A Game of Shotglass Chess

My cousin from the states went to the Philippines yesterday. She had a "pasalubong" for me. It was a shot glass chess set. I love chess ever since I was a kid. It was a game of strategy and intellect. We decided to use the glass chess set and play at my house after dinner.

The game of  shot glass chess is played just like a normal chess game. The only exception is that, you would fill your shot glass chess pieces with alcohol and each time you eat a piece from your opponent you would drink the alcohol from that piece. We filled ours with two flavors of Bacardi breeze. The effect of shot glass chess is that you get drunk as the game goes on.

At first, nobody wanted to eat chess pieces because we were afraid of getting drunk. Bacardi is a certified alcohol killer! You know how it burns your throat once you take a shot? What I did was I intentionally made dumb moves so that my cousin will eat my pieces and eventually get drunk. It did not go according to plan because my cousin was doing the same thing. We ended up moving the pieces without thinking just for the sake of it. We got all wobbly and my vision started to blur. The game ended end we didn't even care who won. hahaha!

Shot glass chess was fun. It's a no-brainer game that will keep you laughing. Hahaha!
