How To Play Drunk Stoned Or Stupid?
The first step would be to get a deck of Drunk Stoned or Stupid. These prompt cards will tell you what to argue about. If you don’t have these cards, you don’t have a way of playing one of the best drinking games, right? Then, gather a bunch of friends who want to have a good time, elect a judge, and let loose!
Objective
The objective of drinking games is to have the most fun you can, and Drunk Stoned or Stupid is no exception to the idea. However, you can lose in this game if you are the first to have 7 cards against you. Not sure how to do that? Allow us to explain.
Drunk Stoned Or Stupid Rules
What makes Drunk Stoned or Stupid a perfect drinking game, if you ask? Well, for starters, there are no complications concerning remembering, pairing, swapping, etc. The only way to win is to have heaps of fun. However, you can only lose this game. If 7 cards are stacked against you, you lose. The alternative method for this is called ‘Nice Rules,’ and there is only one winner in that method. Let’s learn about the Drunk Stoned Or Stupid Rules in more detail.
1. Classic Rules
The ‘classic rules’ of Drunk Stoned or Stupid are the standard way of playing the game. Here are the Drunk Stoned or Stupid rules for this version:
- All players mutually vote and elect a judge.
- The judge then shuffles the entire deck of prompt cards and plants it face-down on a table.
- Then, the judge picks out one prompt card and reads out the text written on that card.
- After that, all the players get to debate, argue, and make cases to decide which fits that bill best (all in good fun).
- The judge then evaluates the validity of the arguments and decides who they think is the most apt for that card and description. The player is handed (also called being ‘tagged’) that card along with a negative score of -1.
- Then, the turn rotates clockwise, and the player to the left of the original judge becomes the judge.
- The play proceeds similarly.
- Once a player has 7 cards to their name (acquiring a total of -7 points), one round ends.
- Once the round is done, all the players read out the cards they have been tagged with.
Tips: You can form alliances in each round to avoid getting tagged with 7 cards before everyone else. However, remember that every alliance can break at a time during the game!
2. Nice Rules
An alternative way of playing this game is called ‘Nice Rules.’ Basically, the rules for this version are the opposite of the Classic Rules. There is only one winner here, and the way to win is to get more cards. This game is apt for playing with people you don’t know too well. Here are the rules of this version:
- All players mutually vote and elect a judge.
- The judge then shuffles the entire deck and plants it face-down on a table.
- Then, the judge picks out one card and reads out the text written on that card.
- After that, all the players must debate and make strong points about why they deserve the cards.
- The judge then evaluates the validity of the arguments and decides who they think is the most apt for that card and description. The player is handed that card and awarded a +1 point.
- Then, the turn rotates clockwise, and the player to the left of the original judge becomes the judge.
- The play proceeds similarly.
- Once a player has 7 cards to their name (acquires a total of +7 points), one round ends, and the player with 7 cards is declared the winner.
- Once the round is done, all the players read out the cards they have been tagged with.
3. Vote Variation
If you think the judge is having a little too much fun at your expense, don’t worry – there is a version where you can also stick it to the judge. This version is called the Vote Variation. Here are the rules:
- You can play the Vote Variation version of this game with both the Classic Rules and the Nice Rules Version. However, it’s definitely more fun with the Classic Rules.
- In this version of the game, the judge is not exempt from the Drunk, Stoned, or Stupid cards.
- If all the players agree that the judge fits the description for one or more cards, the judge will be tagged with that card.
- Once tagged with a prompt card, the judge loses their power, and the next player becomes the judge.
Setting Up
To set up the game, you first need a deck of ‘Drunk Stoned or Stupid’ cards, which are available online. Each deck consists of 250 prompt cards (expansion packs come with an additional 125 cards). You can easily obtain that online or at any game store near you. Then, the players need to sit around a table or gather around and elect a judge responsible for picking cards, reading out descriptions, evaluating arguments, and tagging specific players with those cards. At the end of each round, the judge may calculate the total score and declare the winner.
Winning
If you are following the Classic Rules, then unfortunately for the loser, every player wins. Technically, there are no winners in this version of the game. Only the player who is tagged with 7 prompt cards (-7 score) loses. However, if you follow the Nice Rules, the winner is the player who is tagged with the most cards (+7) points.
