If the player does have the card, the victim drinks twice. If the player doesn’t have the card, they drink twice. If the victim calls “bullshit,” the player must reveal the card in question. In other words, the player who claimed to have that card may be lying. The player who is told to drink (the “victim”) can either drink or call the other player’s bluff. Any player who claims to have that card can tell another player to drink. The dealer turns over the first card of the pyramid, starting with the bottom row, and calls out the card. Each player has 10 seconds to look at and remember their cards, in the order they’re given. The remaining cards are distributed evenly (or as evenly as possible) among the players. The bottom row has seven cards, and the next has six, and so on, until you have one card on top. The dealer makes a pyramid of cards face down on a table. The player to their left becomes the new dealer. If three players in a row do not guess correctly on their first or second guesses, the dealer abdicates their duties. This continues clockwise until the deck is out. If the guess is correct, the dealer moves on to the next player. In other words, if the card is a 10 and the guess was jack, the player takes one sip. If the guess is incorrect, the player drinks the difference of their guess and the card. If the guess is wrong, the dealer tells the player “higher” or “lower,” and the player gets a second guess. If the guess is correct, the dealer takes four sips. Next, the dealer asks the player to their left to guess the card on top of the deck. The player with the lowest card is the first dealer, and they collect all cards and shuffle the deck. F*ck the Dealerįor this game, all players sit around a table with their drinks. If the “dealer of death” is drinking, they can count the seconds by tapping the table. The “dealer of death” is in charge of counting out the seconds as the cards go around. If a card dealt to a player matches a card on either side of it in number or suit, the card is “active.” All players with an active card must drink the amount of seconds matching the value of the card. The game begins with the dealer of death distributing the cards clockwise and face up, starting with the player on their left. Players must refer to the dealer as the “dealer of death,” and if they call the dealer by any other name, they must drink for five seconds. To set up, everyone sits in a circle with their drink. In some circles, this game calls for four beers per person, which we think is a bit aggressive player discretion is advised. (Note: Drinking game rules, as many cultural rituals surrounding alcohol, vary by geography, personal opinion, and other highly subjective factors.) Circle of Death
