Drinkin game of Death its also known as "Death" in some places around the world but sure is fun

Spread cards face-down around a large cup. Draw in clockwise order. A \"drink\" is a normal sip.

- Ace - Social - He/she who draws proposes a toast and everyone drinks.

- 2-6 - Black (Clubs & Spades) - TAKE the card\'s value in drinks.

- 2-6 - Red (Hearts & Diamonds) - GIVE the card\'s value in drinks. The total may be split-up between multiple players.

- 7 - Waterfall - EVERYBODY begins to CHUG. You can\'t stop until the person to your RIGHT has stopped. He/she who draws may stop first.

- 8 - Thumb Master - He/she who draws puts his/her thumb on the table. The last person to do so drinks.

- 9 - Rhyme - He/she who draws says a sentence. The person to his/her LEFT must rhyme with the last word in the original sentence. This continues in clockwise order. Rhyming words may not be repeated. If you repeat a word or can\'t think of one, you drink.

- 10 - Category - He/she who draws thinks of a category, like \"Simpsons Characters.\" Then, he/she says one, like \"Homer.\" Then, the person to his/her LEFT must think of another one, like \"Bart.\" This continues in clockwise order. If you repeat an item or can\'t think of one, you drink.

- Jack - Guys drink - A toast is often included.

- Queen - Ladies drink - A toast is often included.

- King - We don\'t call it \"kings\" for nothing. He/she who draws the first, second and third king pours some of his/her drink into the \"large cup\" AND comes up with a rule that must be obeyed for the rest of the game, like \"no showing your teeth\" or \"no saying \'drink,\' \'drank\' or \'drunk\'.\" Anyone in violation of a rule drinks. He/she who draws the fourth king must POUND the contents of the \"large cup.\" Drawing the fourth king marks the end of the game.

Note:
Drawing the fourth king is a FATE WORSE THAN DEATH if there are a combination of beverages in the \"large cup,\" like beer, wine cooler and vodka. In fact, some players insist that only beer be poured into the cup; but they don\'t have the love for the game.
