How To Play:


The Russian Coaster Game

aka "The Stupidest Game In The World"



Background: The Russian Coaster game was created in March 2005 at a backyard party during Chicago's South Side Irish Parade. The game was born from boredom, drunkenness, and stupidity - three KEY ingredients you need to play the game

Materials Needed: Five (5) to Eight (8) beer coasters - any brand(but German is preferred), 4 - 100 players.

How To Play: Play begins with a "showdown". A extra person is needed to perform a countdown. This person counts down from 3 to 1 and then yells 'SLAP'. The first person to slap the table or bar starts the game as the dealer.
The dealer lays out all of the coasters in front of the other players and immediately thinks of one of the coasters. The players then put their finger on the coaster that they *think* the dealer is thinking about. Once all players are touching a coaster, the dealer then proceeds to SLAP each incorrect player in the FACE! However, if someone guesses correctly, that person is allowed to SLAP the dealer, and then becomes the dealer for the next round.
In the event that more than one person guesses the correct coaster, a series of SLAP-OFFS are run between the individuals to determine who will become dealer. Each player slaps each other in sequence until one player concedes, and the game continues.


How To Win: In the Russian Coaster Game, there are no winners, only losers.

  3. My favorite part about the game is that it depends heavily on the honesty of the dealer. You could lie and lie and lie about which coaster you were thinking of and slap players all afternoon, but so far that just hasn't happened. Of course, as increasingly red-faced participants grow suspicious of a long streak, the group may choose to instigate a "SLAPOUT", whereby all players begin slapping the dealer until he relinquishes the cache of coasters, ousting him as dealer and removing him from the game. The disgraced player must then drink three shots of Chambord as penance, and slap HIMSELF if he wishes to be re-admitted to the game.

  4. How can 100 people touch one coaster? Honestly? Does this have anything to do with Chocolate? CHocOlATe?
