Game flow of Flunkyball

The playing field

First divide the players into two teams of equal size. The playing field, a meadow or free parking space is split in half. Then place a row with the desired number of bottles or cans on the center line. You can also fill in some water to stabilize the bottles. The two teams line up about 5 meters parallel to the center line.

Rules of the game

Before the start of the game, each player receives an opened or unopened beer, which he places in front of him. You have a ball and you agree on which team can start. The aim is to hit the bottles in the middle with the ball. If a bottle is hit, the whole team must prepare their beer and drink until the opponent has raised the bottle again, fetched the ball and held it in the air with his hands. Then it is immediately “put down the bottles” and put them on the floor. Then it is the turn of the opposing team.
