Pass-out is an adult drinking game that can be be played with up to four people (or more if you team up with someone else). Its a bit like Monopoly, but instead of purchasing property you must consume alcohol.

*Game rules*

Just like in Monopoly you all start on the same square. The person with the red counter goes first, rolling two dice. Then moves the number of squares indicated by the roll in a clockwise direction. The player must then do what it says on the square. I shall go into detail about that later. Then each person must in turn take there turn and follow the directions on the square that they land

The Go to Jail square that can be found on a Monopoly board has been replaced by a Go to the Bar square, which if you land on you must go directly to. if you land on this square you must go directly to the bar, if you pass the start square you do not have to pick up a pink elephant card. If however you pick up a pass out card that says Go to the Bar you must pick up a pink elephant card. You can get out of the bar by three ways firstly rolling either 7 or 11 or by having a Get out of Bar Free card. Thirdly you could just down the rest of your drink. When in the jail you are not exempt from drinking so if someone lands on a square of your colour you still must take a drink

The start square is just like the Go square on a Monopoly board But this time instead of receiving 200 you will recieve a Pink elephant card.

The Free Parking square that is found on a Monopoly board has been replaced a square that says all must take 3 drinks

All the other squares are different colours. Orange squares mean you take a drink, blue squares means that the person who has the blue counter must have a drink, green squares mean the person with the green counter must take a drink. Red and Yellow squares the same rule applies. If you land on white square then you must take a pass-out card and follow the instructions. Finally pink squares, if you land on one of these everyone must have a drink.As I have mentioned before there are two sets of cards Pink elephant and Pass-out.

Pink Elephant cards
================

These cards contain silly little tongue twisters. So every time you pass go you must try and say them. the more times you go round the more slurred they become.

Pass-out cards
============

These are similar to community chest or chance cards in a game of Monopoly. it could go in your favour or it might just land you into taking 5 drinks.

The other rules that apply are to do with lighting up (these can be found in the pass-out cards). A player has the right to decline lighting up. But if however they light up without receiving a light up card then they must take a penalty of 5 drinks.

Drinks=====

It is up to you how much you drink, you may wish to just take sips, swigs or just down the whole glass. Its up to you.

* Conclusion*

I have played this game only once and what a great laugh it was. We were drinking a concoction of Beer, Cider, whiskey, home made Baileys (which we added to much gelatin to, so it was more like jelly) and a bottle of Thunderbirds. The game lasted about two hours and I was the last one standing. haven't played it since, but would love to find a group of people up for it. All my friends keep chickening out. A great drinking game and would recommend it to anyone who thinks they can handle the pace.
