Caps (drinking game)

Caps (drinking game)

Caps is a drinking game commonly involving two cups of beer or water, two teams (of two players each), and bottle caps to be thrown into the cups. The origins of the game are disputed, but it is believed to have originated somewhere in the USA during the 1980s.

Basic rules

The basic rules of game are as follows. Four players split into two teams, and each sit anywhere from 5 to 10 feet apart, facing each other, with a cup filled with beer or water directly in front of each couple. Both teams take turns throwing caps into the other team's cup. Each time a team makes the cap, the other team gets a chance to "rebuttal" or "cancel", or try to make a shot. If no rebuttal is made, the team that made the original shot gets a point while the other team drinks their beer. However, if a rebuttal is made, the team who originally made the shot tries to make a rebuttal as well. This can go on for as long as it takes, depending on skill of the players. When a rebuttal shot is finally missed, that team drinks their beer and no points are awarded. From there, the game goes on regularly, with both teams taking turns shooting.

As with all drinking games, there are countless "house rules" and variations, such as how far apart from each other the teams sit or how rebuttals/cancels take place.
