Going on a night out with the same friends could get a bit boring when there's nothing new to talk about. Similarly, having drinks with newer friends could also get a bit awkward because you don't know them well enough yet. In both cases, you can liven up the night and loosen up your collars with a drinking card game. Not only will they get everyone tipsy, but you'll have a blast as well.

Technically, you can turn most card games into a drinking game, by making the loser of the round drink. However, we've decided to list down some card games that have been specially tailored for the occasion. From personality-based to skill-based, here are our favourite drinking card games.

Updated on March 17, 2024, by Vaspaan Dastoor: There's always an occasion to party. And where there's a party, there are drinks. If you're looking for a way liven things up a bit, you can try throwing in a drinking game. We've updated this list with just a few more drinking card games for your next party.

These Cards Will Get You Drunk is great for when you want to play something, but don't want to think too hard. All you have to do is pick up a card and follow the relatively simple instructions. At the end of it, someone will take a sip of their drink, and the card game will have succeeded in living up to its name.

Drunk Stoned or Stupid will surely get you drunk, but it will also soꦬber you up with the harsh truth of what your friends really think about you. While this is a fun personality-based game, there areℱ chances that someone may not like the fact that you pointed at them. So, just be prepared in case things get a bit heated.

Tipsy Chicken adds a fun twist to the Truth or Dare formula. If you can't perform a certain dare, you're given a Chicken card that acts as a nerf, and makes you drink more. However, completing the task and picking up the Goat card gives you the ability to make the other players drink whenever you want to.

Truth or Drink is based on a popular YouTube series of the same name. However, unlike the show, it's hard to imagine you're going to be playing this one with your partner's mother. However, it has a number of expansion packs, each catered to a different kind of audience and occasion. It's a simple enough game where you either get drunk or spill your secrets.

Task-based games often face𝐆 the risk of all being too similar. However, much like its name, Sotal♔ly Tober does a good job in setting itself apart. The unique classification of cards dictates who the task will affect and how it will change the dynamic of the game entirely.

And finally, here's one for when it's just you and your partner having a romantic night in. Dizzy Date throws steamy tasks and questions your way in order to spice things up. Of course, there's also a lot of drinking involved. Obviously, this card game is meant for you and a special someone(s), so make sure you don't bring it out during a night with friends or relatives.

Cards Against Humanity is an all-time classic card game, mostly because it lets people tap into their dark humour. While it isn't a traditional drinking game, it can easily become one with the change of a few rules. Instead of points, rank the cards from best to worst, with worst having to drink the most and best having to drink the least. It also gets funnier the more drunk you are, so it totally complements the concept. What's more, the card game has multiple editions that tend to get way more NSFW than the regular pack. But, there's also a family edition for a drinks night with the parents.

Never Have I Ever is a classic drinking game, not only because it makes you spill secrets, but also because it's really simple to play, especially while tipsy. With the card game, you won't have those breaks in the game where one person needs to think of a nice question to ask. But that also means you'll be playing much faster, and getting way more tipsy; not that that's a bad thing. The card game features multiple editions, ranging from family friendly, to straight-up NSFW, so make sure you pick up the right one for the occasion.

The whole point of the Fluxx games is that the rules will keep on changing. This will make it hard for players to keep track of things, especially when they're drinking. Every time someone messes up, they need to have a drink, making the next round more difficult than the last. I'll be quite the achievement if you manage to make it through the whole deck.

The gameplay loop for Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza is relatively simple, and will remain the same for the drinking game ꩵversion. However, everytime someone messes up, or is the last one to reach for the card, they need to drink. This will make successive rounds tougher to keep track of.

Unlike many older drinking games, Do or Drink actually gives you tasks that you'd be embarrassed to recall. You;re going to want to make light drinks, as some of these tasks may seem too bold for you to perform, even among friends.

You Laugh You Drink changes the formula that most drinking games adopt. You'll take turns trying to make the targeted person laugh by performing the ridiculous tasks mentioned on the cards. If they manage to keep a straight face, everyone else has to have a drink.
