THUMPER

EACH PLAYER, WITH A DRINK AT THEIR SIDE, PICKS SOME
SIGN MADE WITH THEIR HANDS. WHILE SLAPPING THEIR
KNEES, ONE PERSON BEGINS BY MAKING HIS AND THEN
ANOTHER PLAYER'S SIGN. THAT PERSON MUST MAKE HIS
SIGN AND SOMEONE ELSE'S AND SO ON.
IF SOMEONE MISSES OR MAKES A MISTAKE, THE OTHER PLAYERS
POINT WITH THEIR ELBOWS AND THE PLAYER POINTED AT MUST
TAKE A DRINK.
