Drinking Games:
Brain Damage
What you will need:
People (bring more for better buzz factor)
A deck of cards--remove all 8s, 9s, and 10s
Beer (liquor might not be the best idea with this game)
Game basics:
A fantastic game. Undoubtedly when you first explain this game,
people give blank stares and are confused, but after a quick round,
everyone usually gets the hang of things. The buzz
factor starts out low, but with lots of people, dealing last can be
dangerous at best.
The ranks of the cards are:
Face cards .5 points
Aces 1.0 point
2-7 face value
10s wild
The game is played just like Black Jack but to 7.5 points.
First, lay out all cards face down, everyone "cuts for deal".
Highest card deals first (10 would be 7.5, 7 is very good). Deal will
go from highest draw to lowest. Very important: you cannot leave
the game until after you have dealt. That's why dealing first is great,
dealing last has been known to result in "Brain Damage."
Dealer takes deck, deals one card face down to first player, one
card face down to self. Player looks at card, then bets any amount
of beer, a large shot glass is usually a good limit.
Player keeps first card face down, and can take as many hits as he
wants. If he goes over 7.5, he must announce that fact, and then
drink the bet. If not, when he stops, dealer turns over his card, and
then hits until he thinks he has the player beat. If dealer busts, he
drinks the bet.
When the dealer is satisfied with his hand, the player turns over his
card. Lower total drinks. Ties mean player drinks. The dealer then
goes to the next player, repeating the process until the deck is
exhausted.
If the player gets a "five card charlie" (5 cards, not busted), he
wins immediately, dealer cannot draw, dealer loses even with a 10 in
hand. If player draws to 7.5, dealer can of course try to tie (win).
If the dealer begins dealing begins with six or less cards, the penalty
is to deal again. WIth six or less cards, dealer lays them face down,
the player bets, they both draw a card, loser drinks (tie == player
drinks).
Play continues until everyone has dealt.
