Drinking games are a great way to have fun with friends and family. They are perfect for parties, get-togethers, and even for a night in with your significant other. There are many different types of drinking games, but one of the most popular is card games. In this article, we will be discussing some of the best drinking games for two players using cards.
What You Will Need
The first thing you will need is a deck of cards. You can use a standard deck of 52 cards or a specialized deck designed for drinking games. You will also need some drinks, such as beer, wine, or spirits. It is important to remember to drink responsibly and know your limits.
Game #1: Higher or Lower
This is a simple game in which one player draws a card and the other player has to guess whether the next card will be higher or lower. If the player guesses correctly, the other player takes a drink. If they guess incorrectly, they take a drink. The game continues until the deck is finished or one player is too drunk to continue.
Game #2: Kings
This is a popular drinking game that can be played with two players. The game starts by placing a deck of cards face down in a circle around a cup or glass. Each player takes turns drawing a card from the deck. Each card has a specific rule:
- Ace ??? The player who draws the card chooses a category (e.g. types of cars, countries, etc.) and the other player has to name something in that category. If they can't name something, they take a drink.
- Two ??? The player who draws the card chooses someone to take a drink.
- Three ??? The player who draws the card takes a drink.
- Four ??? The player who draws the card chooses someone to take a drink.
- Five ??? The player who draws the card puts their hand in the middle of the table. The other player must do the same. The last player to do so takes a drink.
- Six ??? The player who draws the card chooses a word. The other player must say a word that rhymes with it. The game continues until someone can't think of a word or repeats a word that has already been said. They then take a drink.
- Seven ??? The player who draws the card starts counting from one. The game continues clockwise with each player saying the next number. However, if a player says a number that has a seven in it (e.g. 17, 27, etc.), they must say "buzz" instead. The game continues until someone makes a mistake and takes a drink.
- Eight ??? The player who draws the card chooses someone to be their "mate". Whenever they drink, their mate must drink too.
- Nine ??? The player who draws the card starts a sentence. The other player must then say a word that continues the sentence. The game continues until someone can't think of a word or repeats a word that has already been said. They then take a drink.
- Ten ??? The player who draws the card must take a drink.
- Jack ??? The player who draws the card must make a rule that everyone must follow for the rest of the game. If someone breaks the rule, they take a drink.
- Queen ??? The player who draws the card must ask a question. The other player must answer with a question. The game continues until someone can't think of a question or answers with a statement. They then take a drink.
- King ??? The player who draws the card pours some of their drink into the cup or glass in the middle of the table. The person who draws the fourth king must drink the contents of the cup or glass.
Game #3: Go Fish
This is a classic card game that can be played with two players. The game starts by dealing five cards to each player. The remaining cards are placed face down in a pile. The player who goes first asks the other player if they have a specific card. If the other player has the card, they must give it to the player. If they don't have the card, they say "go fish" and the player must draw a card from the pile. If the player draws the card they were looking for, they can continue their turn. If not, their turn ends. The game continues until one player has no cards left or the pile runs out of cards. The player with the most pairs at the end of the game wins. The loser must take a drink.
Game #4: War
This is a simple game in which each player draws one card from the deck. The player with the higher card wins and the other player takes a drink. If the cards are the same, the players draw again until there is a winner. The game continues until the deck is finished or one player is too drunk to continue.
Conclusion
Drinking games for two cards are a great way to have fun with your friends or significant other. However, it is important to drink responsibly and know your limits. Remember to always have a designated driver and never drink and drive. Cheers!
