Chandelier is a drinking game that is a spinoff of Quarters. It moves a lot faster than Quarters, since there are a lot more targets to hit. The game involves a lot of beer as it gets consumed very quickly.

Equipment

• 1 Shot glass
• 1 Larger glass for each player
• Several quarters
• Beer
• Liquor

Set up

• A shot glass is filled with liquor and put in the center of the table.
• Larger glasses (one for each player) are also filled with beer, arranged around the center glass in a circle, and in front of the respective players.

Game play

• The player in possession of the quarter bounces it on the table, trying to land it in a cup.
• If the quarter misses, it's the next player's turn.
  • If the quarter lands in that player's cup, he/she drinks it(alt. he/she chooses).
  • If the quarter lands in another player's cup, the player whose glass it lands in has to drink the beer, and refill his/her glass.
  • If the quarter lands in the small center glass, every player has to chug the beer in his/her large glass, and the last to set down his/her empty glass must also drink the liquor in the center glass.
• The quarter is then passed to the next player.
• Hands Rule
  • One hand is a drinking hand, the other is a throwing hand.
  • Drinking hand must be on the table at all times except;
    • when drinking from own glass or the middle glass.
    • after calling 'hands' to leave the game or get a quarter
  • If drinking hand is lifted off the table, he/she must drink own cup and refill.
  • Drinking hand is used to grab own glass when the center cup is made.
  • You may not change hands from drinking to throwing at any point during the game.
  • Throwing hand can not be used for drinking at any point.

• Whoever drinks a glass must refill it.^[1]
• The game can also be played with plastic cups and a ping pong ball. In this variation, when the ball lands in the center glass, every player has to chug the beer in his/her cup and then proceed to play flip-cup with it. The last player to flip his/her cup must drink the center glass.
