Irish Poker

Setup

Full Deck of cards, more than two people to play, and lots of beer

Rules to drink by

each person gets 4 cards face down and then in the middle of everyone there will be what they call “ride the bus” which has 4 cards and then 4 more in front of those and one on each end all face down but you get back to those later. The first player calls either red or black and then flips his first card, if you get it right, you get to give away 5 seconds for someone to drink, bhut if u get it wrong, you must drink 5 seconds, (your four cards are worth 5-10-15-and then 20 seconds), then everyone goes around and guesses their first card, when it gets back to the first person they have to call whether there second card is either Higher, or Lower than their first one, and same goes, if theyre right they get to give away 10 seconds and if theyre wrong they have to drink 10 seconds. It goes around and the third card is if they think it will be Inbetween their first two cards or outside of them, that card is worth 15 seconds and the last card is calling the suit (clubs,…) and that is worth 20 seconds. after everyone goes, you ride the bus in the middle, someone calls one side give, and one side take adn you flip over the cards and if you have one on the give side you have to give away 5,10,15,20 seconds,and if you have one that matches on the take side you have to drink. the last two cards that are om the top sides are full beers and one is give and one is take.
