TUTORIAL

Given the complexity of this game, I have included a small tutorial.  This illustrates an excerpt of a game between players named Josh, Chad, Mike, Stef and Mark.  

It pretty much covers 99% of what you can expect in a typical game.  After you read this, you might want to brush up on the rules for weird situations.

Beers are ready, cards are dealt.  Let's play...

The prime numbers add up to 7.  Chad, Mike and Mark must all drink for 7, because they have prime numbers.

Most hands will go just like the one illustrated above.

Count to 30

Mike

Wild Draw Four

Distributes 30 seconds to Stef & counts to 30

Stef

4

Drinks for 30 seconds

Mark

5

Count to 30

The WDF trumps everything (except the Ocho Rojo).  No one has to drink except whoever Mike assigns the time to.  

Since Stef kept complaining about having to finish his beer, Mike decides to make Stef drink the total 30 seconds.  (7+5+5)x2=34...but the maximum is 30.  

In this case, Stef cannot use his token on the 30 seconds he recieved...since it was specifically assigned to him via a WDF.

Chad

7

Drinks for 15

Mike

1

Drinks for 30

Stef

5

Uses token on Mike; counts to 30

Mark

Wild

Receives token; counts to 30

Things are starting to get interesting.  Stef is pissed at Mike, so he uses his token to essentially double Mike's drinking time.  Note: Josh and Chad only drink for the original 15.  Mike must drink 30 because he has 15 PLUS Stef's 15.  Mark laughs because he hasn't had to drink in a long time, plus now he has a token.

Drinks for 11

Stef

Draw Two

Forgets to count; penalties ensue

Mark

5

Drinks for 11

Stef forgets to count, thereby subject to the Lazy Bitch penalty.  He swears he counted and won't take the Lazy Bitch penalty.  Everyone agrees he's full of shit...now he has a Lazy Bitch penalty AND a Just Like a Bitch penalty.  He must drink for 10.  (5+5)

Mark forgot to count during Stef's penalty.  Mark is also a Lazy Bitch and drinks for 5.  He cannot use his token to pass a penalty.

Stef

Wild Draw Four

Distributes 14 to himself; drinks for 14

Mark

Red 8

Must finish beer; receives token

Stef gets the WDF.  He has 14 to distribute ( (2+5)x2 ).  In an act of pure manliness, Stef takes the 14 seconds for himself.  Mark receives his second token.

 

This concludes the tutorial.
