How to Play
STACK SMART.
PLAY BOLD.
The fast-paced drinking card game where strategy meets sips. Here's everything you need to get the party started.
DEAL IT. MATCH IT. SIP IT.
DEAL IT.
Choose a dealer, shuffle the deck, and deal 7 cards to each player. Put the rest face down as the stockpile.
FLIP IT.
Turn the top stockpile card face up beside it. That's your active card. If it's a special action card, reshuffle and flip again.
PLAY IT.
Match the active card by color, number, or icon - or play a special action card. Play moves to the left.
GOT A MATCH?
Play a card that matches the active card's color, number, or icon, or choose a special action card.
Then your turn ends and the player on your left goes next.
NO MATCH?
Draw one card from the stockpile. If it's playable, you may play it immediately. Otherwise, keep it.
Either way, take a sip. Your turn is over.
KNOW YOUR NUMBERS.
YOU PICK.
Choose another player to take a sip.
YOU SIP.
Play a 3? Take a sip yourself.
CATEGORY TIME.
Pick a category (like types of beer). The player on your left has 3 seconds to name something in it. Correct? They take their turn. Wrong or too slow? They skip it.
SPECIAL ACTION CARDS.
CATCH-UP SIP
The player with the fewest cards takes a sip and draws one card. If there's a tie, all tied players do both.
The player who played the special card picks the color the person to their left has to try and match.
ONE FOR ALL
Every player except the person who played the card takes a sip and draws one card.
The player to the left continues by matching the color of the special card.
FIRST ONE OUT WINS.
Be the first player to empty your hand - or keep playing until you're ready to call it a night.
