How do you play Thumper, the drinking game?

Question

They play it in the movie Beerfest and it looks interesting.

I've never heard of it before.

Does anyone know how to play?

Answer 1

Drinking Game: Thumper  Add to My Games

Everyone sits around a table and makes a gesture to represent themselves. After everyone has decided on a gesture, go through them all one more time. Everyone then begins drumming on the table and one person says "What is the name of the game?" everyone replies "Thumper!". The same person says "Why do we play it?" and everyone replies "To get f*%$ed up!". Then the person does their gesture and then someone else's. The persons gesture they did must do their gesture and then another persons. Everyone else must still be drumming. The first person to mess up drinks.

Answer 2

the first 2 have it right but it is so much more entertaining when you do perverted gestures (come on what fun is flapping your arms?)

Answer 3

let me look for the movie beerfest as that sounds good, and i will get back to ya!

Answer 4

It's a silly game. I've only played it a couple times, but it's fun.

Basically, everyone sits around a table. Before the game starts, everyone picks some sort of gesture to be their identity. Someone might be flapping their arms like a bird, for example, and another person might make a swimming motion.

Someone is picked to start. Everyone else drums on the table. The person makes his own gesture, and then someone else's. The person whose gesture was done makes that gesture and then someone else's, without hesitating. It can't be the person who just went, either.

When someone messes up, either forgetting to go right away, forgetting to do someone else's gesture, or doing the gesture wrong, he has to drink.

You could probably work out an elimination system if you wanted to make it more competitive, but there wouldn't really be a way for there to be just one winner.
