Abstract
A game of checkers wherein the individual game pieces take the form of small drinking glasses. Each glass is filled with the same quantity of liquid, which may be soda pop or another similar beverage. When a player jumps his filled glass over one of the opponent's glasses he is permitted to drink the liquid from the opponent's jumped glass. The glasses are colored in contrasting colors to differentiate one player's glasses from the other player's glasses. Circular recesses are formed in the game board surface to hold the various glasses in place on the game board surface.
