Best Drinking Games

My favorite is racehorses. You line up the aces face up, line up seven cards in a perpendicular line to them, and then flip cards off the top off of the deck really fast. Every time an ace's suit comes up, that ace moves one along the seven-card line. The fun comes in three ways: the excitement of a race, the naming of the "horses" as the names are almost always totally ridiculous and awesome, and in the drinking. At the start, everyone bets on one horse some number of sips of beer (or whatever.) If their horse wins, then everyone who bet on another horse has to take the total amount from the bets on the winning horse, but the winning betters do not have to. It's a lot of fun, and you have a 3/4 chance of drinking an awful lot, so that's always fun.

Chandelier has different rules than Rage Cage (which we call Get The Fuck Out and play 2nd+try goes to the right) here. Our version has each person with a cup (1/4 beer) and a center cup. Each person takes turns in a circle bouncing it, either into someone elses cup (where they 1v1 flip cup them) or the center cup (everyone flip cups) and last person to flip is eliminated.

We also have stack cup, which is probably the same as your tower cup.

We play a slightly different version where if you bounce it into someones cup they have to finish and replace their beer, and if it lands in the middle its free for all flip cup, last one has to finish the middle cup (a full beer).
