Learn how to play washer toss, a fun and easy-to-learn outdoor game that is perfect for playing with friends. It’s a great option for college students looking for a fun and inexpensive way to enjoy the outdoors, and it can even be turned into a drinking game for an added element of excitement.
Equipment
To play you will need the following equipment:
- Two washer toss boxes, each consisting of a rectangular frame with a hole in the center
- Four washers (two sets of two washers, each set a different color or design)
- Optional: alcohol for a drinking game
Setup
To set up the game, first place the two washer toss boxes a set distance apart, typically around 20-30 feet. The exact distance will depend on the skill level of the players and can be adjusted as needed.
Next, give each player a set of two washers and have them stand behind the designated throwing line. The game can be played with two players, or with teams of two or more players.
How To Play Washer Toss
The basic rules are simple:
- each team takes turns throwing their washers at the washer toss boxes, trying to land them in the hole.
- Points are scored based on which part of the box the washer lands in. A washer in the hole is worth three points. A washer on the box worth one point. If you miss the box entirely it is no points.
- The first player or team to score 21 points wins the game.
Drinking Rules
To turn washer toss into a drinking game, simply assign a drinking penalty. For example:
- landing a washer in the hole = give 3 drinks
- anding a washer on the box = give 1 drink
You can also assign drinking penalties for other actions, such as take a drink for missing the boxes entirely or having your washer knocked off by an opponent.
Conclusion
Washer toss is a fun and exciting outdoor game that is perfect for college students looking for a new and inexpensive way to have fun with their friends. Whether you play by the standard rules or add a drinking element, washer toss is sure to provide hours of entertainment and competition.
