Change Game

Needed: A cup, or any container you can easily hold; 10 coins
and a marker

The Bet: It's a game to see who will pick up the bill or buy a
round of drinks. The last person who has a coin with their initials
facing up…wins!

The How: 1. You both divide the 10 coins into 2 stacks of 5: One stack of 5 coins for
your friend and one stack of 5 coins for you.

2. Tell your friend to write his/her initials on one side of the five coins with the marker,
and you will do the same.

3. You nonchalantly initial one coin on both sides.

4. The game begins. You place all the coins in a cup and dump them out.

5. Every coin that DOES NOT have an initial facing up is removed.

6. Place the coins with an initial facing up back into the cup to swish around and then
toss them onto the table again removing the coins without initials.

7. Keep the routine up until your coin with your initials on each side is the last coin
standing.

8. You can slyly switch the double-initialed coin with one of the single-initialed coins
and let your friend inspect it if they like.

9. Accept your winnings you clever gamesman. Remember, you said in the rules to sign
it on one side – which you did. …But you also signed it on the other side; which is one
side too.
