    21 (a numbers game)

    As a group, you’re basically counting up towards 21. However, the goal is to not be the person that hits 21+. Mainly a drinking game, but I guess you could add your choice of “punishment” for losing.

    Rules

    • The game starts at 1, and ends when a player reaches 21 or more, or someone makes a mistake.
    • When it is a player’s turn, they have 3 choices: 1 number (e.g., one), 2 numbers (e.g., one two), 3 numbers (e.g., one, two, three)
    • 1 number will pass the turn to the next player depending on the direction
    • 2 numbers will reverse the direction
    • 3 numbers will skip a person in the original direction
    • The play starts with a person saying: I declare a game of 21 to my [left/right], [number(s)]
    • You can’t double a double (e.g., if person 1 says one-two, person 2 can’t follow up with three-four)
    • You can’t triple a triple (e.g., if person 1 says one-two-three, person 2 says four-five-six, then person 3 cannot say seven-eight-nine)
    • The round ends when a player makes a mistake or a player is stuck saying twenty-one.
    • A mistake includes: saying the wrong next number, saying numbers out of turn, not responding quickly enough (i.e., did not realize it was your turn)
    • The loser needs to do the punishment, and will start the next round
    • If the game reaches 21, then the player who lost gets to make a rule
    • Rules might include changing the name of a number, e.g., instead of “four” you need to bark like a dog

    Example Say we have four players, clockwise 1,2,3,4 (i.e., player 2 is to the left of player 1, and player 4 is to the right)

    1: I declare a game of 21 to my left, one-two

    4: three-four-five

    2: six

    1: seven-eight

    2: nine

    3: ten-eleven-twelve

    1: thirteen-fourteen

    4: fifteen-sixteen-seventeen

    2: nineteen-twenty

    3: twentyone (loser)

    Player 3 would get to choose a rule, and would start the next round.

    The game gets increasingly harder as new rules are introduced.
