Here's another cool game that's fairly easy to learn. For this one you need the ACES, FACE CARDS, TWO's, and TEN's from a deck of cards(2 decks for many players), an empty cup, and some willing participants with beverages. *G* (Word of advice, it's best if you all are drinking the same thing for this game. You'll see why in a minute!)
To play, everyone sits around the empty cup which is placed in the middle. The shuffled cards are then scattered around the cup FACE DOWN. Each player in turn will flip over a card. The cards have the following meanings:
ACE~ Social drink =o)
QUEEN~ Person to the right of the active player takes one drink.
JACK~ Person to the left of the active player takes one drink.
2's and 10's~ These are "category cards"..meaning the active player thinks of a category and then names something from it. For example..he/she might pick "the Luchadores" and say "Super Calo". After her, everyone in turn must name a Luchadore until someone can't. That person gets to enjoy a hearty drink of his/her beverage. =o) The game continues then with the next player flipping a card...and so on.
KING~ The first 3 players to flip over a King get off easy..*L* All they have to do is add as much of their beverage as they wish to the empty cup or "King's Cup" in the center. The unlucky player who flips over the final KING gets to drink the entire contents of the "King's Cup". After this phenonmenon..*G* the cards are reshuffled and the game starts over.
Now you see why it's best for everyone to drink the same thing. *L* If not, the King's Cup could contain a NASTY mixture!
~Example game~
Players: Chick, Babe, Hall, Nash, DDP, and Sting
The game starts as the group settles around the empty cup and the cards are
shuffled, face down around it. DDP flips over the first card..and ACE. "Social!"
the group says in unison, raising their glasses in toast and taking a drink. Sting
flips next and turns over a 10. After thinking a minute, he says "Past World Heavyweight
Champions.." and says "Me!" Everyone laughs and Chick says "Flair!Wooooooo!"
Grinning evilly, Babe says "Hogan!" as there is a collective groan. Hall can't seem
to think of one..(shock!) and has to take a drink. The game starts up where it
left off with Chick turning over a card. It's a JACK..so Babe who is sitting on her
left..takes a drink. She then flips a card..a QUEEN..turns to Chick on her right
and says, "You're turn!" Hall flips a card and turns up a KING. (He does get lucky
sometimes! *L*) He then pours some of his drink into the "King's Cup" in the middle.
Nash flips a KING also and does the same. The game continues around and guess who
turns over the fourth KING?! (Guess Hall's luck ran out! *L*) Hall has to drink the
whole "King's Cup." When he's finished the cards are reshuffled and the game begins
again.
Another word of advice.. This game can be quite killer so we recommend beer or wine coolers for the drink of choice. *G*
