A Case of Beer - Tourettes - [a case of the summer]


Naturally, I mean no offense to anybody suffering from this particular affliction.

This is, however, the first card game of this summer feature.  Here's how it works.

You shuffle your deck of cards and give the pile to one of the players.  This person will be your first dealer.  Going clockwise, the dealer will then compete against each player.  Once the dealer gets three consecutive victories, he passes the pile to the next person, and that person is now the new dealer.  This process continues until you finish the deck.

So how do you compete and win?

The dealer flips the top card over, and depending on the card denomination, the dealer and the person he/she's competing against must yell out a word that begins with that letter (for example, "9" would be "n," "10" would be "t," "2" would be "t," "King" would be "k," etc.)  The person who yells the word out first wins.  The loser has to take a swig of their drink (again, the dealer must win three consecutive duels before the task of dealer can be passed to the next person).  Of course, you cannot repeat words (this also brings upon fun arguments when people can say "No, that person said 'there.'  I meant 'their!'")  It's also quite funny seeing some of the words (often inappropriate) that people yell out when they're under pressure (or drunk).  And just he general looks and sounds people make while they're panicking can be hilarious.
