Brain Damage
Type of Drinking Game: Card Game
Supplies Needed: Deck of Cards with all 8s, 9s and the red 10s removed
# Players: 2+
Buzz Factor: Fun Buzz
Game Rating: 7
Instructions:
A fun game similar to Blackjack but you may receive blank stares from some after explaining it. Don't worry because after a quick round of play everyone will understand the game much better.
The ranks of the cards are:
Face cards = .5 points
Aces = 1.0 point
2-7 = Face Value
10s = Wild(equal anything you want)
The game is played just like BlackJack but to 7.5 points.
First, lay out the shuffled deck of cards face down.
Choose a dealer: Everyone 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 the player 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 the deal 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.
