Planning a party can be fun, especially if you are going to have a lot of your close friends come, so make sure that you have some fun beer games planned. The problem with parties is that sometimes they get to be too big, and you don’t really know that many people there. If you want to avoid the uncomfortable stage, where everyone is wondering what to say and do, you need to have a plan. If you plan a couple of beer drinking games to get people loosened up, you can definitely get people talking with each other (or at least get a little competition going).
If you have a deck of cards and at least four friends, you can play this game, which is called bullshit. The object of the game is to get rid of all of your cards as fast as you can, and sometimes you are going to have to tell a couple of lies to do that. If you aren’t a good bluffer, you are definitely going to have to learn quickly (or prepare yourself to drink a lot)! Here are the rules.
1. One person shuffles and deals out all of the cards in a standard deck, so that each player gets the same number of cards (depending on the number of players, you may need two or more decks of cards).
2. Each player looks at his or her cards. When your neighbors have had a couple of drinks each, you may be able to sneak peeks at their cards to help you out in the game.
3. Going around in a circle, each person will set down (with the cards face side down) the number of aces that he or she has. If the player doesn’t have any, he can do one of two things: bluff or put nothing down. If he passes, and doesn’t put down any cards, play goes on to the next player. If the player puts down some card, you can either believe them, or call their bluff.
4. When a player calls a bluff, the cards are turned over. If the person who set them down was lying, he has to drink. If the person who called the bluff was wrong about it being a lie, then they have to drink. The amount that you drink should be set in advance. Don’t make them drink too much, because this can be a really long game.
5. In addition to drinking beer, the person who drank has to pick up all of the cards in the pile and add them to their hand. The game continues with players putting down their kings, queens, jacks, and so on.
6. The winner is the first person to get rid of all of their cards. After each person finishes their cards, the remaining players have to drink the set amount of beer.
Remember that if you are going to be providing alcoholic drinks of any kind for your guests, or if you are drinking with your friends in a bar, to make sure that you stay as safe as possible. Don‘t risk your life or others‘ lives. Have a designated driver; take a taxi; or if you can, invite them to stay over so they don’t have to worry about getting home. Drinking games can be fun, and give your party a bit of a boost, but they should be played responsibly.
