99

Setup

LOTS O BEER
DECK OF CARDS
2 – 6 PEOPLE

Rules to drink by

The dealer deals everyone 4 cards, the remaining deck is laid on the table.

The person to the left of the dealer starts by laying down a card and that starts the initial count (TIP: Get rid of cards worth the most first) Ex – if an 8 were laid down the count would be at 8. After laying down a card you must pick one up from the deck, you should alway have 4 cards this way. If you fail to pick up a card before the next player picks up a card you may not pick up a 4th card and you must finish the game with fewer cards. The next person lays down a card that adds to the count, so if they played a J the count would be 18 and so on. The count may only go to 99. Once the count is at 99 you may only lay down cards that will not make the count go over 99. If you can not play you are out of the hand and last in line for the water fall.

Waterfall – Winner drinks until he/she wants to stop, once winner stops second place may stop or continue drinking until he/she feels like stopping, then third place . . . . . . . . . .
