How to
play.
Two players, two glasses, three periods. Your sip is your shot — wherever the beer stops is the call.
Setting up
Each player takes their own glass. You never drink from your opponent's.
Fill to the first puck line — about 12 oz, roughly one beer.
Rotate the glass to goalie 1. There are six goalies printed around it.
Players alternate turns. Each drink is one shot on net.
The read
Take your drink, set the glass down, and look at where the beer line stopped on that goalie.
Goal
You scored. Add one to your total.
Rebound
You get one more drink to reach the last red zone on that goalie.
Penalty
Your opponent goes on the power play. Their next shot counts two if they score. If they miss, the power play is over.
Save
Nothing happens. Your turn is over.
The panic drinking rule
Drink past the second puck line on the first shot of a period and that's not sniping — that's panic drinking. Embarrassing. Minus one goal.
How a game runs
Three periods. One beer each. Two goalies per period, in the order printed on the glass.
- Between the two goalies in a period, both players drink down to the second puck line before moving on.
- At the end of a period, refill to the first puck line and start the next one.
- Most goals after three periods wins.
Playing apart
You don't all have to be at the same table. Everyone needs their own glass, then get a video call going and play it exactly as written — every glass has the same six goalies in the same order, so nobody can fudge a call.
Overtime
Tied after three periods? Refill, go back through the goalies in order, and alternate shots. Next goal wins it.
Try a shot
Hold the button to drink. Let go when you think you've got it. These are the real goalies from the glass, with the real zones — play through and you'll meet all six.
