SETUP
Setup is quick and easy! All of the cards are to be shuffled together and placed in a pile in the center of the group.
GAMEPLAY
Once the cards have been placed, the game can begin! There is no rule about who begins the game. The first player will pick a card from the top of the pile, read it aloud, and place it for everyone to see.
Once it starts, simply rotate around the group, allowing players to draw the top card on the pile. Whatever a card says must be completed or a drink must be taken as punishment.
The player who has taken the lowest amount of drinks win. It is similar to a point system. The game does not have a set end point. Whenever the group decides, or are too drunk to remember there is a game, signifies the end.
SPECIAL CARDS
All Player Cards
If the card applies to anyone playing, they must take a drink. If the card applies to the card drawer, they must take an additional sip.
The Challenge Cards
Whatever challenge is on the card must be completed. Some require teams, and then both players can get a punishment drink if they fail the challenge! Some require silence, remember, this is key!
Spill The Tea Cards
Answer the question on the card in front of the whole group. If the player does not want to answer, they must take the sip punishment.
New Rules Cards
The rule on the card is to be followed by players for the specific amount of time found on the card. If a player fails to follow the rules they get a sip punishment. A player can opt out of a rule by taking two shots.
The Category Is
Each player must answer something in the category given. The player who drew the card begins, and it continues clockwise around the group. When there is hesitation, a player cannot answer within three seconds or answers incorrectly, that player must take the drink punishment.
PrEP Cards
These are safety cards and can quickly become a player’s best friend. There are only two found throughout the deck, and only one can be returned to the deck after use!
END OF GAME
The end of the game is decided by the group. Whoever has the lowest number of drinks wins the game!
