Circle of Death is a card drinking game that everyone should play. It is perfect for parties or for having a good time with friends. It is one of the best drinking games ever, because you have to invent your own rules and every round is different.
A group of 2-8 people. In principle, more people are also possible, but then it becomes quite confusing.
A pack of cards
Drinks of your choice. Be careful sometimes you have to drink a lot.
And one glass for Circle of Death plus as many as you need for your drinks.
There are three basic rules that apply from the beginning of the game. The drinking rules are:
Of course, if you break the rule, you drink.
Each player now takes turns drawing a card. Each card drawn has a different meaning. Let’s start:
7 -> Left neighbour must drink.
8 -> Right night bar must drink.
9 -> You get to choose who drinks
You drink
Jack -> You may set a rule (this applies for the entire game). Whoever violates it drinks! (The rule must apply to the general public, not to individuals!) e.g. No one may drink with the right hand if you break it … you drink 🙂
Checkers -> You become the Questionmaster (you have to announce loud and clear “I am the Questionmaster!”). You are allowed to ask questions in between like “who’s turn is it” whoever answers and doesn’t finish the sentence with Mister Questionmaster has to drink!
King -> (the first three kings drawn) You may fill something into the middle empty cup. The 4th king drawn, however, must empty the cup.
Ace -> Everyone must drink the same amount as you.
The game is over when all cards have been turned over.
