List of Games for a Stag Do
1. Fuzzy Duck
Materials required: Alcohol of choice and a group of enthusiastic players.
Instructions: Get ready for an uproarious time with "Fuzzy Duck," the drinking game that puts a delightful spin on words and tests your linguistic prowess! Gather your friends in a circle and prepare for some laugh-out-loud moments.
The gameplay is simple yet entertaining. Players take turns saying the words "Fuzzy Duck" in succession. However, the fun doesn't stop there! A player can opt to switch the direction by saying, "Does he?" When this happens, the play continues in the opposite direction, with everyone now saying "Ducky Fuzz."
Be warned, though, as the game's trickery can lead to misspoken phrases such as "duzzy fuck" or "fucky duzz," much to the amusement of all! If any player slips up, plays out of turn, or breaks the rhythm, they must joyfully indulge in an agreed-upon measure of their favourite alcoholic beverage.
2. Thumbmaster
Thumbs, a table and your group of friends.
Instructions: Get ready for a fun and alert game that involves quick reactions and keen observation. In this game of "The Thumbs Up Challenge," one of your buddies will be crowned the esteemed 'Thumbmaster.'
Once the Thumbmaster is appointed, the excitement begins! Whenever the Thumbmaster slyly places their thumb on the edge of the table, everyone must react promptly and do the same. The key is to keep your eyes peeled and respond swiftly.
The player who is last to place their thumb on the table will face the consequence of downing their drink, making the game all the more thrilling! As a reward for their quick reflexes, the last person to join in becomes the new 'Thumbmaster,' ready to take on the role and keep the fun going.
Prepare for laughter, cheers, and some fast-paced thumb action in this lively and engaging challenge!
3. Assume the Position
Materials required: A bag filled with plastic toy soldiers.
Instructions: Prior to the start of the event, the best man gathers all the plastic toy soldiers and places them into a bag. Each participant then draws a toy soldier at random from the bag, determining their designated pose for the night.
Throughout the evening, be it between pub visits or at any spontaneous moment, the best man will call out: "Assume the position!" At this command, the stag participants, transformed into life-size toy soldiers, must replicate the pose of their respective mini soldier counterparts.
4. Ring of Fire
Materials required: Playing cards, alcohol of choice, and a glass for the centre.
Instructions: Gather your friends for a night of merriment with a lively game that combines playing cards with delicious libations. Form a circle, placing the deck of cards face down, and position an empty glass in the centre.
Get ready for a fun-filled time as each player takes their turn to draw a card. Every card holds a different significance that leads to delightful drinking challenges and enjoyment. The game is simple yet exhilarating, as each card unravels a unique set of rules. For example:
Ace: Toast to a special occasion or take a celebratory shot!
King: Declare a rule that everyone must follow until the next King is drawn.
Queen: Ladies' choice – she picks someone to drink with her!
Jack: All the "Jacks" cheers together, taking a sip in unison.
Number Cards: Follow the number on the card and take that many sips.
Joker: An unpredictable twist – create a custom rule or challenge for the group!
As the game progresses, the laughter and camaraderie intensify, making for an unforgettable night of entertainment and revelry. Just remember to drink responsibly and savour the delightful moments shared with friends!
5. Insect Beer Pong

Instructions: Set up the beer pong table by arranging cups on the table. Fill half of the cups with beer or other stag-friendly beverages, and fill the remaining cups with edible bugs. Ensure the cups are filled to a level where players can see the contents from the throwing line.
Players take turns bouncing the ping pong ball on the table, aiming to land it in one of the cups. Once the ball hits a cup, the player must drink the contents of that cup in one go. If the ball lands in a cup with an edible bug, the player bravely takes a bite of the bug instead.
To add an extra challenge, any player who fails to make a successful shot into a cup three times in a row will have to consume an edible bug as a penalty. It's a thrilling and adventurous game that guarantees plenty of laughs and unforgettable memories during your stag celebration!
6. Higher or Lower
Materials required: A deck of playing cards and drinks.
Instructions: In "Higher or Lower," gather your friends in a circle with the deck of cards in hand. Take turns revealing your cards to the person next to you. Now comes the crucial part – guess whether the next card your neighbor draws will be higher or lower than yours.
If your prediction is correct, the person next to you takes a drink. But beware, if you guess wrong, it's your turn to sip from your drink. And, to add a twist, if both cards end up with the same value, both you and your neighbor must finish your drinks. The game guarantees plenty of laughter and friendly competition throughout the night!
7. Pub Golf
Materials required: Golfing attire, a list of pubs, and drinks.

Assign each pub a "par" score (e.g., 3, 4, or 5 gulps). When you arrive at a pub, each participant must down their drink in the designated number of gulps according to the par. Keep score at each pub, and the player with the lowest score at the end of the night wins! It's a fantastic way to enjoy the evening and have some fun challenges along the way.

For example, if there are 15 players, and there are 8 heads and 7 tails showing, those holding heads are safe, and the other 7 players go again.
The game continues until you have a loser. When only two players remain, a coin toss decides the loser.
