A Guide to... "Yeeha!"
"Yeeha!" is a unique drinking game where players make signals to each other and failure in responding correctly to these signals results in a penalty of, yep you guessed it.. DRINKING! (actual object is to get shit-faced but the signals help to disguise that fact)

- First of all, a reasonably sized group of people is required and must be seated in a circlular fashion, this is to ensure all players are in view of one another. (It does tend to help the proceedings of Yeeha! if these individuals are reknowned for being 'Piss Heads')

- A Chairperson must then be assigned to govern outcomes and have final say in breach of rules, penalties, etc. This person must obviously be an experienced "Yeeha!" player and not be a dull/boring individual.

- Once all players are seated, they are to have at least one drink in front of themselves (preferably a full pint). Please note: all players are responsible for the purchasing of their own drinks. Exceptions will include CRFC bar while a lock-in is in progress.

- Rules and standard penalties shall then be explained by the Chairperson, before play begins.



Rules & Signals:

Hand signals synchronized with calls are the key to 'Yeeha!'.
- The main call is obviously 'Yeeha!'. This call must be accompanied by a hand signal in the direction of either left or right. This then passes to the person sitting next to you on that side. 'Yeeha!' is the standard call and keeps the game flowing. 'Yeeha!' will also start of a round of play.

Please note: All calls are to be screamed in typical cowboy fashion. NEVER question this fact!

- Ho Down! is the next call. This accompanied by the gesture (similar to that of a trucker sounding his horn) will reverse play. The hand used to make this signal must be that corresponding to the flow of play, i.e if play is going from left to right, the right hand must be used.

These are the two standard calls of 'Yeeha!' and once players have mastered these, extra calls will be added in. (Mastering these calls rarely happens due to the immense amount of alcohol being consumed)

The next two calls added are impossible to type but for convenience sake lets call them 'neighing' and 'spitting'.

- 'Neighing'.. yep like a horse accompanied by standing up and making a signal similar to pulling on the reigns of a horse results in skipping the next player after you, whichever way play is flowing.

- 'Spitting'.. (like cowboys spitting tobacco) accompanied by standing up and making a 'spitting' gesture results in play being reversed and the next player being skipped. (players are requested to resist the urge of actually spitting on other players, it's just basic manners)

This is usually more than enough for most players as by the time everyone has even slighty mastered these, let alone 'Yeeha!' or 'Ho-Down!', they are usually well on the way to shit-faced glory. If however players are finding things too easy (yea right), further calls can be added in. Caution: These calls are generally for experienced players' use.

These calls are 'Hay-Barn' and 'Cow-Girl'.

- Cow-Girl accompanied by standing up and the grabbing of the breasts (own breasts) will skip the next two players in the direction of play flow. Please note: Breasts can belong to males or females.. (I mean this is associated with rugby players). Also 'Cow-Girl' is the only call where all players are required to speak in a gayed up 'Cow-Girl' voice.

- Hay-Barn accompanied by standing up and putting the hands on the head making the shape of a tent results in play being reversed and the next two players being skipped.

Again this should be more than enough to attempt but to make things interesting there are two further calls:

- 'Shotgun' accompanied by a shotgun shooting action will skip play to the corresponding player the 'shotgun' is pointed at at the otherside of the playing circle. Play shall continue in the same direction.

- 'Laser': similar to 'Sh
