Pretty simple...two teams...four glasses lined up from the end of the table, each team takes a side. First glass is 1/4 full, next 1/2 full, third 3/4 full, last is full all the way...each glass represents a "hit"...single, double, triple, homerun. The larger cups are for stealing...I'll get to that in a minute. Game starts with trying to bounce a quarter into the highest glass possiable...i.e. 2nd glass would be a double. That person is now on second base. If he misses, he's out. 3 outs, and the other team is up. (tough huh). Now, that person who got the double can "steal". You pour equeal amounts of beer into the 2 pints, and one person from the other team is the "catcher". The man on base tries to drink his glass before the catcher, stealing the base. If he doens't, then he's out. Oh yeah, when you do get a "hit" ie. double, the other team drinks the glass you landed in and any glasses infront of it. So, if you hit a homerun, the other team drinks all four glasses, and you get a run. You play 9 innings, just like real baseball. If you play quarters a lot, you should do pretty well at this game...10 guys can kill a keg in 45 min if they try with this game.
