Drinking Games - Cards


   Select a type of drinking game from the list below:
Type:

Circle of Death


Requirements: At least 5 players, pack of cards, a lot of luck, 3 Pints of your alcoholic choosing, large table or space on the floor.

A fast and furious way of getting drunk. For those of you who like a game with little skill and lots of drinking this is right up your street. No matter whether you're a hardened drinking games addict or a new comer, everyone has the same chance to drink lots.

Deal all the cards of the pack face down (including jokers) into a large circle. Position players around the cards. The dealer chooses a card from the circle of death and shows everyone within the circle. The player to the left the dealer then selects a card, also showing it to the other players.

Scenario 1
If the cards are of the same suit (i.e three of spades and eight of spades) the two players will add up their combined score (i.e three + eight = 11) and drink for the appropriate number of seconds. It is down to the rest of the team to punish any player who sips their drink, or fails to drink for the required length of time.

Scenario 2
If the cards are of the opposite suit (i.e three of spades and eight of hearts) the dealer places his/her card in a discard pile. The player on the dealers left will keep their card and wait for the next player on their left to reveal a card. If it matches the suit the two players will add up their combined score and drink for the appropriate number of seconds.

Scenario 3 - Optional (for the real drinkers)
If either player reveals a joker they can nominate any one within the circle (game) to finish of their pint.

Repeat the game until all the cards are turned over or everyone has passed out.

Killer Cards

This one was sent in by a Pubs2000 visitor!
This ones a killer, spent many summer nights playing this :

You'll need:between 3 and 7people, a deck of cards, bottle of spirits (any kind. Size depending on how long you play/how many people, lots of beer ie. about two slabs (two cases)

1-spread the cards face down in largeish a circle on a table.
2-players sit in a circle round the table and take it in turn to pick up a card
cards 2,3,4 means that the player who gets that card can distribute that amount of skulls about two or three fingers to any player or players. card is put face down in front of him by the player.
5 card: skull yourself- discard after use
6 card: is the question card. player may keep the card until another is picked up. He can at any time asks a question (example whats the time?) and if the other someone answers he has to skull.
7 card is the thumb. That player can put his thumb on the table at any time and the last person to notice and put his own thumb down skulls
The 8 card is the toilet card. Kept until another is picked up. No player can go to the toilet without this card. The person may let someone use it for a price he can name ie 4 shots of spirits
9 card person to the left of the person who picks it up skulls card. It is discarded
10 card: person who picks it up ask anyone a single question and if they answer incorectly they skull (discard after)
jack: everyone starts skulling at the same time. The person to the left cannot stop until the person who picked up the card does, then the person to his left cannot stop until he does etc people who stop early finish there drink later and have a shot. discard after use
queen: person who picks it up says the rhyme "the ship came into the harbour with a cargo full of..." adds something on (full of cars) next person says a ship came...full of cars and trucks etc until somone forgets it they have a shot and s skull. discard after
King: card goes in the middle when all four are in there the game ends, player also distributes two skulls
Ace: Rule card. player can make a rule as long as it doesn't counter one of the games rules good ones are (can't say any names, no swearing, can only hold your beer with left hand)discard after use rule stays in effect
Enjoy if you can make it through three rounds without chundering your doing pretty well!

Kings


Requirements: No more than 6 players or it could get messy, pack of cards, empty beer pitcher (or similar kind of container), an iron stomach, 3 pints or shots of your choice.

This is a clever little game with many rules. However, the one to be wary about is regarding the fourth king. Should not to be played by lightweights or anyone with an irritable gut.

Place the empty beer pitcher in centre of the table. Deal the deck of cards around the pitcher. Starting with the person on the dealers (make sure you can trust the dealer) left each player reveals a card in turn. Each card has its own particular punishment with differing degrees of suffering.

Punishments

Ace: Everyone in the game drinks 1 finger of their pint or 1 sip of their shots (we prefer to see pints obviously)

Cards 2 through to 5: The player revealing the card drinks the equivalent finger/sips to that of the number shown.

Cards 6 through to 9: The player revealing the card nominates another player to drink the equivalent finger/sips to that of the number shown.

Any 10: The players to the left and right of the player drawing the card drink 10 fingers/sips.

Any Jack: The person revealing the Jack must shout out the first topic that comes into their head for example Beer or Fruit etc and then each player must think of a type for example Stella or Plums without hesitation and delay. Any person who hesitates or fails to think of a type has to drink 10 fingers/sips.

Any Queen: The player revealing the Queen is temporally protected from the next punishment involving them.

Kings: The player who reveals the first king must pour the remainder of their current drink into the empty beer pitcher. Exactly the same thing happens for the second and third king with no punishment dealt out to anyone. However, when the fourth king is revealed that player must finish of the concoction in the beer pitcher.

Warning: this game can get nasty if your friends are drinking a mixture of cider & black, Guinness, bitter, lager, wine and shots. Just remember, if you have the fourth king, ensure that there is a clear route to the toilets before tackling the evil brew.
