[Game] Introduction to Classic Host Club Drinking Games – 'Kokon Tozai,' 'Aikode Pon,' and the Majority Rules Game [Choriran]

Using the familiar game of rock-paper-scissors, you determine the true winner based on actions taken after the result.

Start with one hand placed on the table; if the round is a tie, lift the hand from the table and clap both hands together.

Aim to clap faster than your opponent while being careful not to raise your hand when the round has a decisive winner.

It’s also fun to add a twist where players who clap too slowly or mistakenly raise their hand receive a penalty—this creates more mind games and makes the game more engaging.

Jenga

MTG World Champion vs. Jenga

Jenga is a classic pastime that kids and adults alike can get excited about.

These days, all kinds of Jenga sets are on the market.

Many people probably remember playing it often as a child, or with relatives when everyone got together.

If you’re drinking at home, chances are you have a Jenga set—or can find one if you look.

You can play one-handed while sipping and chatting, or forget the drinks altogether and dive deep into the game.

If you play again after a long time, you’re sure to have fun!

Ritz Fighter

After-Party and Year-End Party Game Reference Video Vol. 4: “Ritz Fighter!” | For After-Party and Year-End Party Prizes, Choose Prize King

A popular game for head-to-head battles is Ritz Fighter.

The rules are simple: you stuff Ritz crackers into your mouth all at once, and whoever finishes eating first wins.

Imagine it for a moment—Ritz crackers suck the moisture out of your mouth, right? That difficulty is what makes the game fun.

Try putting about five crackers in your mouth per person as a guideline.

Of course, drinking water partway through is not allowed.

That said, please only try it within a safe and reasonable limit.

arm wrestling

Arm wrestling: A serious match where both passed out

Arm wrestling is simple yet a blast when you go all out.

Place your elbows on a parallel table, grip hands, and you’re ready.

At the signal, try to pin your opponent’s arm—that’s the game.

It needs no setup, so it’s perfect for spare moments at a drinking party.

If you’re playing mixed-gender matches, it can be fun to set rules like allowing women to use both hands.

It’s a deceptively deep game that often starts casually but ends up getting serious before you know it.

After the match, be sure to exchange words with each other regardless of the outcome.
