Oche Pong

Oche Pong

Oche Pong is a new twist on the classic party game of beer pong. Playing beer pong just got easier: set up Oche Pong on the wall, on a pop-up tailgate tent, or anywhere else where you do not want to be limited by a table. Now you can play balls to the wall beer pong and save the floor space to get down on the dance floor!

Oche, pronounced like hockey without the “h”, is the technical term for the throw line in darts. Gameplay is very similar to the classic bar game of darts and Oche Pong’s shape gets its inspiration from old world pub signs in design. If you are a bar owner, Oche Pong is a perfect low cost addition to bring fun to the club!

Great for tailgating!

 

There are three popular ways to set up Oche Pong. You can play on a wall if you have nails or skrews. You can play on a glass surface like a window with hooked suction cups. You can even play at the tailgate by hooking Oche Pong to bungee cords. If you order through their website Oche Pong ships with FREE hooked suction cups and bungee cords for your convenience. We put our Oche Pong on the sliding glass door at the new crib where there wasn’t enough space for a full beer pong table.

There are two main “official rules” variations of Oche Pong: one board and two boards:

 

Game Play with 1 board

Two teams consist of 1 or 2 players.

Each team gets 2 pong balls per turn.

Teams alternate turns with 2 throws per turn, each team member must attempt a shot per turn.

Cups are removed when a ball lands inside the cup.

If a team makes two successful shots in a turn they are awarded a third shot.

Teams keep score by collecting cups.

Each team can call for 1 re-rack, per game.

The first team to 6 cups wins.

In the event of a 5 to 5 tie, a 3 cup overtime applies and the first to 7 cups wins.

Double the fun

Two teams consist of 1 or 2 players.

Each team gets 2 pong balls per turn.

Teams alternate turns with 2 throws per turn, each team member must attempt a shot per turn.

Cups are removed when a ball lands inside the cup.

If a team makes two successful shots in a turn they are awarded a third shot.

The first team to eliminate all cups is the winner.

Re-Racks (Optional)

Repositioning the cups is generally permitted once or twice during game play. Re-racks or the number of re-racks should be stated before game play.  If you are looking for an official number to satisfy some spirited conversation then let’s say one.

End Game/ Overtime (Optional)

Once a team eliminates all cups on their board, the opposing team has one last opportunity to send the game into overtime.  The opposing team is given the chance to throw until they miss without any limits to the number of throws. The game is over if any shot misses. If the team has not used all their re-racks, they can do so once before end game starts. If said team also eliminates all cups on their board, the game goes into overtime.  Overtime consists of 3 cups put back into game play anywhere on the board they chose and normal game play resumes.

Tall Boy (Beer Pong All-Stars Rule)

If a player makes the top cup on the first turn, the opposing team must drink a tall boy.

Shot Pong

Ante up! Beer pong is getting an upgrade. If you thought beer pong got you bombed quick prepare yourself for shot pong, beer pong’s dangerous older brother. Now there a couple of different versions of shot pong floating around the net so here’s a quick rundown:

Simple Shot Pong

You’re going to need a wide table or separate place to keep your shot glasses. This simple version of the beer pong variation requires 12 plastic cups and 12 shot glasses. Fill each of the shot glasses to ~1/3. Now play pong as normal, but every time your opponent sinks a cups you must take the shot of the corresponding shot glass. Pull your solo cups as usual.

Beer Tab Shot Pong

Here is a another cool take. Beer tab shot pong uses beer tabs instead of pong balls. Set up a six cup rack of some uniform shot glasses and fill them to ~1/3 -1/2 with your favorite liquor. Beer tab shot pong works well on smaller table tops. These guys use 2 tabs a piece, if you do the same you’re sure to get tanked.

Rotating Shot Pong

Here’s a fun one and it’s a little less intense. To play start by setting up a 6 cup rack at one side of the table. This game requires four players but there are no teams. Each player sets up on a different side of the table. The person that is opposite the cups is the shooter. The shooter gets 3 shots per turn. For every shot the shooter makes, the person standing on the side of the cups must take 1/3 of a shot. Rotate after each turn.
