Drunk war

Objective:

The objective of Drunk War is to win all the cards in the deck and avoid drinking penalties.

Setup:

1. Drunk War is played with a standard deck of 52 playing cards.
2. The game is typically played by two players.

Gameplay:

1. Shuffle the deck of cards and deal all the cards evenly between the two players. Each player should have a face-down stack of cards.
2. Both players turn the top card of their respective stacks face-up simultaneously, placing them in the center.
3. The player with the higher-ranking card wins the round and collects both cards, placing them face-down at the bottom of their stack.
4. If there is a tie (war), each player places three additional cards face-down on top of the tied cards. Then, both players turn over their next card face-up.
5. The player with the higher-ranking card after the war wins all the cards in play, including the tied cards from the previous round.
6. If there is another tie during war, the process is repeated until one player’s card outranks the other.
7. The winner of each round starts the next round by playing the top card of their stack face-up.
8. The game continues until one player has collected all the cards in the deck.
9. As a drinking twist, whenever a player loses a round, they must take a sip of their drink or take a designated drink penalty.
10. The specific drink penalties can be established before the game starts. For example, losing a war could require a larger drink, or certain cards could have specific penalties associated with them.

Tips:

• Pay attention to the cards played and remember which cards are still in play.
• Strategize when to play certain cards to increase your chances of winning ties and wars.
• Keep track of the cards your opponent has played to anticipate their potential moves.
• Use your knowledge of the deck to make educated guesses on the likelihood of winning a particular round.
• Establish clear drinking penalties and rules before the game starts to ensure everyone is on the same page.
