Drinking Game Question?

Whats better, 10 cup beer pong or 6 cup and what are the pros and cons to each game variation.
Also a list of different rule variations would be nice.

I would say 10 cups is better than 6. Because this way, the game lasts longer. Some variations of rules allow 2 cups to be taken away if you bounce your ball in… with 6 cups the game could end very quickly. Plus, 10 cups is a little easier because there’s more cups to hit. Just my preference, and like a previous answer.. you should try Shot Pong.. definitely more fun.

New Rummy Variation On Rummyroyal – Okey (Turkish Rummy)

Nicosia, Cyprus- March 24, 2010 – Turkey is famous for many things, and one of its trademarks is Okey, a Turkish variation based on Traditional Rummy that is played by millions of Turks every day. RummyRoyal has recently launched this interesting variation for its innovative application. We recommend giving it a try on our Fun Mode tables or with our special Training Mode option, before proceeding to playing Turk Rummy for cash.

The game is known in Turkey by the name Okey (pronounced O-kay). It is traditionally played with tiles and not cards. A standard set of tiles comes with two blank tiles, similar to the two jokers of the standard deck of cards.

During the game, the blank tiles assume the value of a random normal tile (7 blue, 5 yellow, etc.) and the latter assume the role of the turn’s wildcard. This is done in order to prevent card marking and fraud in offline Okey games. The risk of card marking doesn’t exist in the online version of the game, where all the cards are identical, but it was decided to include this graphic feature on the online version of the game in order to maintain the look & feel of the original. Turkish Rummy requires the use of a slightly different strategy, since the point penalties are determined not by the value of the cards in the players’ hands, but rather by the type of win (normal is worth -20 points, special wins are worth -40, and there is a -10 penalty for reaching stalemate).

There are several differences between Turk Rummy and other popular Rummy Games variations such as Kalooki and Rummy:

First, to lay off the player must have a full hand with only one excess card (the knocker). This requires turning even more attention to the opponents’ discards and pickups (which are allowed at All Times), as opponents can only lay down once they finished building their hand.

Second, There are special winning conditions that require some explanation. One type of special victory is called “Seven Pairs”, where a player wins by laying off 7 pairs of identical cards – (e.g. two 5 blue tiles, two 9 red tiles etc.). Another type of special victory is called “Wildcard Knocker”, where a player wins normally but knocks using a wildcard. This type of victory is worth double the points.

RummyRoyal are constantly working on the development of new Rummy variations. In 2010 the company will launch two more popular Rummy variations for its application. All the games are available in Fun Mode, Real Mode, and also in special Practice Tables with tips and gameplay instructions.
