We have collected some card drinking games, which have the potential to get you shitfaced. Simply click on the name of the game and you will automatically led to the corresponding drinking game.
This list of card drinking games we like the most.
👉 We have sorted the list by popularity.
Kings Cup
Kings Cup is the classic among drinking games with cards. The “get-shitfaced” probability makes this game the highlight of a party.
You need at least four players for Kings Cup. The cards are placed face down on the table and a big cup is placed in the middle of the table. Now distribute all cards around the King Cup face down. You’re all set!
Kings Cup is played clockwise and round-based. Each turn, a player picks and turns over a card. Each card represents an action. When a card is turned over, the player who uncovers the card, executes the action assigned to the card.
Kings Cup Card Rules:
Ace - Waterfall
To perform a waterfall, each player starts drinking their beverage at the same time as the person to their left. No player can stop drinking until the player before them stops.
Two - Give 2
Pick a player. This player takes 2 sips. Or pick 2 players and each one of those players needs to take 1 sip
Three - Take 1
TIf you pick this card, drink 1 sip!
Four - Give 2, take 2:
Pick a player. You and the chosen player take 2 sips each.
Five - For the Men
All the guys take a big sip.
Six - For the Ladies
All girls must drink.
Seven - Thumb Master
Whenever the player who drew this card places their thumb on the end of the table, however discretely, all other players must place their thumbs there as well. The last person who places their thumb has to drink. The drawer of this card has the power to do this at any point until the next jack is drawn, or the end of the game.
Eight - Drinking Mate
“Eight is for mate”. Choose a person to be your mate and they drink when you drink for the rest of the game. If one of the mates draws another 8 card they chose another player and now all three have to drink. You can also merge two mated pairs this way. If all players of the game become mated, then all ties are cancelled.
Nine - Rhyme
“Nine is Rhyme”. You say a word, and the person to your right has to say a word that rhymes. This continues around the table until someone cannot think of a word or take too long to come up with a rhyme. This person must drink. The same word may not be used twice.
Ten - Social
Cheers, everyone drinks! 🍻
Jack - Make A Rule
This is my most favorite card to get. You can come up with a new rule for the game or remove one. If a player breaks the rules, he must drink!
An example for this would be: Everyone needs to chug their drinks with the left hand. Or everyone needs to moan while drinking. You get the idea.
Queen - Categories
You come up with a category of things, and the person to your right must come up with something that falls within that category. This goes on around the table until someone can’t come up with anything. This person must drink.
King - King’s Cup
The first 3 people who draw this card, pour their drinks into the Kings Cup in the middle of the table. The 4th player who gets this card, must drink all the content of the Kings Cup.
Ride the Bus
Ride the Bus is a great drinking game, however it can also drives you crazy.
Bus driving is played in five rounds. You drink more from round to round, The loser of the fourth round has to be the bus driver at the end. Each player receives four cards face down.
1. Round: Black or White
Every single player has to guess whether the top of his 4 face down cards is black or red. If the player guessed wrong, he/she has to drink.
Example:
Answer = “Black” 👉 Card = “Heart” Jack“ 👉 Drink! 🍺
Answer = “Red” 👉 Card = “Check” 4“ 👉 Don’t drink!
2. Round: Higher or Lower
In the second round you have to guess whether the next card on your card stack is higher or lower than the card you placed earlier. If your guess is incorrect, you have to drink.
Example: (Last placed Check 8)
Answer = “Higher” 👉 Card = „Pik 5“ 👉 Drink! 🍺
Answer = “Lower” 👉 Card = “Heart 6“👉 Don’t Drink!
3. Round: Inside or Outside
This round is about guessing whether the next card is inside or outside the last two cards, you’ve placed earlier (in terms of numbers). If your guess is wrong, you have to drink!
Example: (There are Pik 8 + cross 5)
Answer = “Inside” 👉 Card = “Heart Ace” 👉 Drink! 🍺
Answer = “Outside” 👉 Card = “Check King” 👉 Don’t Drink!
4. Round: Color
In the last round, the each player has to guess the color of the last card. Just like in the previous rounds, you have to drink if you’re wrong.
Example:

Answer = “Cross” 👉 Card = “Cross jack” 👉 Don’t Drink!
Pyramide Round
In the pyramid round it will be decided who has to drive the bus at the end of the game. First, you have to place 10 cards face down like a pyramid. 4 cards as a base, 3 cards above, then 2 cards and 1 card at the top. The cards get uncovered from the bottom to the top. Each player uncovers one card at a time. If the card you’ve just uncovered has the same value as a card in your hand, you can discard it and distribute sips to the other players.The goal is to discard every card in your hand.
The person with the most cards in his/her hand becomes the bus driver.
Example:
Check 7 is the first uncovered card. All players who have a 7 in their hand can discard it and distribute a sip to any player.After all four cards of the base have been uncovered, Pik Queen is turned up on the second level. All players can now discard their queens and distribute two sips to other players.
5. Round: Driving the Bus
Congrats to the Bus Driver. You soon may drink a hell of a lot!
First you place 16 cards (face down) in the form of a diamond.
1 card 👉 2 cards 👉 3 cards 👉 4 cards 👉 3 cards 👉 2 cards 👉 1 cards
The task of the bus driver is to uncover a non-picture card for every level of the diamond.
If the bus driver uncovers a picture-card (Ace, King, Queen, Jack), he/she has to take a sip for every already uncovered card.After the bus driver has finished drinking, the bus drive starts again from the beginning. Each already uncovered card will be replaced with a new card. This process goes on until the player has finally managed to uncover 7 cards, without getting a picture-card. Alternative End: The bus driver lies under the table.
