Doom
Drink the least by strategically playing your cards and winning the rounds of doom.
Equipment
- 1 centre cup
- 1 coin
- Deck of Cards
- 1 drink each
- A table
Setup
Fill your drinks with a beverage of your choice then gather at a table, placing the coin and the empty cup in the middle so that everyone can reach.
Aim of the Game
Drink the least by strategically playing your cards and winning the rounds of doom.
How to Play
Each player gets 6 cards which they keep to themselves. Every round a player must play one of their cards (the higher the better, which is where strategy comes in). Once everyone has chosen a card to play, they are all flipped over at once.
If you have the highest card, you are safe. But if you have the lowest card, then you must add 2 fingers of drink to the centre cup and Enter Doom Round 1. Everyone else is safe.
DOOM ROUND 1: Flip the coin and call the side you think it will land on.
If you are correct - you can choose another to take a sip of their own drink, the round ends and everyone plays their next card.
If you are incorrect - you can either drink it OR double down by adding two more fingers to the centre cup and proceeding to doom round 2 for another chance to escape doom.
DOOM ROUND 2: Predict whether the top card of the undealt deck is odd or even
If you are correct - you can choose 2 others to take a sip of their own drink, the round ends and everyone plays their next card.
If you are incorrect - you can either drink it OR double down by adding two more fingers to the centre cup and proceeding to doom round 3 for another chance to escape doom.
DOOM ROUND 3: Another player must spin the coin for you on the table and you must stop it with one finger whilst its spinning so it stands up vertically
If you pass - every other player takes a sip of their drink, the round ends and everyone plays their next card.
If you fail - you must drink the contents of the centre drink and top it up with 2 fingers for the start of next round
Keep playing your cards until you have none left. The player who wins the most rounds gets to dish out the amount of drinks desiganted by a random card picked from the deck.
The player(s) with the least amount of wins must finish the chug cup and their own drink.
Rules
- The coin spin on DOOM ROUND 2 should be fair (whether a spin was fair is voted on by everyone playing)
- Keep your cards to yourself
- Cards cannot be swapped, you play with what you’re dealt
- If you can’t add any more drinks to the chug cup, a second cup should be used
- If there are multiple people with the lowest card, they must both enter doom, work out between yourselves who goes first.
