 Gigi, if I can play hammerschlagen with you at some point in my life I will die a happy man. 


Also, you will lose 🫂🧡 
 Wow, I forgot this game existed 
 You're drinking the right beer, wrong nail and hammer type 
 Per the algo, the proper hammer for the game of Hammerschlagen is a cross-peen or blacksmith's hammer with a wedge-shaped end that is at least 2.5 pounds.  We always used masonry nails but I'm not a purist on that part. Hitting with the point end is non-negotiable  
 Ain’t my house, brother. But I appreciate you know the right beer 🫡🫂 
 this was a classic between the clemson managers/trainers when I was there 
 Did you get that hammer from Menards? Also, nice Jordy coozie 
 Stump, classic game, good times around the Kansas bonfire 
 What a throwback

 Talk about getting hammered! 
 That’s a great game until someone’s finger gets crushed or the beer runs out. Whatever comes first, that’s how our games ended. Cheers 🍻 
 I didn’t even know about this game.
hammerschlagen sounds fun! Enjoy 
 we call it stump 
 It is called HAMMERSCHLAGEN 
 Your both wrong and it's called Nageln. https://media.tenor.com/hByccUUrxKcAAAAM/hammer-hit-nail.gif  
 Also, you're using the wrong hammer. It's usually played with the thin end. https://image.nostr.build/3d87aeba8d86bc81ea55ec326841682b2b863d0da1840425cf61c5b39ebfbedd.jpg 
 Seems like you alread prepared yourself 😸 
 ow yes, that's awesome! we play it so that the winner is the last nail standing (loser the first nail in the tree). The nail is 'gone' if you can not hear it when you rub the hammer over it.  Everybody gets a nail and one hit/round. You have to start with the hammer next to your own nail, but you can hit any nail you want.  The same nail cant be hit 2times in a row, if you do hit the same nail as the person before you, you lose your next turn. Sometimes we add an extra rule if the night falls: if you make a spark everybode has to move one place to the left. Thats fun if you play with a couple people.  
 you guys play different? I'm curious. 😃 
 Had to look that one up.  Google says it translates as 'drunk hammering,' so I'm in. 
 I used to work as a ski instructor. We hammered quite a bit 😂 
 Gotta have a good schlagen for sure ! 
 love this game. used to play at a friend's house. although we used blacksmith nails.
