APT / Apartment: how to play
Stack hands. Count from the bottom while the bottom hand slaps up. Someone calls a floor. That hand’s person is out this round.
Players
3 or more.
What you need
Hands in one pile. No glasses. No dice.
Setup
Somebody says “apateu”. Everybody puts one hand in. Short table? Use both. Stack ’em.
How to play
- Count from the bottom: 1, 2, 3…
- After you count a hand, that bottom one slaps to the top. The count keeps walking.
- Somebody calls a floor.
Example round
Five hands in the pile. Somebody calls “8”. You count till 8. That hand’s owner is out this round.
When the round ends
The person whose hand sits on the called number is out this round.
Common mistake
Calling a floor you can’t count to, or yanking a hand out early. Sit still.
No-alcohol version
Play exactly the same rules with water, soda, tea or no drinks at all. When someone is out this round, they simply sit out, start the next round, or take a light forfeit the table agreed on beforehand — such as choosing the next game or spinning the wheel.
Play responsibly
Soju Playland is for adults. If you choose to drink, you must be of legal drinking age where you are (for example 19 in South Korea and 21 in the United States) — and the site itself is for ages 18 and up. Drinking is never part of the rules: nobody has to drink, a pass is always fine, and water or soda works for every game. Never pressure anyone to drink, never treat these games as a drinking contest, and never drink and drive.
