“True American” Is The Next Big Drinking Game

On “New Girl” last night, the gang played a game of True American. A drinking game that is sure to spread like wildfire, so here are the rules!

I know, right? Now tell your friends!
"True American" Is The Next Big Drinking Game
Lauren Yapalater

The game is simple, it’s 50% drinking game, 50% candy land. The rules:

3. 1. To begin, Each person chooses a teammate by putting up a random amount of fingers to their forehead. Person with one less number than you have is your partner! YAY LET’S PLAY!

4. 2. Zones. Pawns. Soldiers. THERE’S A CASTLE.

5. 3. Shotgun tip off!

6. 4. The ground is lava-DO NOT TOUCH THE FLOOR!

7. 5. Chairs, couches, stools and people can be stepped on. THE GROUND IS LAVA THOUGH, STAY OFF THE GROUND OR YOU WILL MELT IN LAVA!

8. 6. Know the presidents, specifically JFK. They will come in handy. (This will be explained more in future steps.)

9. 7. Now move around! But stay off the floor!

10. 8. Chant time again! On the count of three put a number to your forehead, person who puts up a “1” gets to move positions!

11. 9. Ummm, on the count of three chant a very short poem about a president, then follow up with another short poem about a president

12. 10. DRINK!

13. 11. Piggy backing is encouraged.

14. 12. Recycle. Beer gets thrown in the bin!

15. 13. You touched the floor AKA the lava, YOU LOSE.

      Rules to New Girl’s True American Game prep: Arrange the cans of beer around the bottle of rum. The cans are Pawns of the Secret Order, the rum is the King, and the arrangement is called the Castle. Decide on 4 Zones, and arrange platforms ( chairs, buckets, anything ) in patterns through them. The 5th Zone is the Zone with the castle. You must follow the chair path through the zones. You can do team play or free for all play. If you choose free for all, chanting is then done in a set layer rotation. If you choose team play, only one person on your team has to reach the finish. Chanting in teams is done team rotation, with team members swapping the chant. To choose teams, count down from 3, and on 0 raise your right hand to your forehead, displaying a number from 1 to 5. Anyone with the same number is on your team. To start, someone shotguns a beer. This person chants first. Gameplay: Someone yells “1, 2, 3, 4 JFK”. Everyone else yells “FDR”, drinks, and gets off the floor. The floor is now lava. Stepping into it causes you to lose. You can start at the beginning of the Zone you are in, or choose to sit out. If you choose to sit out, you start over from Zone 1 if you decide to rejoin. If everyone is standing, no one is drinking or moving, the player who is next to chant may chant the name of 2 presidents. If you know something in common between the 2, you may chant it back and drink ( an example would be chanting “Abe Lincoln, George Washington” and having everyone yell back “Cherry tree”. Anyone who yelled back can now drink ). If you don’t know anything in common, you don’t get to drink. The chanter always drinks. Players can also chant “1, 2, 3”. If this happens, do the number selection again. If your number is alone, you get to drink and move forward. If your number has partners, you don’t drink or move. The third option is chanting “JFK” and everyone else chants “FDR” and drinks. No moving forward, unless you finish your drink. You also get to move forward when you finish your drink. Empty cans are all tossed to the same Zone. This is to keep the area somewhat clean. If someone throws a can into the wrong Zone, go back to the beginning of the Zone that player is in. You can use a bin as a target. Cans do NOT have to go in. If you reach the King, you have to take a drink from the King to win. If you can’t, go back to the beginning of your Zone. If you don’t know presidents well, you can any two things. If you move or drink when you’re not supposed to, you go back to the beginning of the Zone you’re in. Players are encouraged to lie to each other. Good luck and have fun.

      Seems a bit complicated for a drinking game and I imagine there’s a good chance things might end up breaking… I really don’t like things breaking, it’s just not nice.

      OMG I WANT TO PLAY THIS SO BAD! I was watching them play it last night with a great look of awe on my face.

    • julielarahm a year ago

      This is such genius; I fell six again dreaming of playing it.

    • hagen a year ago

      I like that it’s 90% drinking game and has a loose Candyland-like structure. That sounds intriguing.

    • Alexis a year ago

      so what happens if everyone puts a one on their forehead in step #8?

    • bloom a year ago

      it’s no marshgammon.
