Overview

Chugger Knights is a tabletop 1v1 duel set: clamp or set the board, seat a can each side, shield in one hand and lance in the other. Three shield taps to start — first to pierce the opponent’s can wins; the loser finishes what’s left (or takes an agreed NA forfeit). Fast rounds. Spectacle without a throw lane.

Why it’s a good choice

Spectator-friendly — the whole canopy can watch a duel in under a minute. Rotates challengers easily. Skill + luck mix keeps rematches interesting. Only for legal-age adults where the lot guide allows drinking games. Not a kids’ toy; lances stay aimed at cans.

Where best to play

Needs a sturdy table or clamped surface so the board doesn’t walk. Keep the duel zone on your mat — pierced cans spray. Not a grass game. Give elbows room so a miss doesn’t lance a neighbor’s drink.

Rules

  1. Seat cans securely. Agree fill level (and NA option) before taps.
  2. Three shield taps to start. Lances aimed at cans only — never at people.
  3. First clean pierce wins. Loser drinks what’s left or takes the house NA forfeit.
  4. Wipe the tray. Next challenger steps up.
  5. Cap the challenge ladder so one duel doesn’t become twelve drinks before kickoff.

Responsible drinking: water on the table, food first, ride plan locked. Full standard: Drinking games.
