Game Plan

Russian Roulette

Players: two or more

Buzz Factor: 4

Simplicity: 10

We’ve got a little different aspect to Gameplan today. Instead of a card game, we’re going to talk about a very simple game of extreme chance.



Two or more people need a six pack of beer and the box it came in.

Take one can and shake it up. Don’t just give it a couple of wrist movements – really put your entire arm into it. Make it so it’s right on the verge of exploding in your hands. Then, put the can back in the box with the other five regular ones and mix them around without looking.

A player picks a can out of the box and puts it above his head. That player shuts his or her eyes tight and opens the can. If it’s not ‘the bullet,’ then the player drinks the can and passes the turn. If it is the can, then it explodes all over the person and he or she has to finish what’s left of the beer. And then for good measure, and to give proper credit to the title of the game, that player takes a shot of vodka.

Then the game begins again with five fresh cans – one shaken up in the box – and one willing person to start the game off.
