Legless

“Legless” is a drinking board game that involves fun, laughter, and a decent amount of alcohol. It’s typically played with friends and can lead to a memorable night. Here’s a guide on how the game is played and its basic structure.

Legless Board Game Overview

“Legless” refers to the idea that by the end of the game, players might be “legless” (a humorous term for being drunk). It’s often played on a custom-made board or on a printed template, but the mechanics can be easily replicated with a basic board game structure.

Objective

The goal of “Legless” is to move around the board, completing challenges, taking drinks, and trying to make it to the end of the board without getting too intoxicated. The winner is the first person to reach the final square or the last player standing!

Game Components

1. Board: The game board is usually a simple path with spaces, and each space corresponds to a different action.
2. Dice: Players roll dice to move across the board.
3. Pawns: Each player has a pawn to represent their position on the board.
4. Drinks: Alcoholic beverages (players should drink responsibly).

Basic Setup

1. Players: 3 to 8 players.
2. Game Board: The board consists of a path of spaces, each space has an action written on it (more on these below).
3. Starting Point: All players start at the same point on the board.
4. Drinks: Players should have their drinks ready.

How to Play

1. Roll the Dice: Players take turns rolling a dice to move their pawn forward on the board.
2. Follow the Space’s Action: After moving, the player must follow the instruction on the space they land on. Typical actions include:
   • Drink 1-3 Sips: Take the specified number of sips.
   • Challenge: Perform a fun challenge like singing a song, doing a dance, or balancing something on their head. Failing a challenge may result in a penalty drink.
   • Take a Shot: Drink a shot of a chosen alcohol.
   • Swap Drinks: Swap your drink with another player.
   • Truth or Dare: Complete a dare or answer a question honestly.
   • Double Trouble: Whatever you land on next, you have to double the drinking consequence.
   • Skip a Turn: Miss the next turn as a consequence.
   • Free Pass: Avoid drinking or doing any challenge for one round.
3. Winning: The first player to reach the final square wins the game.

Types of Spaces/Actions on the Board

Here are some fun ideas for spaces on the board:

• “Waterfall”: All players start drinking at the same time. The first player to stop is the one who landed on this space, and everyone else must stop drinking after them, going clockwise.
• “Social”: Everyone takes a drink.
• “Back 3 Spaces”: Move backward and complete the action of the new space you land on.
• “Lose Your Turn”: Skip your next turn.
• “Shot Challenge”: Land on this space, and you must take a shot.
• “All Play”: Every player performs a challenge or must drink.

Variations

• Team Play: Form teams and move around the board in pairs. Both players drink or complete challenges together.
• House Rules: Players can come up with their own rules to add to certain spaces, which might reflect inside jokes or add difficulty.

Important Tips

• Pacing: Drinking responsibly is essential. Some players might want to pace themselves, especially if shots are involved.
• Drink Options: Not everyone has to drink alcohol. The game can be played with non-alcoholic drinks for those who prefer not to drink.
• Safety First: Make sure everyone playing is aware of their limits, and provide water and snacks to balance out alcohol consumption.

This game is all about having fun and making sure that everyone is included and comfortable. Make sure to play responsibly and know when to stop!
