Q&A for How to Play True American

You do not have to use beer for the pawns, or even use alcohol to play the game. Instead of beer, choose a simple drink that you and your friends enjoy. Just make it a beverage that can be consumed safely over the course of the game. For non-alcoholic ideas, you can use juice or milk.

No, this is not typically one of the pawns, but if you and your friends want to play that way to speed the game up, then that is perfectly fine!

If there is one beer left and someone lands on a center space and takes it, then that person can choose to drink the entire beer on that turn. If that was the only pawn that player had left in their hands, they would have to wait until the next time they land on a center space to drink from the king. If a player does not know the answer to a quote, then that player cannot move forward on that turn. If there is more than one answer, then the player control at that time would decide whether or not to allow the alternate answer.

Sure. You can use whatever you want in True American. Just make sure to have one different drink for the middle

You have to drink every time you move from one of the three 'mini games'. I've also read a variation that if someone yells "all cans belong in the junk yard", you finish your beer and throw the can in the junk yard. Just be careful, being stuck without a beer causes you to lose the game. You can also drink whenever you want during the game.

You can definitely play this game without alcohol! Candy might be a bit difficult to manage because you will not land on the center space often enough to keep 1-3 pieces in your hands. It would probably work better with a gummy candy like taffy or gummy bears, so you can nibble at the pieces. But you can definitely play with beverages like milk or juice. Consider having chocolate milk or orange juice be the king, and then make the pawns glasses of plain milk or even water.

One, unless you complete a quote, answer a things in common, or do the 1, 2, 3 number action.

Perhaps money or cards (with a king card) as prizes and first place is who gets the king, second is who had the largest amount of cards and each place gets some kind of prize. If the winner gets the most cards and the king card then they get first and second place prizes or they can choose to give it to someone.

As many as you want, as long as you have enough room and space. It should typically be 4 or more but you can create teams of however many people you want, or leave them all on their own to fight depending on how much room you have!

Create a fifth path from the king for each additional player unless you have enough to have equal teams (if you have 3 teams of two aka six players you can make 3 paths from the king) and have double the alcohol (or whatever product) on each checkpoint.

You have to take a beer (pawn) from the line corresponding to the zone you landed in.
