Let’s Play Give and Take!
So, if you’re already feeling a little tipsy, Give and Take is the perfect game to add some extra fun to the mix. It’s not so much about drinking, but more about getting people to reveal embarrassing secrets or say things they wouldn’t normally if they were sober. Just a heads up, though, it’s probably best to play this game a bit later in the night, once everyone’s loosened up a bit. Starting off with it might make things a bit awkward!
How the Game Works
First things first, shuffle the deck of cards. Then, deal four cards face up to each player. Now, let’s set up two rows of cards, each containing six cards, face down. One row is for truth or take, and the other is for give and dare.
Now, when it comes to drinking, each row represents a different number of sips. Starting from the right and going left, the number of drinks increases by 2 for each card: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and a full beer. Each number corresponds to the number of seconds you have to finish your drink.
Let the Games Begin!
Alright, here’s the deal. We’re gonna play a fun game that involves drinks and truth or dare questions. Let’s get started!
First, we have a card designated for two drinks. If you happen to have this card, you can choose to take those two drinks or answer a truth question that the rest of the group agrees on. If nobody has the card, we’ll need to replace it from the deck. And if two people happen to have the card, they’ll battle it out with a game of rock, paper, scissors. The loser drinks, and the winner gets to choose between answering a truth question or taking the two-second drink.
Next, it’s time for the dare and give side of the game. If a player has a card that matches the one in the row, they can give the designated number of drinks to someone. In return, the person/people who receive the drinks will give them a dare. The same rules apply here if multiple people have the same card or if nobody has that specific card that was flipped.
Now, let’s talk about the Aces rule. If you happen to receive an ace during the initial card dividing, you get to make a drinking rule. If an ace is flipped from one of the rows, the person with the most cards of that suit in their hand gets to create the rule. If there’s a tie, we’ll have a rock, paper, scissors battle to determine the winner. The loser drinks, and the winner gets to make the rule. In both situations, we’ll use a card from the deck to replace the ace.
