1. Set the wide-mouth glass with a splash of water in it at the center of a hard table. This is the target glass. Nobody drinks from it.
2. On your turn, bounce the quarter once off the table into the glass. Direct throws do not count and neither do double bounces.
3. Sink it and you nominate one player to take a sip, then you shoot again. You cannot name the same player twice in a row. Miss and the quarter passes to the left.
4. Sink three in a row and you may write one house rule for the rest of the game. Sink five in a row and you retire undefeated for the night.
5. If the quarter lands in the glass and bounces out, the shooter takes the sip instead. The table decides ties and the table is always right.
6. One sip means one sip. Anyone may pass on any sip with no explanation and no penalty.
7. Coins are filthy. Keep the target glass well away from anything anyone is drinking and dump it at the end of the night. Hard table only, and no shooting toward faces, windows, or anyone's drink.
8. Sober version: shoot for points instead. First to ten sinks wins, and the loser owes the winner a soda.

House rule: Bitch Love rule: call your target before you shoot. Sink it and they sip. Miss a called shot and you sip, then sit out your next turn while the table replays what you said.

1. Tear one slip of paper per player. Mark one with an X for the murderer. Leave the rest blank. Fold them, put them in a hat, and have everyone draw one and keep it secret.
2. Everyone mingles and talks normally. The only requirement is that you keep making eye contact. A game where nobody looks up is a game that never starts.
3. The murderer kills by winking directly at one person. If you get winked at, wait three seconds so you don't give the killer away, then announce your death, sit down, and say nothing else. Dead players do not hint, gesture, or make faces.
4. Any living player can call an accusation at any time by saying "accuse." They need a second player to back them within five seconds. If nobody backs them, the accusation dies and play continues.
5. When two players are locked in, they both name a suspect on a count of three. Both correct and the room wins. Either one wrong and both accusers are out.
6. The murderer wins by getting the room down to two living players. Then reveal the slip and deal again.
7. Drinking version: take a sip when you die, and one more if you accuse an innocent person. The alcohol-free version is identical with water or soda, or with no glass at all. The game does not need it.

House rule: Death scenes are graded by the room. If yours gets no reaction, you deal the slips for the next round and you don't get to complain about it.

1. Everyone writes five entries on separate slips: names, movies, objects, phrases. Keep them guessable by this specific room. Fold them and put them all in the bowl. Six players gets you thirty slips, which is enough. Past sixty, the rounds drag.
2. Split into two teams. Teams alternate turns. On each turn, one player from the active team pulls slips and gives clues to their own team for sixty seconds.
3. Round one is talk. Say anything except the words on the slip or any part of them. No rhyming, no spelling. Guessed slips go in the team's pile. A pass costs you the slip and it goes back in the bowl.
4. When the bowl is empty, count the piles for points, put every slip back in, and go again.
5. Round two is the same slips, one word only. You say a single word and then your mouth stays shut until they guess or you pass.
6. Round three is the same slips, mime only. No sound at all. This is where the room falls apart.
7. Add up all three rounds. Highest total wins. If you want a fourth round, run it as sound effects only: no words, no miming, just noise.
8. Drinking version: one sip per player on the team that loses a round. Non-drinkers do the same with whatever is in their glass, or skip it entirely. Scoring is unaffected either way.

House rule: Any slip that survives all three rounds unguessed gets read aloud at the end, and whoever wrote it has to stand up and justify the choice to the room.

1. Everyone writes a well-known name on a sticky note, real or fictional, alive or dead, and sticks it on the forehead of the person to their left without letting them see it.
2. On your turn you ask the room one yes-or-no question about your name. "Am I alive?" counts. "Who am I?" does not.
3. A yes keeps your turn and you ask again. A no ends your turn and it moves to the next player.
4. You may spend a turn on a direct guess instead of a question. A wrong guess ends your turn like any no.
5. House rules: no questions about who wrote your note, no asking whether you are in the room, and no lying to a player about their name. The whole thing collapses otherwise.
6. Guess correctly and you are out of the hot seat. Stay in as a judge and settle the arguments over what counts as a yes.
7. Last person still wearing a note loses and writes the name for the winner in the next round.
8. Drinking version: one sip on a wrong guess. Non-drinkers take the same turn penalty and skip the glass. Either way, one wrong guess is one penalty, no stacking.

House rule: Write a name so obscure that nobody can crack it and you don't get to feel clever about it. You keep wearing that note into the next round and you skip your first turn.
