Drinking Games

Spoons

What You Will Need:

Atleast four people
Cards
A table
Metal Spoons
Beer 

How to Play:

Everyone gets a beer. Place some spoons equal to the number 
of players minus one in a pile over each other in the middle 
of the table in a 'flower-like' shape. 

Deal out 5-7 cards, depending on the number of players.
The dealer begins by drawing a card from the deck and either 
keeping it and discarding one from his hand or passing it on 
to the player at his right. The next player in line then 
looks at the card and does the same. Cards are passed 
completely around the table as many times as it takes. 

The object of the game is to be the first one player to 
obtain four-of-a-kind. Once someone has it he draws one 
spoon from the pile. As soon as one person draws a spoon 
everyone else must draw a spoon immediately, despite their 
hand. Naturally since there is one less spoon than there 
are players, someone will not get a spoon and they must 
drink whatever the designated quantity is. The deal is 
then passed to the "loser." 

Penalty drinks are levied against anyone who is caught 
with more than the original number of cards in their hand 
at any time during the game, or if someone is obviously 
ignoring the cards and watching the spoons. 

This game is best when played very fast, especially after 
the players have had a few beers already. If cards begin 
to pile up in front of a player it is perfectly legal to 
steal them from him. This encourages players to think fast. 

A couple other things make this game even more fun: 

If you get the four-of-a-kind, be sneaky when taking the
spoon. Most of the time the other players won't be paying
attention.
