Play physically

All the players sit in a circle around a spread deck of cards in a circle type of way, all faced down, in the middle of a table.

What are the (official) drinking game rules for Circle of Death?

In Circle of Death, the suits of the card have no value, whereas the value of the card is used as rule indicator.

Although there could be some debate about the official rules, a good guideline are the following rules.

Ace, Waterfallrace!

The player who drew the card starts drinking. As soon as he's drinking, the next player follows and so on until all players are drinking. Once the first player stops drinking, all other players can stop drinking in the same manner.

Two for you

The player who drew the card can choose someone that has to drink ONE sip.

A lot of times this rule is misinterpreted as having to drink twice.

Three for me

The player that drew the card has to take ONE sip.

A lot of times this rule is misinterpreted as having to drink three sips.

Four, point to the floor!

EVERYONE POINT TO THE FLOOR! The last one to point to the floor has to drink ONE sip.

Five, for the wives

All the biological females in the group have to drink ONE sip.

Six for the dicks

All the biological males in the group have to drink ONE sip.

Seven, point to heaven!

EVERYONE POINT TO THE HEAVEN! The last one to point to heaven (up) has to drink ONE sip.

Eight, pick a mate

Choose someone that will have to drink whenever you drink, but not vica versa. However, you can make chains.

Nine, make a rhyme

The player that drew the card can say a word, all the other players will have to make a rhyme on that word. The first one to get stuck or repeat a word has to drink ONE sip.

Ten, categories

Although it doesn't rhyme like the other rules, it's still a valid rule. The player that drew the card has to say a category (car brands, type of bread, etc.). First player to get stuck or repeat an item of the category has to drink ONE sip.

Jack, the thumb master!

The thumb master has a special ability that can be used throughout the game until another thumb master has been assigned (by drawing a Jack card). The thumb master's ability allows him/her to put his thumb on the table, all other players have to follow. The last player to notice has to drink ONE sip. The thumb master can use this ability as much as he wants.

Queen, the question bitch!

The question bitch has a special ability that can be used throughout the game until another question bitch has been assigned (by drawing a Queen card). The question bitch's ability allows him/her to ask as many questions as she wants (directed to as many players as she wants) and whoever answers the questions of the Question bitch has to drink ONE sip. The question bitch can use this ability as much as he wants.

King, make a rule!

You can make your own rule! A few examples: names cannot be said; whenever you have to drink, praise god; everytime you drink, stare in the eyes of the person right in front of you...

Extra rule: Breaking the circle

If a person breaks the circle visually, meaning that the cards are no longer forming a circular by touching, that player has to down his drink. The

A quite popular alternative to this rule is by having a full drink or cup in the middle of the circle.

The circle can only be broken once.
