The bar game

Drink Go

Draft drinks, pass the rest, and score the combinations you end up holding. Three rounds against the residents. Nobody is keeping the drinks they take.Demo. You play the residents; the holders-only tables and the shared Tab come later.

How it works

The rules

A drafting game. Everyone picks one card from their hand at the same time, lays it face up, and passes the rest to the left. When the hands run out, the round is scored. Three rounds, then a bonus round that deals nothing and settles the game-end scores.

The table

  • 120 cards. Every one of them is dealt by the end.
  • 3 to 6 hands. With two players the Bar is dealt in as a third hand that drafts at random, counts for Water and Boba, and never scores.
  • Hands pass to the left every pick.
  • Coffee, Moonshine, Boba, Juice sets and Solo Cups score on the round they are drafted in. Water Bottles and cocktail types carry across the whole game.

Game end

  • Water Bottle. Most held +30, fewest held −30. Ties split the points, rounded down. Holding none counts as fewest.
  • Full Bar. At least one of all five cocktails by game end, +50.

Solo Cups

  • A cup is worth nothing on its own. It multiplies one Wine or IPA drafted in the same round: Red ×2, Blue ×3.
  • The Beer Keg wants two cups. Any pair ×2, two Blue ×3. One cup on a Keg does nothing.
  • Cups pour themselves wherever they earn the most.
