Drinkopoly
Learn how to play Drinkopoly—the chaotic board game that combines drinking, dares, and complete party madness.
✍️ June 20, 2025
Drinkopoly isn’t for the faint of heart—or for anyone trying to “take it easy tonight.” This chaotic board game takes the thrill of competition, adds a deck of bold challenges, and pours a generous shot of social chaos right on top.
Whether you’re sipping cocktails, nursing a beer, or taking mystery shots you probably shouldn’t have agreed to, Drinkopoly is the ultimate party game for anyone who thinks they’ve “seen it all.”
You move around a board, complete ridiculous tasks, draw challenge cards, and slowly lose your grip on dignity (and coordination). It’s the kind of game where winning isn’t really the point—surviving is. Ready to play? Grab a drink, roll the dice, and maybe clear your schedule tomorrow.

How to play Drinkopoly
Drinkopoly is simple: roll the dice, move your token, and do whatever the board or card tells you. It’s like Monopoly, but with way more drinking and zero real estate.
1. Set up the board and drinks
Unfold the Drinkopoly board, shuffle the challenge cards, hand out tokens, and make sure everyone has a drink within reach. Bonus points for snacks, water, and napkins (you’ll need them).
2. Take turns rolling the dice
Each player rolls the dice on their turn and moves their token forward that many spaces. Wherever you land, follow the instructions on the space.
3. Complete the challenge—or drink
Some spaces are chill (take a sip, answer a question), others are chaotic (rap battle, speak in an accent, body shot off your ex). If you bail, you drink.
4. Draw a challenge card when prompted
If the board tells you to, draw a card and do what it says. These can be anything from dares to tongue twisters to physical mini-games.
5. First to the finish wins—or just keep going
Technically someone wins when they reach the end of the board. But let’s be real—most people stop when their speech slurs or someone ends up napping under the table.
Drinkopoly Rules
Drinkopoly doesn’t have many rules, but it has plenty of unspoken ones. If you want to have fun and make it through the night, keep these in mind.
1. Play with people who know how to say no
The game gets wild fast. Make sure your group can laugh and opt out of tasks they’re not comfy with. No peer pressure allowed.
2. Pace your drinks
This is not a sprint. Some rounds are back-to-back sips and shots. Don’t be the one who peaks at turn 3.
3. Create a safe zone
Designate a space for sitting out a turn, hydrating, or just regrouping if someone needs a breather. Trust us—future you will thank you.
4. Switch up the drink types
Mixing it up with beer, seltzers, or even mocktails can make the game more manageable and way more fun for everyone involved.
5. Have a “taper” or game master
Someone sober-ish should keep track of turns, enforce rules, and stop things from turning into a free-for-all. It’s chaotic good, not chaotic evil.

Drinkopoly Variations
Once you’ve played the classic version, remix it with these Drinkopoly variations to keep game night fresh, messy, and full of surprises.
1. Reverse Drinkopoly
Instead of drinking, you earn “drink tokens” by completing challenges. Redeem them for perks like skipping dares, assigning drinks, or making rules.
2. Mystery Drink Edition
Set up a mystery drink table with labeled cups. Every time someone draws a card, they have to spin a wheel and take a sip from the mystery mix they land on. Could be OJ, could be pickle juice. Good luck.
3. Roleplay Mode
Assign every player a character at the start (e.g. “The Bartender,” “The Flirt,” “The Chaos Goblin”) and stay in that persona for the whole game. Break character? Take a drink.
4. Time Bomb
Set a timer. Every 20 minutes, whoever is last on the board does a group-chosen dare (like interpretive dance, or dramatic reading of someone’s texts).
5. Team Drinkopoly
Divide into teams of two. You move together, drink together, and complete challenges as a pair. Great for couple’s game night or chaotic friend duos.
FAQs about Drinkopoly
1. How many people can play Drinkopoly?
It works best with 3–8 players, but you can stretch it to more if the group is down to share tokens or pair up.
2. Can you play Drinkopoly without alcohol?
Absolutely. Sub in mocktails, soda, or water. The chaos still hits—you’ll just remember more of it.
3. What’s the difference between Drinkopoly and Drunk-opoly?

It helps, but you can DIY with a printed board and some dares. Or buy one deck and customize the rest with your own cards.
5. Can Drinkopoly be played in teams?
Yes! Team mode is one of the best ways to keep things interactive. Share drinks, complete challenges together, and carry your partner when they’re too tipsy to roll.
