Fuck the Dealer!
 Level of Play : 4
3 - 8 Players
Deck of Cards

This game is similar to "Higher or Lower", but is a little more interesting.


Play starts with one person, the 'Dealer', shuffling the cards and placing them face down in front of him.

The person to the dealer's left becomes the first 'Player'. The Player tries to guess what the top card on the deck is. The dealer then looks at the top card and tells him whether or not his guess was right. If the player guesses correctly, the dealer takes five drinks. Otherwise, the dealer tells the player whether the card is 'Higher' or 'Lower' than his guess. The player then gets on more chance to guess correctly. If he get it right, the dealer takes five drinks. If not, the player drinks the difference between his guess and the card. (i.e. if he guesses a '5' and the card was a really '3', the player must take 2 drinks.)

In any case, the dealer now places the card face up in front of him. Arrange the cards in an organized fashion, so everyone can see which cards have already been drawn. The idea is to get the cards to look like this...



Now, the dealer looks at the next person, and asks him to pick a card... an so on.

In order for the dealer to pass the deck to another player, two players in a row must guess incorrectly. When that happens, the player to the dealer's left becomes the new 'Dealer'.

It is important to note that there are two 'circles' going on... the dealer circle, and the player circle. The next 'Dealer' is always the person to the current dealer's left. Likewise, the next 'player' is always the person to the left of the last player --- The next player does not change just because a new person is made dealer. The next player is NOT automatically the person to the new dealer's left... unless of course the player to the Dealer's left is the next person in line. And of course, the player and the dealer cannot be the same person. But if that situation should ever occur, the 'dealer' circle takes priority over the 'player' circle. And I think I am making this more complicated than I really need to, so I'll move on...

Play continues until the dealer is left with three cards. At that point, the dealer is considered to be 'Fucked' and must do a shot. (Since there are only three cards, the player is guaranteed to guess correctly [Unless the player is an absolute moron]. Therefore, the dealer is literally 'Fucked'!)
