What happens if two players bet the same number of drinks?

If there's a tie, both players drink the full amount they bet. This keeps the game moving without arguments.

Can I skip a turn if I’m low on my drink?

No, skipping isn't allowed. Instead, lower the number of drinks you bet, or sip smaller amounts if others agree.

What happens if the deck runs out?

If the deck runs out, shuffle the discard pile and continue playing. If you're at the final showdown, the winner is whoever bet the most drinks correctly overall.

Can I split my drink assignment between multiple players after winning a round?

Yes, you can split your assigned drinks across multiple players as long as the total matches the amount you're awarding. Be strategic to keep everyone engaged.

Tips & Strategies

Start conservatively to get a feel for how others bet, especially if it's your first time playing. Remember that face cards can easily throw off your strategy, so keep an eye on the deck as it thins out. If you win a round and get to assign drinks, don't always gang up on the same person, or they might turn the rest of the table against you. For larger groups, consider setting a strict time limit for bets to keep the energy up.
