Spinners

Introduction

Here's a quick game to pass a few minutes before you move onto better things.

How to Play

A group of people sit around a table with a coin. The first person spins the coin and then calls out someone else's name. That person must either:

• stop the coin from spinning by capturing it (still on edge) with the tip of their index finger
• flick the coin to keep it spinning and call out someone else's name and play continues

Penalties

If the coin stops spinning and lands flat before the "receiver" manages to catch or spin the coin, the receiver must drink (2 drinks if heads up, 3 drinks if tails up), and the original "spinner" gets to spin the quarter again.

If the person who spins the coin causes it to leave the table when they hit it, they must take a drink.

Poor spinning that causes the coin to fall immediately results in the spinner having to drink, not the person they call.
