How to run it
Cards face down in a ring round one cup in the middle.
Sips or forfeits, never shots. Water counts all night.
Agree the card list before you start — every table plays it differently.
The turn
- Draw one card and do what it says.
- Break the ring and you take a drink for it.
- Play until the last King comes out.
The cards
- Ace — Waterfall. Everyone drinks. You stop first, then the man on your left.
- 2 — You. Hand one out.
- 3 — Me. Take one yourself.
- 4 — Floor. Last hand on the floor drinks.
- 5 — Everybody. Everyone drinks, which here is everyone.
- 6 — Chicks. Nobody present. Take one yourself.
- 7 — Heaven. Last hand in the air drinks.
- 8 — Mate. Pick somebody. He drinks whenever you do.
- 9 — Rhyme. Say a word and go round rhyming. First to stall drinks.
- 10 — Categories. Name one and go round. First to stall drinks.
- Jack — Rule. Invent one. It stands for the rest of the game.
- Queen — Questions. Ask anyone anything. They answer with a question.
- King — Pour a little into the middle. The fourth King drinks it.
