One Fat Hen (also called One Red Hen) is a drinking game. It is based on the difficulty people often have in repeating exactly what the leader says, and the amusing possibilities when they get it wrong.
[edit] Gameplay
The normal mode of play is that the leader recites the first line of the game and then all the players take it in turns to First - Sip the drink; Second - repeat the line; and Third - take another sip; if anyone makes a mistake, he or she must take a drink (or pay a forfeit) and ask the Leader to repeat. They then repeat the turn (Sip-Repeat-Sip). When everyone has got it right, the leader starts again, and adds the second line. Each player must now say the first and second lines, and so on, like this:
- Leader - *sip* One fat hen! *sip*
- Player 1 - *sip* One fat hen! *sip*
- Player 2 - *sip* One hat fen! (takes a drink, and must repeat the line) *sip* One fat hen! *sip*
- Player 3 - *sip* One fat hen! *sip*
- Leader - *sip* One fat hen, a couple of ducks *sip*
- Player 1 - *sip* One fat hen, a couple of ducks *sip*
- Player 2 - *sip* One fat hen, two ducks (takes another drink, and starts again)
- Player 3 - *sip* One fat hen, a couple of ducks *sip*
...and so on, with increasing mirth.
