If you like UNO you'll love this game Rules and Regulations

Supplies:

A Deck of Cards / Lot's and lot's of Alcohol (preferably beer)

Game Instructions:

If you like UNO then you'll probably like this game. Up to six players can play at one time. Yes, you can include more people in the game but the more people involved the less drinking that goes around.
Let's jump into the knit and gritty:

* Kings = Brings the total to 99
* Ten's = -10
* Nine's = 0
* Four's = Reverse
* Jokers = 0
* Aces = 1 or 11
* Face Cards = 10
* All Other Cards = Face Value

To begin the game the dealer deals the cards out clockwise with the last card turned over in the center. This card begins the count up to 99.

Here's an example of a quick game:

The dealer lays a jack face up on the table, which starts the count at "10", the next player drops a seven bringing the count to "17". The next player adds a king, which automatically brings the count to "99", the next player drops a nine, which leaves the total at "99" and so the game continues in this fashion until a player can't play his her cards because their card will exceed the "99" limit.

The rules are as follows:

* A king may be played at anytime, which automatically brings the total to "99".
* Players may play any card in their hand as long as it doesn't exceed "99".
* If the dealer lays down an ace to begin the game, then the next player may choose whether that cards value is a "1" or an "11".
* If a player has no card in their hand that will enable them to continue the game without exceeding "99". Then the game ends and that player must consume his or her drink.
* When a joker is played, it counts as "0" but everyone must take a sip of their drink.
* When a "four" (reverse) is played, the player reversed on must consume a sip of their drink.
* Anytime a player plays the same card as the previous player, the previous player must consume. If the next player plays the same card as the other two, then the previous...previous player must consume two drinks, and the previous player one drink.
