Quabocce

What you'll need: Quarters and as many or as few people as you like. You can also use poker chips instead if they are more readily available.

This game is incredibly simple, especially if you know how to play the lawn game Bocce.

In this indoor, table based version you simply use quarters instead of balls. I like to use a poker chip to act as the small white ball equivalent. If you have no idea what I'm talking about because you don't know the lawn game:

Place one specially marked quarter or poker chip or really any object of your choosing that is unique and not too large in the center of the table. Then go around the table trying to flip your quarter (as though you were flipping for heads or tails) as close to the center object as possible. The player that gets closest to the center of the center object gets three drinks to dole out. If the winner's quarter rests so that it is touching the center object, he or she gets five drinks to dole out.

Rotate the order of play to the left and hands cannot cross the edge of the table.

An alternate version can also be played that more closely resembles shuffleboard. Players can slide the quarters to the center and try to knock out one anothers quarters. In this version, the order of play becomes more important and thus, you can draw from a deck or find another way to decide who goes first instead of merely rotating if you so choose.
