If you're a true new girl fan you know about True American, here's how to play:
Set up the castle: The castle is pretty simple; it is made up of beer cans and a bottle of liquor in the center. Line up the beers in four lines coming outward from the bottle of liquor.
Set up the zones: There are 4 zones, set up a trail of chairs, cushions, and tables through each zone to give you something to walk on, as the floor is lava. The castle should be in the middle of the zones. The four paths should reach the castle
Picking teams: Countdown from 3, everyone holds up a number against their foreheads and anyone who is holding up the same number as you is on your teams. If someone isn’t matched then those two players can team up.
To start the game: Start with every player shot-gunning a beer, then one player chants “one, two, three, four, JFK” and everyone responds “FDR” then everyone must run to the castle, grab a beer and pick the nearest object to stand on. The winner of the shot-gunning contest gets the first move, then the order continues around in a clockwise rotation.
Making moves: When it is your turn you will move one space and then you will pick one of the three games, the winner of the game will move accordingly and then it is the next player’s turn. There are 3 different ways to get closer to the castle
- Guessing something in common: A player names two things that have something in common and the other player yells out something that they have in common. For example, in one episode a player yells “Abe Lincoln, George Washington” and “cherry tree” is the answer. The player to guess cherry tree gets to drink and move three spaces.
- Count up: A player must count “One, two, three, four” and on four all players put a number up to their head. I’m not sure how this leads to a player moving but I would play whichever player is not matched with someone is allowed to move one space.
- A quote: The player begins a quote and all the others must complete the quote. Whoever completes it first, gets to drink and move two spaces.
Winning: Continue to play until all the beers have been removed and all that is left is the “king.” Once one player reaches the “king” by being in a center space and sips from the bottle, then this player becomes the winner of true American!
Losing: If you are caught without a beer or if you step in the lava you lose and are out of the game. To get back into the game you have to shotgun a beer on a space that the other players decide.
Random Rules:
-You can only get a beer if you are on one of the four center spaces
-If you are playing with Clinton rules then this includes stripping if you fail at one of the three mini-games.
-Any player may yell “JFK” at any time in which everyone must yell “FDR” and finish their beer
The game is confusing but super fun! Here is also a video explaining it a little more:
