The Tourettes drinking game is a card drinking game that has been a staple at my parties for years. The name may be a little out dated and even a little offensive so feel free to rename it. This game is very simple to play, and more importantly very simple to teach! Even the drunkest idiots can figure out how to play the Tourettes drinking game.
How Many Players for Tourettes
For this drinking game it is recommended to have at least 3 people. The best part about Tourettes is it can be played with upwards up 20 people, so you can include the whole party id you wish.
Supplies
All you need is a deck of cards and some booze
Setup
The set up for Tourettes is easy. Have the party sit in a circle with a drink in front of them. Select one player to be the dealer.
Each card is represented by the first letter of the word of that card. Here is a cheat sheet:
- Ace = A
- Two = T
- Three = T
- Four = F
- Five = F
- Six = S
- Seven = S
- Eight = E
- Nine = N
- Ten = T
- Jack = J
- Queen = Q
- King = K
How to Play Tourettes
- The game is played in short 1V1 rounds where the dealer goes around the circle challenging each player. The dealer will start with the player on their right and flip over the first card in the deck. Quickly the dealer and competing player must blurt out a word the starts with that cards letter. (For example if an Ace is pulled the opponents can yell Apple, Asshole, Architecture, or any creative A word in there vocabulary). The first person to come up with a word wins.
- If the opponent wins they now become the dealer and challenge the person to their right.
- If the dealer wins, the opponent must take a drink. The dealer must now challenge the next player in line.
- Once a word is said, the word is dead and cannot be used for the remainder of the game. For example if one player says Apple and an A is drawn a couple rounds later they opponents must come up with a NEW Word.
- If the dealer can manage to remain the dealer for one full rotation (beat every player) all players must finish their drinks.
Remember please drink responsibly and do not drink & drive!
