Full Thumper rules

By order of the Commissioner

Official Rules: Thumper

  1. Signs. Everyone picks a simple gesture, and shows it to the table. No two alike.
  2. Drum. Everyone drums on the table, the whole round.
  3. The chant. "What's the name of the game?" "Thumper!" "How do we play it?" "Like this!"
  4. Pass. The leader makes their own sign, then someone else's. That player makes their own sign, then someone else's. Fast.
  5. Miss your sign, make the wrong one, or stop drumming: drink.
  6. The player who missed leads the next round.
