College can be a time of great fun and social activity. Many students enjoy a night out with friends, but sometimes it's nice to stay in and have some fun without breaking the bank. That's where drinking card games come in. These games are perfect for a night in with friends, and they don't require much more than a deck of cards and some drinks. Here are some drinking card games that college students will love:
Kings
Kings is a classic drinking card game that is easy to learn and fun to play. To play, spread a deck of cards face down in a circle around a cup. Each card corresponds to a different rule, such as "you" (the person who drew the card), "mate" (the person to your left or right), or "categories" (choose a category, such as types of beer, and everyone has to name something in that category). The person who draws a king pours some of their drink into the cup in the middle. The person who draws the fourth king has to drink the entire cup in the middle.
Circle of Death
Circle of Death, also known as "Kings Cup," is another classic drinking card game. To play, spread a deck of cards face down in a circle around a cup. Each card corresponds to a different rule, such as "waterfall" (everyone starts drinking at the same time and can't stop until the person to their right stops), "make a rule" (the person who drew the card makes a rule that everyone has to follow), or "never have I ever" (everyone takes turns saying something they've never done, and anyone who has done it has to drink). The person who draws the last king has to drink the entire cup in the middle.
Up and Down the River
Up and Down the River is a fun and simple drinking card game that is perfect for a group of friends. To play, each player is dealt four cards face up in front of them. The dealer then deals four cards face down in a row in the middle of the table. The goal of the game is to have the highest hand, with the cards in the middle of the table acting as community cards that everyone can use. Each round, players take turns guessing whether the next card in the deck will be higher or lower than the cards in front of them. If they guess correctly, they can give out drinks. If they guess wrong, they have to take drinks.
Fuzzy Duck
Fuzzy Duck is a silly and fast-paced drinking card game that is sure to get everyone laughing. To play, sit in a circle and take turns saying "fuzzy duck" or "ducky fuzz." If someone says "does he," the direction of the game changes. If someone says "duck," the person to their left has to say "fuzzy duck" and so on. If someone messes up, they have to take a drink. The game gets faster and more confusing as it goes on, making it a fun challenge for everyone.
Conclusion
Drinking card games are a great way to have fun with friends without breaking the bank. Whether you're looking for a classic game like Kings or Circle of Death, or something a little more unique like Up and Down the River or Fuzzy Duck, there's a drinking card game out there for everyone. So grab a deck of cards, some drinks, and get ready to have a great time!
