PLANE$

Instructions

Introduction

This game is called “PLANE$”. The purpose of the game is to help people “break the ice” to provide a “social lubricant” between the players at a bar. It is a creative and interactive way to lighten the mood. PLANE$ requires the players to fold paper planes and throw them into a pitcher. Whoever makes the shot last will have to buy the next round of beer. It is fairly easy to understand and extremely entertaining.

Steps of the game

1. Get a pitcher of beer and several cups (depending on the number of people) and place another dry empty pitcher in the center of the table

2. Portion out the beer into the cups in equal amounts

3. One person counts down so everyone can start chugging at once

4. Once you are finished chugging, start to fold your paper plane from a dollar bill (see video below)

5. Aim and throw the plane into the empty pitcher (if you miss you can try again)

6. If you are the last one to make it or are the last one attempting to make the shot, you lose and must buy the next pitcher of beer.

Conclusion
