Play 'shot checkers' or 'shot chess'. Its a board with shot glasses instead of pieces. I think it costs about £10.

Four Kings with International Drinking Rules is good fun. Can't find any rules for Four Kings on the internet though i'm affraid.

That whole "i've never.." drinking game. For example, "i've never drank alcohol" (crap example), if you HAVE done the thing in the statement (ie drank alcohol) you have a shot, and so on

Er a good one is you watch a film like beauty and the beast, and everyone has a word, e.g. 'beauty' and every time the word is mentioned in the film you drink a shot of vodka...its fun

Four Kings is good fun. I'll try to type out the rules as best I can remember.
Four Kings

King Leigh
King - Pour some of your drink into 'the pot', a large glass in the centre of the table. When the fourth king is drawn, that person must drink the whole pot, ending the game.
This is the worst thing ever if you draw the fourth king. Picture a giant pitcher full of beer, cider, wine, vodka, Amarula, Baileys and then having to down it all....not nice. However, it's great fun to watch somebody else do it!

Variation on King. Get large jug, fill with beer . Place glass (tumbler) into the jug. Everyone donates to the glass in the jug until the glass top is level with the beer in the jug. The person who makes the glass sink into the beer has to drink it. This gets better everytime as the drinks mix and you have arguments about whether you've done a proper pour or bumped the table.

Ummm, bit short this game, but get two dice, and whatever numbers you roll you drink that amount of shots. Not good when you get two sixes! If you don't drink your shots on that round, you have to do two double shots of deadly mixers i.e whisky and beer or vodka and red wine rather than say 12 shots of baileys! You cant mix shots i.e 6 vodka 6 whiskey. Has to be 12 or 10 or however many of one!
P.s can be deadly, a few of my friends passed out last time...

This is a good one:
Full Metal Jacket Fizz Buzz
A modification of Fizz Buzz inspired by the classic war film itself. It should be initiated in the following manner (bearing in mind the above!):
“Sir, I propose a contest of Full Metal Jacket Fizz Buzz sir! Sir, to my left/right sir! Sir one sir!”
Thereafter each member of the group takes it in turns (in the direction indicated) to shout the next number, with the following rules:
• Each sentence must be preceded and followed by “sir!”; hence the introduction.
• Instead of saying the number 5, any multiple of 5, or any number containing a 5 you must say: “Sir, if I could die for a word sir!”
• Instead of saying the number 7, any multiple of 7, or any number containing a 7 you must say: “Sir, that word would be PUNTANG sir!” In addition this changes the direction of the game.
• The above rules are also used in conjunction with one another. Eg the number 35 would be “Sir, if I could die for a word sir! Sir, that word would be PUNTANG sir!” and the direction of the game would change.
• When somebody messes up, then all club members should shout in unison: ”******** [bol lochs] private, I can’t hear you!” They must drink a standard penalty and then propose the next round of the game.
Extreme Full Metal Jacket Fizz Buzz
If you think that Full Metal Jacket Fizz Buzz is still too easy then you need to play the Extreme version! This is the same as the above with a few alterations:
• The initiation goes: “Sir, I propose a contest of Extreme Full Metal Jacket Fizz Buzz sir! Sir, to my left/right sir! Sir number sir!” You may start on any number.
• The rules regarding 5 and 7 are cumulative. Eg. 35 which has a 5 in it, is a multiple of 5 and is a multiple of 7 becomes: “Sir, if I could die for a word sir! Sir, if I could die for a word sir! Sir, that word would be PUNTANG sir!” and the direction of the game would change. Eg. 70 would become “Sir, if I could die for a word sir! Sir, that word would be PUNTANG sir! Sir, that word would be PUNTANG sir!” but the direction would be reversed twice and so stay the same.
• As long as somebody can tell exactly which number everybody should be on, then any errors are banked and the game continues until nobody has a clue what is going on… then everybody drinks all their penalties.
All drinking games work best if you have drinking rules for the evening e.g. words that are forbiden etc. For waterpolo socials the rules we use are as follows
No profanities
No pointing
The word two is forbiden (use an alternative word e.g. couple)
Hands are "Appendages"
Drink only with the left hand with one digit erect
The word drink is forbidden (drinking games for example are consumption contests)
A standard penalty is two fingers worth of drink if you run out of alcohol you have to bank your penalty and consume from your next drink.

Drinking Dominoes
*Be warned - may have drastic side effects*
Get a set of standard dominoes. Deal them equally among all players. Person with double six goes first and chooses direction of play. Now, play as you would any normal game of dominoes, BUT, when placing your domino, the number at the other end - ie not the number you just matched to play your domino - is how many "drinks" you have to delegate.
So say you have to play a three, the only three you have has a six on the other side. You can nominate one person to have all six, or you can give one shot to six people... etc etc. The fun part about this is that you can make allies, enemies, or choose to get some unsuspecting fool horribly drunk by continuously nominating them.
Blank dominoes get to make a rule. Some of the best rules: No swearing, no using of peoples names, no saying the word "drink" (which is particularly fun because people instinctively yell "Drink!" when someone breaks one of the other rules
) and so on...
This can be played with shots, or whatever it is you're drinking. In which case shots are subsituted with big sips. Bring alot of booze mind you, it gets used pretty quick.
This is guarenteed to be more than just an ice breaker. You'll have people losing all inhibition in a few quick games.
But be warned, I played a game of one on one, drank 6 beers and two bottles of cheap wine all in under 30 minutes and proceeded to wrap my car around a tree on the way to where I have yet to figure out

^^^ harder than it sounds! I've seen blokes spew into a glass, and drink it so they can continue playing. Shot on the minute, every minute for 100 minutes.

Ring of Fire -
Get a deck of cards, and put them in a ring around a pint class. People take it in turns to draw a card. Each card means something different.
Two - Red, you have to drink "two fingers" worth of your drink (ie. the amount covered when you put two of your fingers side by side on the glass). Black, you give somebody else two fingers worth.
Three, Four - Same as Two except that is is 3 or 4 fingers.
Five - a "truth" card - they ask you a question and you HAVE to answer honestly
Six - Everybody has to put their thumb on the floor - the last person to do it has to drink
Seven - Nominate somebody to down their drink
Eight - You have to down your drink
Nine - Take a shot
Ten - the toilet card. Nobody is allowed to go to the toilet unless they have a toilet card. They can "buy" one off somebody else by performing whatever forfeit the other person wants them to. Last night my friend Sam had to peform a seagull orgasm which was the most hilarious thing ever.
Jack - Games Master - you get to make up rules which are in effect for the rest of the game, and if broken, that person has to drink. Examples - Not allowed to use people's names, not allowed to speak any work beginning with "d" (so not drink, drunk, etc), all words beginning with "f" replaced with the word "f**k" - very very confusing. Also physical ones like you can only have one foot on the floor at any one time, and you must always drink with your left hand.
Queen - the dare card!! Dare people to do stuff.
King - pour some of your drink into the glass in the middle. When the last King is drawn, they have to drink it.
It sounds a bit complicated, but basically write out the rules on a piece of paper and you can refer to it as you get drunker. Plus, trust me, it gets you drunk.
Then you could play "I have never" which is a HILARIOUS game in which you find out all sorts of things about your friends. Truly classic. And it's much better when people are a bit drunk so lose their inhibitions about admitting to stuff.
