What is Table Race?
Table Race is musical chairs, without moving the furniture. There's always one chair too few. When the cue fires, tap SIT as fast as you can — whoever ends up without a seat is out.
Round after round, the table shrinks until only one player is left. They're safe. Everyone else drinks.
