Drinking card games are a popular pastime among friends. They are a great way to have fun, socialize, and enjoy a few drinks. One of the most popular types of drinking card games is Give and Take. This game is easy to learn, and it can be played with a small or large group of people.
What is Give and Take?
Give and Take is a card game that involves drinking. The game is played with a standard deck of cards, and the rules are simple. Each player takes turns picking a card from the deck. The player then has to perform an action based on the card they have picked. The actions can range from taking a drink to giving out drinks to other players.
How to Play Give and Take
To play Give and Take, you will need a deck of cards and some drinks. The game is best played with a group of people, but it can also be played with just two people. Before you start the game, decide on the rules for each card. Here are some common rules:
- Ace: Take one drink
- Two: Give out two drinks
- Three: Take three drinks
- Four: Give out four drinks
- Five: Take five drinks
- Six: Give out six drinks
- Seven: Everyone drinks
- Eight: Pick a mate, and they drink with you for the rest of the game
- Nine: Rhyme time - say a word, and the person to your left has to say a word that rhymes with it. This continues around the table until someone can't think of a word.
- Ten: Categories - pick a category, and everyone has to name something in that category. This continues around the table until someone can't think of anything.
- Jack: Make a rule - come up with a rule that everyone has to follow for the rest of the game.
- Queen: Question master - anyone who answers a question you ask has to take a drink.
- King: Pour some of your drink into the King's Cup in the center of the table. The person who draws the final King has to drink the King's Cup.
Once you have decided on the rules, shuffle the deck of cards and place them in the center of the table. The first player picks a card and performs the action based on the card they have picked. The game continues clockwise around the table until all the cards have been drawn.
