Beer Checkers Review- Drunkest Checkers Around

A College Drinker Special Review:

This was by far the funnest night I’ve had in a long time. I thought that Beer Checkers would be innocent enough. I mean, it’s checkers, how drunk could this possibly get me. I sat down with my friend James to play a match, I figured we’d play a best of 3 as a pre-game for the pre-game. Wow, was I wrong.

The Set-up:

This Beer Checkers set is a big checkers mat, with little cups for the pieces. You fill them half way, and when you get jumped you drink it. Kings = full cup. And the loser has to drink everything left on the board. Easy enough. I feel like I’m pretty good at checkers. I mean, everyone’s good at checkers, it’s probably the simplest game out there. So James and I filled up our cups and started to play.

Instantly I knew this was going to be an excellent night. Playing checkers with cups of beer is brilliant. We each lost of a few pieces, started taunting each other, realized it’s about three beers per side. We started out even enough, but soon things started going downhill for my game. First rule of checkers: do not get double jumped! Oh man those were hard to drink, not only physically, but morally.

Kings Are Evil:

Kings are so powerful you have no idea. I never respected the checkers king before I had to drink a checkers king. If I could be anyone in the world I would be a King in checkers.

Friend: “Brendon, don’t move those pieces off your back line, James is just going to get kings.”

Me: “Shut up, what do you know about checkers?”

Friend: “I was regional champion in 5th grade, dick.”

James got about three kings and started dominating all my pieces. Soon I’m feeling full and have only one piece left on the board. James had six.

Remember that rule, loser drinks everything left? Yeah, that didn’t seem like it would be a big deal when we started, but it is the core of the game. I sat there facing seven cups, half of them kings, and had to chug them all immediately. James gloated in his victory, we checked the clock and realized the two of us had killed eight beers in about eight minutes. Oops!

Round #2:

I’m feeling really good now, and ready to kick James’ ass. We set up the second game, the beers are poured and the game is underway. I take an early and easy lead. Ha, payback is a bitch! Soon I’ve got a couple kings, and I feel pretty confident in my lead. My lead was so huge even my other friend’s 5th grade regional champion bull wasn’t going to stop me.

So a few minutes later James actually has come back pretty well. Fortunately I secured my victory, and James drank his losses. Naturally, the only thing to do now was call up some girl before we played our tie-breaker. They were gonna be about 45 minutes, so in the meantime James and I went on a drunken rampage.

To make a long story short, this was an insanely fun time. Beer Checkers is probably my new favorite thing.
