Bombs Away

In what some are calling the greatest creation since beer, a new beer-drinking game has come to life. I would say that those of us that took part in said epic game's first match less founded the game and more discovered it. It was just lurking, waiting for the right alcoholics to come around and introduce it to the world and barbecues everywhere.

The game of which I speak is, of course, 'Atom Bomb' (also known to some as 'Protect Your Hole' or 'Atom Ball'). The rules of the game are very similar to beer pong. Each team has a triangle of 10 cups which others are trying to make with ping pong balls. The differences lie in that there are 3 teams each at their own table instead of 2 teams at opposite ends of the table and there is a very small target in the center of each table as well.

Balls start with one team with the each player deciding a target to shoot on (either of the other tables). When a ball is shot at a table that team then gets to shoots that ball. Turns consist of 2 throws with balls back and triple cups applying (even if the turn consisted of 2 players from different teams shooting). There is 1 automatic re-rack at 4 cups. The strategy involved turns teams into allies and enemies quickly. It is essentially Risk meets beer pong.
There is one other twist...

ATOM BOMB:
The small target in front of each triangle of cups is called the "Atom Bomb". The target must be small and very hard to hit (like a small hole in the table or a shot glass). If an Atom Bomb occurs, that team must drink all their remaining beer and is out of the game. This applies whether the atom bomb was intentional or not (hence "Protect your Hole"). Every member of every team is required to take AT LEAST 1 shot at an opposing team's Atom Bomb every game.
Atom Bomb responsibly.
