It’s stupid as hell. It’s designed to hurt. What you do is you plant your fist on a table (knuckles down) then somebody launches a coin into your knuckles with the intent of making you bleed. When the coin initially hits you it hurts a bit (like a quick stab from a pen) then there is a small mark on your knuckle where your skin used to be, then about a min later you start bleeding. The only reason I did it today was to see what it was like. Oh and I was bored too.
Just did a quick google search. Apparently it’s called ‘Bloody knuckles’
Here’s a pretty brutal version, I didn’t get it that bad (mine was only about cm long and bled for about mins).
The last person to bleed. The actual aim of the game is:
Bloody knuckles is a game in which two players use a coin (usually a quarter) that is spun around a flat surface (usually a table). The players continue to keep it spinning by flicking it with their fingers. The other player must touch it without causing it to stop spinning and fall on the heads or tails side. Then the person who spun the coin first tries to touch it next. This turn taking continues until the coin falls. Whichever player’s touch causes the spinning coin to stop and fall down is considered the loser, and they must put their knuckles on the playing surface. Then, the winner puts their thumb on the coin, and forcefully pushes it across the table onto the loser’s exposed knuckles. The game is played until someone’s knuckles are bleeding or suddenly they quit due to excessive pain.
But we only launched it at each other without the spinning.
