Chinese Drinking Game
Chinese drinking games vary widely, reflecting regional customs and personal preferences. Here are a few popular drinking games played in China:
- Finger Guessing Game (猜拳喝酒):
- Players extend their fingers simultaneously, showing either one or two fingers.
- The aim is to guess the total number of fingers shown by all participants.
- Those who guess incorrectly or slowly must drink.
- Flip the Cup (翻杯子):
- Players sit around a table with a cup filled with alcohol placed in front of them.
- They attempt to flip the cup upside down using only their fingers, without spilling the drink.
- Success means the player passes the cup to the next person; failure results in the player drinking and trying again.
- Categories (分类喝酒):
- Players take turns naming items from a specific category (e.g., fruits, cities).
- The player who fails to name an item within a few seconds or repeats an item already named must drink.
- Word Games (词语喝酒):
- Players take turns saying words that rhyme with a given word or fit a specified pattern.
- Any player who hesitates, repeats a word, or fails to come up with a word must drink.
- Guessing Game (猜谜语喝酒):
- One player poses a riddle or a question to another player.
- If the player cannot answer correctly, they must drink.
- This game often includes puns or wordplay.
- Truth or Dare (真心话大冒险):
- Similar to the Western game, players choose between answering a question truthfully or performing a dare.
- Refusal to answer or complete the dare results in drinking.
- Drinking Dice (骰子喝酒):
- Players roll dice and follow the rules associated with the number rolled.
- Each number corresponds to a specific action or drink.
- The Horse Racing Game (赛马):
- Players choose a “horse” (usually a piece of paper with a number) and place their bets.
- A dice is rolled to determine which horse advances, and participants whose horse does not win must drink.
These games are often played in a jovial atmosphere, encouraging camaraderie and light-hearted competition among participants. It’s important to note that drinking games should be enjoyed responsibly, and participants should monitor their alcohol consumption to ensure safety and well-being.
