I think i just found the next great american drinking game... its called "Battle Shots" and i have only seen a picture of two guys playing it so far i have not heard any official rules but i think i can do a pretty good job of coming up with some so here it goes!
Equipment:
2 pizza boxes or similar sized cardboard
- draw two 8x8 grids on each piece of cardboard one on the top half and one on the bottom half
- label the grids A-H along the top row (left to right) and 1-8 along the side (top to bottom)
6 shot glasses and a beverage to fill them with OR 6 beers of your choice
At least 2 markers so each player can mark their hits and misses (two each of different colors would be ideal but not needed)
Rules:
Considering that I do not think a game of battleship usually takes much longer than say a half hour I cant see using more than like 6 shots and still be able to make it through a game... so i guess im going to go with you need to have 3 "boats".
Also since i tend to have beer around my apartment more often than liquor i will probably play with shotgunning beer instead of taken shots so that is an option for everyone. I also would not suggest filling the shot glasses all the way up (this game is probably a lot better in a picture than in practice but whatever!)
Battleship = 3 shot glasses in a line next to one another
Destroyer = 2 shot glasses in a line next to one another
PT Boat = 1 lone shot glass
To determine who goes first flip a coin or Paper, Rock, Scissors for it!
Just like battleship each player will place their 3 "boats" somewhere on the bottom grid and then take turns calling out letter and number combinations (eg. B4 would be the 2nd column 4th row down) to try and find the enemies ships.
The enemy will inform them if they have hit or missed a ship. If a ship is hit that shot (or beer) will be drank by the owner of the ship and then the person who just had to drink will continue with their guess.
Use the top grid to track your hit and missed guesses so you know where to try next.
after one player sinks all of the other players shots err "ships" the game is over but there will be at least 1 shot left on the other players side which you can decide on your own what to do with but the obvious answer according to most drinking games would be that the loser would have to drink it...
