Hurricane Party
A Key West Drinking Game
Hurricane Party is a game that chronicles having a wild time in Key West. We came up with the concept after putting in years of research, night after night, on and off Duval Street. Going from bar to bar to bar to bar (and repeat) we put together this road map which showcases what a typical night out at the end of the road in the Florida Keys will often look like.
From Happy Hour to After Hours and everything in between, Hurricane Party is the journey of having one of those nights that nobody would forget if anybody could remember.
Game Rules
To Start, everyone grab or scavenge a game piece, place it at Home. Find a suitable cup of uncertainty and place it in its designated spot in the center of the board. All players roll the die once. High roll is the King (or Queen) Conch. The Conch Goes First, sets any ground rules at beginning and is the final judge on any disputes. The low roll is considered the “Key Worst” and can be told to drink at any time by any of the other players. The winner of each game becomes the Conch. The last player left on the board becomes the Key Worst and must Drink the Cup of uncertainty.
Players take turns rolling the dice and moving their pieces across the board clockwise. Keep going around the board until landing exactly on Home. If you don’t or can’t complete a square, take a drink and you lose your next roll. Keep going until there is only one player left. If you roll at any time and the die goes off the board take a drink because you are now the Key Worst and lose that turn. If at any time during play the Conch becomes the Key Worst, whoever is the Key Worst is elevated to the conch.
