OBJECT:
Not really a winner to this game, the point is to get your friends drunk and have a good time.
SETUP:
Gather some people, the more the merrier as always.
The oldest left handed person at the table begins as the dealer. The amount of drinks can be determined as seconds or gulps.
GAMEPLAY:
The person across from the dealer starts the guessing. There are 5 rounds in one session and they go as follows:
ROUND 1: Smoke or Fire
The player guesses whether the card will be Red or Black. The dealer flips the card and shows it to the crowd. If they get it right, they give 2 drinks to someone of their choice. If wrong, they take 2 drinks.
ROUND 2: Lower or Higher
The same player guesses whether the next card will be lower or higher than the previously flipped card. If the player gets it right they give 4 drinks, wrong they take 4. If it is the SAME card, they drink 8 drinks.
ROUND 3: Outside or Between
Another guess takes place where the player chooses whether they think the next card will be in between the first two cards or outside of them. If they guess correct they choose someone to drink 6, incorrect they drink 6. If it is the SAME card as one of the previous 2, they have to drink 12.
ROUND 4: Present or Unseen
The last guess…the player must guess whether the suit coming up will be the same from that of one of the previous 3 cards or different. If they guess correctly he/she gives 8 drinks, incorrect takes 8.
ROUND 5: The Great 8
The dealer lays out 8 cards face down in 2 columns of 4 rows. The two cards on top are worth 2 drinks, second row of two cards is worth 4, then 6, then 8. The left side of the cards is take and right is SOCIAL. The dealer starts out by flipping the two cards on the top row. If a card matches one of the previous 4 in the take column they drink 2 drinks, if it matches in the SOCIAL everyone else drinks 2. This continues on down the rows. IF you match the same card twice in the great 8 you have to finish your drink or EVERYONE finishes theirs if it is in the social column.
BASICALLY:
Player guesses throughout the rounds and the drinking amount starts out at 2 and increases by 2 until it reaches 8 in round 4. If, in rounds 2 and 3, it is the same card the amount you would normally take/give is doubled and you must take it. In the great 8 if anything matches someone will drink. If the same card shows up twice in the 8 that column must finish their drinks off. When one player is done this continues to the next person, if you can handle it.
