Setup 
Gather players and divide them into teams of two or more. Set up one long table per team with space either side of them to run around (preferably on soft ground or snow). Provide each team with two steins and ensure plenty of beer is available for easily accessible. The table must be flat with no edges so a stein glass can slide on and off with no issues. Cover the table in water or ice to make it slippy and test that a stein will slide right the way down.
Aim of the Game 
Finish all of your teams drinks quicker than any other team to win.
How to Play 
The game begins on the count of 3, 2, 1. The first player on the team must fill their stein to the brim with beer and run to the other end of the table where the second player slides it to them.
If the player catches it, they must drink it as quick as they can to allow the next player to go.
If the slide doesn’t slide over the edge of the table, the slider needs to collect and slide it again.
If the player drops it, the glass has to be refilled by that same player and slid again.
Once the stein has been drank, the player must tip it upside down and return back to their team as quickly as possible.
As soon as the stein has been finished by the first player, the second player can then start to pour their drink.
This process continues in a loop until all players have consumed two steins each.
The quickest team wins and become the champions of Stein Run.
The losers are given shots of ice cold Jägermeister.
Rules 
- When drinking, the player must stay stood at the far end of the table.
- A new drink can only be poured once the previous stein has been finished.
- The catcher of the stein cannot grab the filled stein from the table, it must slide off and be caught.
- Badly filled steins or big spills cause for a refill of the drink.
