Hosting a party can be a lot of work, but it doesn't have to be boring. Why not spice things up with some drinking card games? They're easy to make and can provide hours of entertainment for you and your guests. Here are some ideas for homemade drinking card games that are sure to be a hit at your next party.
1. Kings
Kings is a classic drinking game that's easy to set up. To play, you'll need a deck of cards and a group of people. Start by spreading the cards face down in a circle around a cup. Each card has a different rule, such as "take a sip" or "give two sips." The player who draws the last king from the circle has to drink the cup in the center.
2. Pyramid
Pyramid is another popular drinking game that's simple to make. All you need is a deck of cards and a table. Arrange the cards in a pyramid shape, with one card at the top, two in the next row, and so on. The bottom row should have five cards. Each card has a different rule, such as "take a sip" or "make a rule." The player who draws the last card from the pyramid has to finish their drink.
3. Never Have I Ever
Never Have I Ever is a popular party game that can easily be turned into a drinking game. To play, each player takes turns saying something they've never done before, such as "never have I ever gone skydiving." Anyone who has done that thing has to take a sip of their drink. The game continues until everyone is sufficiently drunk.
4. Drunk Jenga
Jenga is a classic game that can be easily turned into a drinking game. Simply write drinking rules on each block, such as "take a sip" or "give two sips." Players must follow the rule on the block they remove from the tower. The game continues until the tower falls or everyone is too drunk to play.
5. Flip Cup
Flip Cup is a fast-paced drinking game that's perfect for large groups. To play, divide your guests into two teams and line them up on opposite sides of a table. Each player has a cup filled with beer. The first player on each team drinks their beer and then tries to flip their cup over with one hand. Once they succeed, the next player on their team can go. The first team to finish wins.
6. Thumper
Thumper is a silly drinking game that's great for breaking the ice. Players sit in a circle and take turns doing a silly dance move while everyone else thumps the table. The player then points to someone else who has to do the same move. Anyone who can't keep up with the rhythm has to take a sip of their drink.
7. Buzz
Buzz is a simple game that can be played with just a deck of cards. Each player takes turns counting up from one, but replaces every multiple of seven with the word "buzz." Anyone who messes up has to take a sip of their drink.
8. Beer Pong
Beer Pong is a classic drinking game that's perfect for college parties. To play, you'll need a table, cups, and ping pong balls. Set up the cups in a triangle at either end of the table and take turns trying to throw the ping pong balls into the cups. If you make a cup, your opponent has to drink the beer inside.
9. Most Likely
Most Likely is a fun game that can reveal a lot about your friends. One player asks a "most likely" question, such as "who is most likely to get arrested?" Everyone points to the person they think is most likely, and that person has to take a sip of their drink.
10. Flip, Sip, or Strip
Flip, Sip, or Strip is a daring drinking game that's not for the faint of heart. To play, each player takes turns flipping a coin. If it lands on heads, they can choose to either take a sip of their drink or make someone else take off an article of clothing. If it lands on tails, they have to flip again.
These are just a few ideas for homemade drinking card games. Get creative and come up with your own rules, or modify these games to suit your needs. Just remember to drink responsibly and never drive while under the influence.
