Anticipation: Whoever pulled the block starts by saying “One”.Everybody else in the group must then place their thumb on the table. At any point during the rest of the game they can place their thumb on the table. Thumbs: Whoever drew the card now has “thumbs”.The first person to lower all three fingers loses and takes a drink. If anybody else in the circle has done this, they then lower a finger and take a drink. The person who pulled the card says something they’ve never done. Never Have I Ever: Everyone holds up three fingers.The first person that can’t think of a rhyme loses and drinks. The next person in the circle has to choose a word that rhymes with the original word. Rhyme: The person that picked the card chooses a word.Whenever either drinking buddy has to drink for a cycle of turns, the other has to drink as well. Mate: Whoever picked the card chooses a drinking buddy.This continues for any multiple of seven or any number with seven in it like 17 or 27. The direction reverses and the previous person says “eight”. When it comes time to say “seven”, clap instead.

Sevens: Each person counts upwards from one in a circle.

First person that can’t name a unique category loses and drinks. Everyone in the circle name brands of cars, like Hyundai, Honda, Ford, etc.

Categories: The player who drew the card picks a category.

Take Three: Whoever drew the card takes three drinks.

Give two drinks to anyone else who’s playing. Everybody else continues drinking as long as the person to their right is still drinking. Whoever drew the card can stop drinking whenever they want.

Waterfall: Everybody starts drinking at the same time.

Whoever knocks it over finishes their drink! You can use many of the same rules that are typically found in a game of King’s Cup but I do challenge you to make up some of your own rules! It can be difficult to decide what to write on Jenga blocks so here are some of the rules that I like to use. Eventually the tower becomes unstable and someone knocks it over. If a rule is written on a block, whoever pulled the block must follow the rule. Players take turns pulling blocks out from the Jenga tower and place them on top of the tower. The rules of Drinking Jenga are very simple. See below for some suggested drinking rules.

Write drinking rules onto each Jenga piece. This can be done with a permanent marker or with a wood burning kit depending on your preference.

Sand each piece so that it is smooth. A random orbital sander will really speed up this process.

Make the cut, repeat. In total you will need 54 Jenga pieces, each measuring 10.5 inches in length.

Measure a 10.5″ segment on one of your 2×4’s.

Follow the simple steps below and you’ll have your own Giant Drinking Jenga set in no time.
