Rubber ducks brawling in a pub: the landlord serves at the bar while a pint smashes on the sticky carpet

Watch it in action

Lob pints. Dodge darts. Stay upright.

Grab pints off the floor, or queue at the bar for the landlord to pour you one, then hurl them at the other ducks. Every hit gets them drunker, and the drunker they are the more their steering wobbles. At 100% they're out for the round. Last duck standing wins.

Bring your mates

Up to six players, each on their own phone. Short on mates? The regulars, Old Pete, Barfly Dave, Reg and Maureen, fill the empty seats so there are always at least four ducks.

Dash and barge

Dash to dodge an incoming pint, or dash straight into a duck to send them flying and knock their pint loose.

Made for phones

Drag on the left to move, drag or tap on the right to throw. Lose signal or switch apps and your seat is held, so you drop straight back into the game.

The pub fights back

  • The landlord pours for one duck at a time. Stand at the bar and wait your turn, but you're a sitting duck while you do.
  • Have a go on the fruit machine: a free pint, a triple-throw round, pork scratchings, a glass of water… or it eats the pint you're holding.
  • Put a song on the jukebox. A disco speeds everyone up, a slow dance slows everyone but you, or it blows a fuse and the lights go out.
  • Big Ron plays darts in the corner. When he raises his dart, don't be standing in the way.
  • Smashed pints leave slippy beer puddles, and the sticky carpet slows you right down.
  • Last Orders: pints everywhere, and everyone gets steadily sloshed.

A night at the pub

A night is four brawl rounds (the host can pick three or five), with a mini-game between each one. Everyone plays at once, and the winner starts the next brawl with a bonus: an Iron Liver or a full pair of hands. The final round is worth double, and the end of the night hands out awards like Sharpshooter, The Bouncer and The Sponge.
