    That’s 16 shots to whomever loses. No joke, I’d be drunk for 2 days if I had that many.

    Very creative but I doubt it’ll catch on because of all the extra material and prep needed.

    Beer pong only requires a table, a ping pong ball, and red cups, two of which are practically already guaranteed to be available at any party.

      Battleshots only requires two pizza boxes, a sharpie, and a bunch of shot glasses, all of which are also generally on hand, at least later into the party

        You forgot the ability to draw a bunch of straight lines, which is probably not that common at a party…

        On hand? Household sharpies disappear a day after purchase.

        It’s why I stopped buying them in packs. I no longer lose 5 at a time.

          Ah, I use them at work, and then they come home in my pocket, so I tend to have them everywhere

      We used to do it where we would set up two big squares of cups filled with beer, and the shots were mixed in amongst the cups. So you could see the other side, just didn’t know where the shots were. So we were still just throwing balls, but trying to hit the ships. But we also had multiple people on each team because a 30 rack and a fifth for each side is way too much for a single person.

      Well you could just have the normal board game but every time you your battle ships get hit you pour a shot glass and hand it to your opponent

    I have played this before! The set of boards were made of wood and a door hinge and a white board up top for your guesses. Would be fun to 3D print the ships

    Love it, but this game punishes the loser. Which just makes them lose even more, unless its not their booze.

        My rules for drunken Mario Party are easy:

        Take a shot when you:

        • Roll a 10

        • Get a Star

        • WIN a mini game

        The people who are good at the game get drunk first, and become no-so-good anymore.

          Once drinking is the reward instead of the punishment, drinking games get so much more fun for everyone. Yours sounds fun plus simple, I will definitely keep it in mind!

            It’s great! The mini games get crazy because people forget that there are games that are 2v2 or 3v1, so it changest the dynamics a bit.

            Another fun similar idea is drunk chess. Each piece has a value(for example pawns is 1), there are tables you can look up it’s standard in chess. Each piece you take, you take its value in shots(highly recommend shots of beer). There are strategies this brings up. For example your opponent hangs a queen in early game, you can take it but now you would need to 6 shots making you likely to mess up the late game.

      Not necessarily

      You could twist the rules.

      Instead of hearing “hit” you get handed the shot you just hit
