CAPS 101: Introduction to CAPS

Setup
For a 2 player game, pour 6 ounces of
Beer into the pint glass. For 3 or more
players, fill the glass with 12 ounces of
Beer.

Place the glass between 8-12 feet away,
equidistant from each player.

Gameplay
Players take turns trying to throw a Bottle Cap into the Pint
Glass. Each player is allowed only one shot per turn.
However, if a thrown Cap bounces off of the *rim* of the
glass, that player is allowed an additional shot. There is no
limit as to how many "rims" a player can hit during their turn.

2 Player Game
Player A scores 1 point when they successfully land a
Bottle Cap into the Pint Glass. However, Player B is allowed
1 chance to answer the shot. If the answered shot is
missed, Player A is awarded the 1 point, and Player B must
drink the 6 ounces of Beer in the Pint Glass. If Player B
successfully makes the answer shot, the point value is now
worth 2 and Player A must try to re-answer. This sequence
repeats, with the point value incrementing on each answer,
until one of the answer-shots is missed. The total point
value is awarded to the player that made the last answer
shot.

Note: Players are not awarded a second-chance for hitting
rim on an answer shot. Only one shot is allowed.

3 Player Game
When playing with 3 players, each player is their own team.
If Player A makes a shot, Player's B & C are allowed one
chance each to answer. If both players make the answer,
the point value is now worth 2 and Player A must
re-answer. If neither player makes the answer, Player A is
awarded the point and Player's B & C must drink the Beer.
If only one of Player B & C makes the answer, a point is
awarded to the player that made it. The player that missed
must drink the 12 ounces of Beer by themselves.

4 Player Game
Teams of 2 are used when playing with 4 players. Game
play is the same as with 2 players. The only difference is
that when a shot has been made, the maker gets to
choose 1 player on the other team to take the answer
shot. These will be the only 2 players involved in this
point.

Variations
An alternative way to play is to have opponents sitting
across from each other, each with their own beer in front
of them. Generally, those that play this style do not allow
a second attempt for hitting rim. The glasses are filled
with about 3-4 ounces of beer and games are played to
21 points, Win By Two, of course.
