Cirlce of Friends

Setup

Rules to drink by

Set Up and Game Play

Before you start you will need a normal deck of 52 cards, enough beer for everyone, and some friends. Everyone that is playing then gathers around a table, the cards are then suffled and placed face down in a circle around a can of beer called the Beer of Friends (BOF). Play begins when the first player draws a card. After the player follows the rule the card requires, he/she then places the card onto the BOF with two corners hanging off. If the card does not stay on the can the player must take a drink and try again until it does stay. If a player knocks off ANY of the other cards already on the BOF he/she must finish his/her beer. The game continues until all cards are drawn. After the last card is drawn and the appropriate rule followed, the Beer of Friends is then opened and everyone takes a drink. To make the game last longer you may add cards that are knocked off the BOF back into the cicle, or use more than one deck of cards.

Ten
Category – The drawer chooses a Category and an example and everyone in turn says another example. Continues around the circle until someone repeats something or takes too long and must take a drink. Example, the player who draws the card says “Beer” as the category and then says “Bud Light” as the his/her example.
