Card Drinking Games: Drunk Driver

Card Game Drinking Game Rules (Version1)

Drunk Driver Drinking Card Game is a great Drinking Game for Two People. Three or even more people can play with enough cards – feel free to mix 2 decks or more for a big crowd of players.

Drunk Driver Card Game is a fine example of guessing-game-cum-drinking-game at its finest!

You move down a line of cards by making good guesses. Bad guesses get you drinks.

When you reach the end of the line of cards, you've arrived home. Congrats!

Ok, before you blow a pipe, Drunk Driver Drinking Game requires no *real* driving. It doesn't even require fake driving like in a video game. It's simply a guessing game that you're bound to mess up as the drinks come pouring in.

Prepare Drunk Driver Drinking Game:
The Drinks!

To play, you will need the following:

..a standard 52-card deck of playing cards.

..lots of booze (we recommend beer, wine, or wine-coolers)

..(optional) small plastic cups to serve as shotglasses. Use 1.5oz – 3oz cups such as those used in mouthwash. Half-fill or fill to the brim, it’s your choice.

Prepare Drunk Driver Drinking Game:
The Card Game!

Each game calls for 1 dealer and at least 1 player. The dealer can also play if he wants by dealing himself in. Roles can interchange after each game.

For Drinking Games your guests are sure to enjoy, choose the one you think is best, or play both versions. Let’s Game On!

Drinking Games: Drunk Driver Version 1:

..Dealer places 5 to 7 cards face down in a line. Note: you decide the number of cards depending on whether you players are light drinkers (5 cards) or heavy drinkers (7 cards)

..The Player starts by flipping the first card on 1 end of the line. The goal is to flip all the cards before you pass out.

..Depending on the card’s value, the player can:
….proceed to the next card in line; or,
….he gets to drink; or,
….he gets to drink AND gets extra card(s) added to the end of the line.

..Note: The line represents the road that the player must travel. The game ends when the player reaches the end of the line of cards. Or he can get drunk and wipe out.

Drinking Games: Drunk Driver Version 1: Card Values & What To Do:

Check out the table below to see which ruleset you want to follow. If your party guests are lightweights, do them a kindness and choose the ruleset for “Light Drinkers”. Otherwise, bring on the booze!

As an option for exceptionally heavy drinkers: You can double the number of drinks, or double the number of cards, or even both.

Another option is to include the Joker Cards in your deck. If the Joker card comes up, the dealer removes 1 card from the end of the line. As an added twist, you can also make the dealer drink.

If you’re playing the game with a big group of players, the game ends when somebody passes out drunk. Otherwise, keep playing and keep rotating the role of dealer. The dealer can also play while he deals. But it’s best if you let the dealer use this time to recover.

How to Play Drunk Driver Card Game as a Strip Game:

Using Version 1 Rules Above:

We Recommend a couple of ways you can introduce a Strip Game element to your game of Drunk Driver:

Method 1: Follow the rules above except that you allow the player to avoid taking drinks in exchange for removing 1 item of clothing. You should Come up with a predetermined exchange rate like 2 drinks for each item of clothing.

Method 2: Make Aces a Strip card instead of just another Drink card. If the player gets an ace, he/she has to remove 1 item of clothing. The dealer may or may not still add cards to the end of the line.

Method 3: Instead of a being a static Strip card, make Aces a "Drink, Strip, or Add" card. Each time the player gets an Ace, let him/her choose one of the three consequences:
..Drink 4 shots; or,
..Strip 1 item of clothing; or,
..Add 4 cards to the end of the line.

Method 4: You make all face cards (Jacks, Queens, Kings) an "AVOID" card. Some quick rule revisions are required here:
..First of all, in this game all Face Cards carry 3 coinciding penalties: Drink 4 shots, Strip 1 item, and Add 4 cards to the end of the line.
..However, the player only suffers 2 out of the 3 -- he/she chooses which penalty to avoid each time.
..It works out this way: A player can avoid getting drunk, or getting stripped, or adding 4 cards. Sooner or later though, one or the other WILL catch up to him/her.

..Note About Recovering Lost Clothes: If you want the option of recovering clothes: let the player do so whenever he/she gets a Two. Make a simple rule: player can recover only the last item removed.
