Irish Poker

Irish Poker is a classic drinking game where the tension builds as cards are flipped and predictions are put to the test! With a simple deck of cards, you can quickly start guessing, drinking, and having fun. It's perfect for groups looking for a relaxed, social game. How to Play: 1. Deal 4 cards to each player, face down. No one looks at their cards. 2. Players take turns flipping one card per round, making a prediction before each flip. **First Card**: Guess the color: 'Red' or 'Black.' If correct, choose someone to drink. If wrong, you drink. **Second Card**: Guess if the card is 'Higher' or 'Lower' than the first card. If correct, choose someone to take 2 drinks. If wrong, you take 2 drinks. **Third Card**: Guess if the card is 'Inside' or 'Outside' the values of the first two cards. If correct, choose someone to take 3 drinks. If wrong, you take 3 drinks. **Fourth Card**: Guess the suit: 'Clubs,' 'Hearts,' 'Spades,' or 'Diamonds.' If correct, choose someone to take 4 drinks. If wrong, you take 4 drinks. Variations: - Before starting, players can flip their cards face down to double the drink values, but penalties for wrong guesses are doubled too! - After all cards are revealed, use them for a new round of similar games, like 'Pyramid' or 'Ride the Bus.' Why Play? Irish Poker, known by many names, is a drinking game classic. It's easy to learn, quick, and doesn't demand full attention, making it ideal for a night of casual drinking and conversation. The game also allows for house rules and variations, so you can make it your own!
