This is a card betting game which requires you to bet an amount of alcohol on the next card to be flipped over.

The dealer gives two cards to each player and they are placed face down. Taking turns, each participant turns over their cards, betting a certain amount of drink in number of fingers on whether or not they think the next card to be turned over will be a value between both cards in front of them.

Once the card has been turned over, if it has a value outside of the two cards, the player wins the bet and then needs to nominate another player to drink the amount betted on. If the value of the card turned over is a value between the two cards then the participant loses the bet and needs to drink the amount the bet specified. If the card turned over is of equal value to one of the cards then the player needs to drink double the bet!

With all the cards turned up until everyone has had a turn, the round is complete and the deck is reshuffled. Note that aces are the lowest value card in this game.

For example, a player turns over a 2 and an 8 and bets four fingers as the drinking penalty. If a queen is then turned over then the player can nominate an opponent to drink the bet amount. However, if a 6 is turned over, then the player must drink the amount specified instead. If the player is unlucky enough to turn over a 2 or and 8 then he must drink double the amount of the bet!
