Best Drinking Party Games
Siege Pong – When Beer Pong Goes Medieval
| Number of Players | 2-6 |
| Produced By | Rusalka Games |
| Type of Game | Pong Game |
| Where to Buy | Rusalka Store |
Siege pong is an epic game that turns Beer Pong into a medieval quest. If you’ve played beer pong before the rules should be pretty easy to understand. The main objective is simply to remove the opposing teams cups before they can remove yours. But in this version there’s much more at play like defensive towers, attacking knights, special abilities, classes and more.
This game comes with two sets of cups (one for each team), a deck of cards and some pong balls. During the course of the game players stack their cups in a way that’s hard to sink for the opponents. They can place some cups upside down as defensive towers, or to support the other cups better. Additionally players get to play cards in their hands to give them an advantage such as throwing extra balls, assigning a class, or replacing towers. These cards are bought each turn from a face-up shop during the game. If you’re craving a game like beer pong that has a boatload more strategy, than this is an obvious choice.
