Pyramid.
You create a pyramid of cards flat on the table.
So lay out one card, then two, then three, then 4 so there is a pyramid of cards.
Deal the rest of the cards evenly to the drinkers.
My rules for drinking measurements it goes from the bottom layer 4 fingers, 6 fingers, 8 fingers, 12 at the top.
Aces are a double shot of spirits.
You turn the first card from the bottom layer, anyone who has one or more of these cards can place it down and order someone to drink.
If someone lays more than one card it can be split between people or ordered for one.
You work accross layers, left to right, when a layer is finished you go up.
Thats a basic card based game.
Theres also a game called captain ****head, similar to ring of fire.
Shuffle deck, place in centre, people take cards round in a circle.
A black number card = You drink that many fingers of your drink
A red number card = Order someone to ring that many fingers of their drink.
A jack = Word association, you say a word, goes round in a circle, the person who hesitates or repeats a word or messes it up takes a forfeit, we usually use a double shot.
A queen = Waterfall, eveyone starts drinking, when the card picker stops drinking, the person next to them can stop drinking, then when they stop drinking, the person after etc. etc.
A king = Make a rule
An Ace = You are now captain ****head, you can do whatever you want, literally WHATEVER, make rules, order people to drink stupid amounts, order someone to slap themselves in the face. ANYTHING. Until someone gets the next ace.
Theres also a game called the ***** good if you don't have cards, hard to explain, i'll call it the beer for the purpose of this due to the swearing ban.
One pint, "the beer".
1 passes to 2 and says "heres the beer" player 2 says "the what" player one says "the beer" player 2 says "ahh the beer" player 2 passes the beer to player 3 and says "heres the beer" player 3 asks "the what" player 2 asks player 1 "the what" to which player 1 responds "the beer" which player 2 passes on to player 3, player 3 says "ahh the beer" and passes onto player 4.
And so on.
If someone messes up, says the wrong thing or something at the wrong time or whatever they must chug the pint and buy the next one.
Difficult to explain, but you might get the gist of it from that.
