The Top 5 Party Games

Editor's note - If you play any of the games listed below, you do so at your own risk. Nobody at Mmmm, opinions (or it's Mmmm sister sites) are in any way responsible if you hurt yourself being stupid. Do not try these things at home; we are trained professionals.

Being an intern here at Mmmm, opinions is a thankless job. Long hours, no pay, and Slick constantly questioning your sexuality are just some of the challenges associated with the job. However, when i can get out of the office (located next to the old theater in Gary, IN), I like to party. And when I party, I like to play some games. After playing dozens and dozens of games, I have compiled a list of the top 5.

I recommend all of them.*

5. The Case Race

The Case Race is a great way to start off the night or a great way to embarrass kids from Westfield State College who think they can outdrink you. The game is simple: you and a partner drink 24 beers before the other team. Some people mistake a case of beer for a 30-pack of beer. Those people are always in for an interesting night.

4. Whiskey Slaps

A Slick favorite. Whiskey Slaps is a game played between two people. You take a shot of whiskey, and your partner slaps you. To make the game interesting, Pat the Intern and his friends only play men vs. women. Three of the women slapped during this game have slept with the guy who slapped them that night. That last sentence is both scary and really true.

3. Phone Swap

Put your phone on the table. Pick up someone else's phone. For the next hour, you hold the power to ruin someone's life. Some popular texts include texting parents that they are gay, texting ex-boyfriends/girlfriends and saying that they are still in love with them, or simply tossing the phone out the window.

2. Gamble Your Dignity

Gamble Your Dignity is a game where a person holds two dice. That person then picks someone else playing and says, "if I roll X, you have to do Y." The game is best played at parties where you don't know the people playing, because then you can make the classic GYD bet: if I roll a 7, you have to put all the silverware in this house down your pants. Which has been successful 3 times. Here is a sample of bets made:

• If I roll a 2, you have to date your ex-girlfriend again (who sucked)
• If I roll a 10, you can't watch March Madness this year
• If I roll an 8, you have to give a girl of my choice at the next party we go to a love letter that I wrote. And you can't read it beforehand.

1. Fire!

This game should only be played once.** It is the simplest of all games. You light an article of clothing you're currently wearing on fire and can't put it out until you chug a beer. However, if it is determined you drank your beer too fast, you can't put the fire out until you get someone else to drink their beer. Usually someone will put the fire out before anybody gets burned, but hey; you could have friends who hate you.

So there you have it. I have personally played or have heard of all these games being played, and they are loads of fun.***

Until next time, this is Pat the Intern.
