the name suggests, this game is all about numbers. The difficulty lies in the fact that certain numbers cannot be pronounced. Instead, they have to be replaced by the word "schnapps". These include:

How to Play Sevens Drinking Game

Playing sevens drinking game is very simple, or you'd think, but once you consider the rules above this game gets very challenging quickly. The goal of the game is to count to 100 and begins with the first person saying "1" then the next person says "2" and so on. You can count over 100 if you want but know that this game gets very challenging even for math freaks when you account for all the rules like numbers that add together to make 7 and are divisible by 7, so we normally stick to a limit of 100.

If it is your turn and one of the rules apply you have to make sure to say "schnapps" instead of 7 or the number, otherwise you must drink - if you have schnapps then take drink of that. Once you are done drinking then the next player continues the count from where you messed up. However, house rules can change this so that when anyone messes up the game starts from 1 again, decide this beforehand.

The best part about playing the sevens drinking game is that you don't need any extra materials like cards or anything so you can play it whenever! Check out some of our other fun drinking games without cards.

How to Play Roxanne Drinking Game – Rules

Nothing quite like a musical drinking game.

Get your drinks ready and play Roxanne by The Police on a computer, phone, tablet, or wherever you can. Every time you hear “Roxanne” everyone has to drink. A simple game with a high drinking factor.

How to Play Baseball Drinking Game – Setup

Set up the four shot glasses on the other end of the table in a row so that it forms a line going away from you (the home base where you will be shooting from across the table). Each player on the visiting team takes turns shooting the quarter at the shot glasses. The first glass represents a single, the second a double, the third a triple, and the last a home run. Three strikes (misses of all shot glasses) and you are out. Three outs and the other team is up to bat.

Game Rules

The game follows as regular baseball and runs are scored in the same way (except that you have to keep track of the runners on base in your head). Drinking happens in the following manner:

  • Fill the shot glasses with beer.
  • If a player makes the quarter into a shot glass (gets a hit), they must drink the contents of the shot glasses behind the one they made.

For example, if they hits a single, they must drink the remaining three shot glasses full of beer. If they hits a triple, they only have to drink one. If they gets an out, they must drink all four.

  • The opposite team must drink for each run the other team scores.

This game is pretty simple but lots of fun (and lots of drinks)!

How to Play Most Likely To Drinking Game – Rules

The game begins when everyone has a drink and one player begins by asking a question, such as “Most likely to pass out on the toilet seat?”. Everyone points at one person they think would best fit the answer to that question. You have to drink one second for every person pointing at you, you can obviously increase the number of seconds if you’re looking to get shit faced, so if five people point at you then you have to drink five seconds or whatever you all decided before the game started.

Most Likely To Questions Examples

The best things in life are simple and this can be applied to many different areas of life. Wrapping yourself in a warm blanket on a cold day when it is snowing, reading a good book, free food, are some of those simple things that cost nothing but give us a great experience.

For this game, we kept that fact in mind and wanted to show that when it comes to party games, you don’t need to spent lots of money on board games or other materials which will eventually collect dust in the closet. You want a simple game that is fun? “yes, no, maybe” is a great drinking game without cards or any other materials.

Yes No Maybe Game Setup

Before you begin have all players sit in a circle and place whatever you’re drinking in the middle of the circle. You might also want to decide how many drinks a person takes for messing up. Then a player is chosen who will begin answering the questions asked by others. You can either start with the youngest / oldest player, roll some dice, or some other way.

Yes No Maybe Game Rules

Once you have a player that will start, this person will be asked questions by others in the circle. Before the question-and-answer session starts, the stopwatch is set to one minute. As long as the stopwatch is running, the player must now answer the questions of the other players. You can ask any questions you want of the player and all questions must be answered. However, it is forbidden to use the three words “yes”, “no” and “maybe” in the answers. If any answer contains one of these three words, then the player must drink the amount of alcohol agreed upon before the game began. It is also forbidden to answer every answer the same. So saying “I did it” twice in a row is forbidden and the player must drink if they repeat an answer like this. Once the minute is over, it is the next player’s turn going clockwise and now they must face the questions of everyone in the circle.

Although the game seems very simple it will not be the case when the drinks are flowing and your concentration isn’t at its best, so not saying the forbidden words becomes very hard since “yes”, “no” and “maybe” are used very often in everyday language. The more you drink during the game the harder it becomes to not mess up and drink more so as the game goes on it becomes more fun to play.

This drinking game is all about good concentration. While counting the numbers sounds pretty easy and straightforward, there are additional rules that come into play like clapping for certain numbers that make the game challenging as it goes on since you are also conversing. 

The game sounds complicated at first but is actually quite funny. Incidentally, the game originally comes from the Asian region, or from Korea, which explains the name.

Sam Yuk Gu (3, 6, 9) Game Rules

There are actually only 2 rules in the game:

The players sit in a circle and one person begins by saying the number 1. Then the game goes clockwise and the next player says the next number so 2 in this case, the third player has to clap once to instead of saying the number 3. If its your turn and the number includes 3, 6 or 9, the number will replaced by a clap instead and the next person goes. This applies for several numbers together including the clap numbers so you can clap up to three times. An explanation:

Memorization becomes more important for certain numbers like when it gets to the 30s every person has to clap at least once (ex. 31) or twice (ex. 33, 36, 39), but there are no numbers said out loud until it gets to 40 since every number from 30 to 39 at least has one clap number (3).

If someone makes a mistake, speaks a forbidden number, forgets to clap, gossips too little or too often or takes too long to do their turn then they must drink.

I’m Going to the Bar Drinking Game Rules

Fill all the shot glasses and give one to every person. The game begins with one person saying something like “I’m going to the bar and I need a Heineken”. Now the next player has to say the same thing, but has to add on another drink such as “I’m going to the bar and I need a Heineken and Brandy”. This continues until someone cannot think of something or gets the list of alcoholic beverages already mentioned wrong, they then have to take their shot.

How to Play Medusa Drinking Game & Rules

Pour a lot of shot glasses and place them in the middle of the table. Now everyone puts their head down and on the count of three, everybody raises their head and stares at another person on the table. If you stare at somebody who isn’t looking at you then your safe, however if you are staring at somebody else’s eyes then you must yell “Medusa” and take a shot - the same applies to the other person. Continue this until all the shots in the middle are gone.

Taboo Drinking Game Rules & How to Play

Before guests arrive, write down a couple of common actions, words, and phrases on index cards – enough for everyone coming. These should be things that are bound to be done or said a few times throughout the night, not every other word like “the”. Every time a person hears words, phrases, or sees somebody do an action that was assigned to them they yell “Taboo” and that person drinks.

Get creative with the ideas, some fun examples include:

This game can be played throughout the night and can be included in with other games being played.

How to Play Beer Pot & Game Rules

All players sit in a circle. Each player contributes one beer to the pot. One player starts drinking from the pot. This person can drink as much or little as s/he chooses. When done, the pot passes to the next player who does the same thing. The person who empties the pot is the winner. The person who drinks immediately before the winner is the loser.

The loser must then put a beer in the pot for each of the players; then play starts again. Or a variation is that the loser puts in two beers, the winner zero, and everybody else puts in one.

This is also a great game to be played in bars. Buy a big pitcher of beer. Pass it around. The loser buys the next pitcher.

It is important that the pot/pitcher is big – it makes it harder to judge the amount of beer remaining.
