Penny Can

Penny Can!

Penny Can is a game invented by Bobby Cobb. It involves throwing a penny into an empty paint. It is often accompanied by copious drinking.

Rules

• 1. If a player gets the penny into the can, the player gets a point.
  
• 2. If a player doesn't get the penny into the can, the player doesn't get a point.
  
• 3. If any player gets the penny into the can, all players sings/chimes "Penny Can!".
  
• 4. If the penny bounces off the rim of the can and does not land in the can, the throwing player's ear is flicked while the flicker shouts "Rimshot!"
  

Rule #5: In-&-Out mustache

• 5. If the penny bounces out of the can, the throwing player has a mustache drawn on their face with a permanent marker.
  • If the player already has a natural mustache then the player will have "crazy eyebrows" drawn on with a permanent marker.
    
• 6. If any player gets three pennies into the can in succession then the "Penny Can!" chat is performed robot-style (both with a robotic monotone voice and performing the robot dance).

Variations

Ultimate Penny Can

Each player is given only one penny. The can is step a distance away. The officiator (Ellie) asks a question (about Bobby), if the player answers correctly then the player moves one step closer to the can. The penny can be thrown from any distance at anytime. The last player to get their penny into the can looses, and has to do the undesirable task (tell Bobby Jules and Grayson are dating).

Truth or Penny Can

If a player misses the can with their penny, the player must answer a personal question set to them by the other players. (WARNING: Truth or Penny Can may get real leading to hurt feelings).
