Stump

Equipment

  • 1 Hammer
  • A tree stump
  • Nails
  • A drink each

Setup

Players must gather evenly around the tree stump with a nail slightly knocked into the stump in front of each of them. Drinks should be prepped and players can either sit or stand. The owner of the hammer holds the hammer to begin with.


Aim of the Game

Knock other players nails into the stump to make them drink.

How to Play

The player with the hammer must throw the hammer up into the air making it do a 360 degree spin, catch it and hit another players nail into the the stump

If a players nail is knocked straight into the stump entirely, they must take 3 sips of their drink and place another nail into the stump for themself.

If a players nail is only slightly knocked into the stump, that player must take only 1 sip of their drink

If a player knocks a nail sideways so that it bends, this nail must be fixed

If a player misses a nail entirely

If sparks fly, everyone must take a sip

If the hammer is dropped, the dropper must take a sip

Each player takes only 1 turn to do this each time they have the hammer. After a players attempt, they must pass to the next player around the circle.

The game continues until somebody gets injured or players have run out of drink/nails.
