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.

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.
