In any group of people socializing together there will always be some more extrovert than others, meaning that for the quieter members of the group it may take longer to come out of their shell. Drinking card games are a fabulous way of bringing everyone together, loud or shy, all playing to one set of rules, and before you know it those who previously hung back a little, are suddenly free of their inhibitions and putting their noisier friends in the shade.
There are so many of these card drinking games, each with their own merits and probably each with a certain time of the evening to be played, with some designed to just "loosen up", whilst others are more hard core.
Let's start off with drown the clown because it's one of the easiest and enjoyable card games that will transform your party within a few fun-filled minutes. We've put this game first because it's a great place to start and it will help to get the ball rolling. The games begins with everyone receiving a face down card. When everyone is ready, all players will flip their cards. Any two players who have the same card, such as two tens or two fives, will have to drink a shot. Depending on how many players there are, there may be instances where more than two players will have the same card and in this case all players who have matching cards will drink. Once everyone has finished taking their shot, you will go on to round two.
Basically each player is dealt a card and the first person to receive a king picks a drink of their choice. The second player to turn up a king then selects the mixer to go into that drink. The third player receiving a king then either makes or buys the drink (depending on your location), before the fourth person has to drink it. In some cases the same person can end up having to do all 4 if they are unlucky enough to be dealt all for kings.
Drink The Difference
The dealer will give a card to himself as well as the other player, and the player (not the dealer) will have to drink the difference of the two cards. So, if the dealer's card was a five and the player's card was a ten, then the player would have to drink five drinks. If both the player and the dealer receive the same card, both need to take a drink.
It basically is a game of guessing and begins with the other player dealing 5 cards in an "L" shape, with the corner card face down and the other 4 face up.
The aim is to simply guess whether the next card turned over on to the top of the "L"will be red or black, if correct they move on to the next card, if not they are forced to take a stipulated drink.
Each card will require a player to take a certain amount of drinks, the cards and what they represent are:
It is over once you have got to the other end of the "L" or you go through the whole pack, in which case you probably need to go for a lie down!
High Low
So, the next time you're stuck in a rut because your party is boring, try some drinking card games for two or even for a larger group, to liven it up in a snap.
