Drinking
From Puzzle Pirates
Drinking borrows its mechanics heavily from PopCap's Alchemy game. Players must place pieces (alchemical symbols in Alchemy, drinking glasses and flasks in Drinking) on a board such that all pieces adjacent to the placed piece must match the piece in either color or type. Each spot is colored ("stained") a color corresponding to the player that placed the piece. When a player cannot place a piece, he must symbolically drink the flask instead. The player loses four turns if he or she cannot place three pieces in a row (and is considered to be "passed out"). Placing pieces scores points for the player; completing a row or column scores points for the player(s) with the majority of stained spaces in that line. Placing a piece on an unstained square will double the points awarded through that move. If all squares are stained, the player with the majority of stained spaces on the entire board scores points. The player with the highest score when a round is over (either when all spots on the board have been used or all players are passed out) wins that round.
Drinking is often played in inns and drinking tournaments are commonplace.
In the latest update on Y!PP the Drinking Game has been totally revamped. You now have three choices to choose from to place on the table, and you may now purchase special "mugs" to enhance gameplay, much like swords in a SwordFight.
