HOW TO PLAY FLIP CUP PUSH! FLIP CUP RULES
Requirements
- Number of Players (2 or 4)
- 1 Plastic Cup Per Player
- 1 Shot Glass
- Any beverage to enjoy while playing
Objective
To win the round, push the shot glass across the game mat and into the opposing players’ colored end zone. How? By flipping fast and flipping well! Losing player draws a “Drink or Challenge” card.
Setup
Players stand facing each other on each side of the game mat. Begin each round by placing the shot glass on the center square of the game mat. All players should have an empty plastic cup to flip and a full beverage to enjoy while playing. Note: Alcohol is not required to play this game. Please drink responsibly.
Game Play
All players begin the round with a cheers of their cup. At the end of the cheers, all players repeatedly flip their cups as quickly and accurately as possible. Each time a player lands their cup upside down, the player moves the shot glass one space toward the player opposite of them. Note: The shot glass never moves diagonally. Once a player lands enough flips, the shot glass will be pushed into an opposing player’s colored end zone. The losing player then draws a “Drink or Challenge” card. Challenges apply to the next round of game play.
Danger Zone (Optional Game Play to Speed Up Rounds): The darker ring of squares on the game mat indicates the “Danger Zone.” Whenever the shot glass is on these squares, ANY player may land their flip and push the shot glass into the adjacent colored end zone.
Cards Explained
Turn Based: This is a slowed down game mode to test flip accuracy. Going clockwise & starting with last round’s loser, players take turns flipping their cup 1 time. When a player lands their flip, they move the shot glass 1 space in ANY direction. Repeat until all players inevitably choose someone to gang up on.
Slap Cup: We use the honors system for this one. Any time a player lands 3 consecutive flips, they may slap ANY other player’s cup off the table. If the slap isn’t successful, that’s on you. Time your slap correctly for that sweet satisfaction.
The Spins: This game mode is business as usual, except each time a player pushes the shot glass, they must spin 360 degrees before flipping again. It’s a doozy!
