The game: Beer Chess

The name of the is Beer Chess. Beer chess is in fact played with beer. Your going to want to stock up on beer, it takes a lot to play! The white side is played with light beers, the black side is played with the same bands but regular beer. It has been recorded that a game of beer chess can last up to 5 hours in one sitting, with some intermissions. The board use for this game is not a normal size board. You can make one with black and white bathroom tiles. An other one is to just pay a mega chess board.

White: Black:
8 pawns: Bud Lights (8oz can) Budweiser (8oz cans)
2 Rooks: Miller Light (12oz can) Miller Genuine Draft (12 oz Can)
2 Knights: Busch Light (12 oz Can) Busch (12 oz Cans)
2 Bishops: Coors Light (12 oz Can) Coors (12 oz Cans)
Queen: Michelob Light (Bottle) Michelob (Bottle)
King: Bud Light (Bottle) Budweiser (Bottle)

The rules of the game can get complex!

  1. When one moves a piece, one must sip from the piece moved.
  2. When one's piece is captured, one must drink the entire piece.
  3. Castling requires two sips: one from the King, one from the Rook
  4. En passent requires only one sip (as in a standard pawn move)
  5. When one's pawn reaches the eighth rank, and is exchanged for a queen (or other piece), one's opponent must drink the remainder of the pawn.
  6. Once a piece is sipped, that piece must be moved. (taking back moves is not allowed)
  7. One may take as long as one wants to drink a captured piece, but the piece must be quickly consumed when a second piece is captured.
  8. After each exchange of pieces, the players must toast each other's health with the exchanged pieces.
  9. When one is put in check, one must sip from the King.
  10. Passing out constitutes a resignation.
  11. A player may not go the the bathroom before his move.
  12. When one is checkmated, one must drink:
    1. The remainder of one's King
    2. The remainder of opponent's King
    3. The remainder of one's pieces.
This is the game and the name of the game is beer chess.
