circle of death

Setup

deck of cards. pitcher. lots of beer

Rules to drink by

place an empty pitcher in the middle of the table.place cards (excluding jokers) upside down in one circle around pitcher. after that place more cards around the previous level of cards and so on and so on until all cards have been placed. the person who paid the most for the beer goes first and play always goes clockwise. here is the card list and what you must do.

first you need to know all red cards are pass cards and black are your ass (2-7) i.e. 2black-you drink two seconds of GOOD CHUGGING NOT LITTLE GIRL SIPS.2red pass two seconds.

2- two seconds
3- three seconds
4- four seconds
5- five seconds
6- six seconds
7- seven seconds
the following cards dont follow the red pass black drink rule.

8- interrogate.
person who got that card starts. player starts by looking at any other player (works best if you look them in the eyes)and begins by asking a question. the player who received the question does the same thing to any other player, even the same player that asked the question to start out with (play doesnt have to go clockwise, you just have to look at any other player). players cant answer the question, hesitate for any amount of time, and cant repeat any previous questions. questions cant be words or sentences formed into a question i.e. purple? ants are small? the end? and so on. player who messes up first drinks till the person who picked the card says stop.remember only questions.

9- bust-a-rhyme.
player who gets the card start by giving a sentence. play continues clockwise (always clockwise).the next player continues by forming another sentence that rhymes with the previous sentence.i.e. 1stplayer says “i jumped over a log” 2ndplayer says “in the fog” 3rdplayer says “with my dog” and so on until someone hesitates or repeats a rhyming word. the player who messes up first drinks till the person who picked the card says stop.

10- catagories.
im sure you’ve all played a version of this at one time or another.the player who picked the card starts off by choosing a catagory i.e. cars, magazines, types of beer, stores at the mall so on and so on. play as usual goes clockwise next player actually starts naming what things in the first players catagory.i.e. first player says types of beer next player says “budweiser” next player says “coors” next player says “corona” if you happen to get all the way back to the first person (the one who actually picked the card) he must also name something in that catagory. as usual first person who messes up, hesitates, or repeats must drink till the person who picked the card says stop.

jack- make a rule.
this is probably one of my favorite cards. the lucky person who picks this card gets to make a rule that all other players (excluding the player who picked the card) must follow. here are some of my most favorite rules feel free to use them.or make your own up.

no cursing for the rest of the game. sounds alot easier then it is believe me.
before you put your beer down you must make a barnyard animal sound.
cant say drink,drank,or drunk for rest of game.

there is also no tattle telling if you tell on someone who broke a rule you too must drink as much as they do. only the person who made the rule can “bust” players. remember player who made the rule doesnt have to follow his own rule.

queen- beer queer.
there are actually two ways that me and my friends like to play this card. you can choose which ever one suits you and yours.
rule#1: player who picks this card is now dubbed the beer queer and must get replacement beers for those who need a fresh beer (no bitching) this player is the beer queer until the next queen is picked then beer queer status switches to that player. if the original player picks another queen that player gets to designate another player to be the new beer queer.
rule#2: if the player who picks this card picks a red queen the “queer” to the right of that player must drink till the player who picked the card says stop. if the player who picks this card picks a black queen the “queer” to the left must drink till the player who picked the card says stop.

king- death card
another one of my favorite cards. ok here goes, remember that pitcher you put in the middle of the cards at the begining of the game, time to use it and use it good. the first person who picks a king pours AS MUCH of whatever they are drinking into the pitcher. the player who picks the next king does the same with whatever they are drinking.the next does the same. now for the fun, the person to pick the last king must drink all of WHATEVER is in the pitcher. play cannot continue until the pitcher is empty. remember while you are pouring that you might pick the last king and have to drink all of what you are pouring or you might not. kinda sucks huh.also keep in mind that whatever is in there doesnt always match especially if girls are playing there could be smirnoff,beer,wine,wine coolers,or anything that might be at the table.it also sucks if everyone is drinking different types of beer.

ace- waterfall
ok this ones kind of hard to describe. ok all the players at the table stand up. the player who picked the card makes a toast to whatever they want.(you dont really have to do the toast thing its just sounds good since everyone is drinking) ok now everyone starts to drink at the same time and no one can stop till the person to his left stops. so the person who picked the card stops first (going clockwise as usual) the next player can keep drinking or can stop and so on and so on.so basically if you are sitting to the right of someone who picks an ace your screwed especially if there are alot of players.

other rules:
1. if the person who originally picked the card messes up then the person that said something before him tells that person when to stop drinking.i.e. if in the interrogate game someone asks the person who picked the card a question and they mess up the person to ask the question tell that player when to stop.
2. remember that payback is a bitch believe me it is. so be cautious when you are telling someone when to stop.
