- Whatever the card says, applies immediately.
- Shuffle so the order is different every time.
- Decide how many cards you are drawing before you shuffle, not during.
Why couples love this game
The advantage of cards over a memorised game is that nobody has to be the referee. Each card states its own rule, which means neither of you is inventing forfeits on the spot or arguing about what the rules were.
Tips to make it more fun
- One glass of water for every card that makes somebody drink twice.
- Swap the sip for any forfeit — the rules work identically.
- Play early rather than late.
- The card that gets the longest pause is the one to revisit sober.
Frequently asked questions
Do we need a real deck of cards?
No. Each card on this page carries its own rule, so there is nothing to buy, nothing to memorise and no arguing about what the rules were.
How long does it take?
Fifteen cards is about twenty minutes at a sensible pace. Agree an end point before you start rather than during.
