Groups would crowd around a log, taking turns knocking their nail flush into the wood with a hammer. This closeness has Martin convinced that the two are linked. He pins the creation of Stump on one particular individual—who he refused to name—who attempted to monetize Hammer-Schlagen by switching around the gameplay, adding in hammer tricks.

Two participants sit facing each other on a bench and take turns slapping each other until one falls off. The one who stays up is the winner.
I told you it was ridiculous. I learned of this game from a friend who experienced it at the biggest Oktoberfest celebration in Massachusetts. We can thank the Irish Vikings for this one, I believe. Keg rolling and especially keg bowling are popular Oktoberfest games at local brewery-hosted Oktoberfest celebrations for the most part.
Or if you happen to live in a home brewing, beer-loving household like I do. Participants roll a partially-filled keg down a designated length of grass and the first one to the finish line wins.
Keg rolling is great for Oktoberfest games because it can be made into an individual race or turned into a fun relay to get everyone involved. Participants can be made to wear blindfolds, use just one hand to roll it, or try to carry a beer in the other hand without spilling it. Or whatever other sadistic guidelines can be conceived! Check out keg rolling here. As the name suggests, keg throwing is, simply, tossing a keg.
Kegs, even when empty, are pretty heavy. And though 30 pounds may not sound like much, tossing one is not easy! Two or more competitors see how far they can throw a keg. The one who throws it the farthest is the winner. This is always played away from all cars, houses, people, pets, children, and buffet tables. To give you an idea of how much space they require, typical keg tossing championship distances range from about feet men and feet women.
See a video of keg tossing here. Stein racing is one of the easier Oktoberfest games to execute and definitely brings an elementary school field day vibe to any bierfest or Oktoberfest party. Participants have to run a designated length and back while carrying a liter stein full of beer without spilling.
The person or team who ends the race with the most beer in their mug wins! Beer stein racing can be done with a single stein per person, can be turned into a relay, or even done with multiple mugs at once. My personal stein-carrying goals: Matthias Volkl and his stein-carrying world record! These guys even added obstacles! Each participant is given a large Bavarian soft pretzel. The winner is determined by who finishes their pretzel first.
A chosen emcee asks Oktoberfest trivia questions to those participating. The person who answers each correctly first wins that round — everyone else drinks. There are no losers here! As a huge knowledge nerd, I love trivia games — especially when I can drink great German beer while learning fun Oktoberfest facts. Things like Drinking excessively Swinging a hammer while drinking excessively Throwing hammers while drinking excessively Things to try not to do: Hit yourself in the head with your hammer Get hit in the head by someone else's hammer Point at someones nail - hard to do, even harder to do when drunk I have seen fingers almost lost Generally smash or hit any body part with your hammer.
Now thats out of the way. Items you need: Large stump or log you want a log thats about knee height or slightly higher Hammer with a grip either painted on or rubber Nails about 4 or 5 inches long Drinks lots Brave drunk people friends Possible head protection From throwing hammers.
How to execute: You must earn swings of the hammer by flipping your hammer and catching it. A multiplier flip: 1x flip: Flip the hammer in front of you. Did you make this project? Share it with us!

It is generally understood that people will claim the nail directly in front of them, though this does not necessarily have to be the case.
Each player must have a beer can, bottle, cup, or other suitable container containing beer on his or her person defined as being supported entirely by said person and their clothing, not by any other objects at all times.
The only exception to this rule is during Home Improvement see below , when a player can legally put his or her beer down until Home Improvement is completed. It is general practice to use the claw of the hammer to open your beer, even if this means disrupting the course of play. Each player, in turn, shall toss the hammer such that it makes at least one full degree rotation before he touches it again.
The player shall not be allowed more than one toss per turn for any reason unless it is part of a Trick — see Rule 2a. The standard toss is a back flip, such that the hammer flips claw first. However, all non-standard tosses are acceptable and encouraged, provided the toss does not violate Rules 1 or 2.
Click here for a list of Tricks and Trick Ideas. If the Trick includes a double toss for example Under the Leg to Around the Back it must remain a continuous motion and should not be an attempt to gain better control after a sub-par first toss. Attempting Tricks is considered to add general excitement to the game, and if successful, carries with it the potential for increased penalties for opponents see Rule 3. If any player sees sparks resulting from the hammer striking a nail, it is a Social.
Every player must take a sip from his own beer. If a player drops the hammer during the toss, it is considered a Spazz and the player loses his turn. The player must take a sip from his own beer. If a player drops the hammer during the toss, and the hammer comes to rest directly on top of the stump, the person in the direction the handle of the hammer is pointing must chug his entire beer.
The toss is still considered a Spazz, and the player who tossed must take a sip from his own beer. The player can take as long as he likes to fix the nail to his satisfaction, though his efforts are subject to comment by the other players. It is considered honorable to ensure that the nail is straight and in a position to be hit cleanly.
