Horse Race

Drinking Game Rules

Pick someone to be the announcer. The announcer will start by shuffling through the deck and picking out the four aces and laying them face up side by side at the end of the table. These aces will be the 'horses'. The announcer then picks between six and eight cards and lays them face down perpendicular to the aces along the side of the table.

Players then place bets on the 'horses'. Usually something like 'five on diamonds' is acceptable, but feel free to get as fancy as you want. Be warned though, if you lose you have to drink your own bet!


Then the game starts. The announcer starts by flipping over the first card of the deck. Only the suit matters. The ace that matches that suit advances down the line of cards. This continues until one of the aces passes the final link / card into the 'winners circle.'

Losers drink their bets, winners dole out their drinks to others.

BONUS RULE

If you so choose, you can add a 'jump' to the track by stacking two cards on the links instead of one. The suit must be drawn twice for the horse to clear the jump.
