Flip N' Roll[edit]
Flip N' Roll is a game created by eight friends from New York, originated and played for the first time during August 2014 in Pacific Beach, San Diego. Flip N' Roll is a social drinking game that involves aspects of cee-lo, chandeliers, flip cup, and beer pong[1]. It may be played relay style, or single time-trials. Skill and concentration are said to be the four most important skills, with cleverness, balance, and team-work playing a role in the game as well. While luck is said to play a role in the dice rounds, it is widely agreed that Flip N' Roll is a game of pure skill.
Rules/Format[edit]
Game materials are:[edit]
- 4 cups (1 for chandeliers and flip cup, two for beer pong and flip cup, 1 for extra balls)
- 3-4 dice
- 3-6 ping pong balls
Jobs:[edit]
- 1 "Flip N' Roller" - the person actually playing the game
- 1 "Ball Retriever" - the person who retrieves ping pong balls after a missed beer pong shot
- 1 "Spotter" - the person gathering the ping pong balls from the Retriever and re-setting them for the Flip N' Roller
- 1 "Time Keeper" - the person recording the time with a stopwatch to the hundredth of a second
- 1 "Score Keeper" - the person who writes down the Flip N' Rollers score
Rules:[edit]
The game begins with the 4 sub-jobs chanting "Flip, flip, flip and roll" and the Flip N' Roller responding with "this is how we Flip N' Roll". The Flip N' Roller may substitute their response with a rhyme that is relevant to the group.
Drinking on the Sideline[edit]
One of the most important social aspects of the game, drinking on the sideline brings the Flip N Roller, all supporting jobs, and all spectators together. At any time before, during, or after the game anyone near the table may request "drinking on the sideline". This is not a chug or binge-drink of any sort, but rather a toast or cheers to the enjoyment of the game.
Records[edit]
Single time-trial High Score: 00:25:67 Single time-trial Low Score: 02:28:00
Controversy[edit]
The game requires several people to stand around the table in addition to non-participating spectators. The Flip N' Roller may use force to get around the table, including shoving or throwing a ping-pong ball into someone's eye.
The Flip N' Rollers response chant is meant to be fun, but it must be relevant to the group. e.g. "I like cool totem pole" is not an acceptable response unless totem poles are relevant to the group.
