PLAYED FOR YOU

 

Welcome to the Czech Pub

Beer and a shot of Rum

 

Last year the company made health a game topic with Infarct, ranging from beer to being overweight, this year the topic is only beer and good mood in the pub. We are meant to visit the pub with the explicit purpose to drink as much as we can.

You start the game with seven cards; order cards are used to drink and pub cards are used to get entangled with others or do something else, like pour a shot of rum into their beer. Both kinds of cards cost action points for use; orders also earn you points, but also increase your drunkenness, which makes the game harder to play for you.

The game is played in rounds, in turn you can 1) draw cards depending on your level of drunkenness; 2) play cards: each one costs action points, you can spend three of them; all others can now play pub cards marked with „x“ 3) score the turn - you count points won, beers etc and mark the result; then 4) you discard cards and draw cards. Then dice are rolled for the level of drunkenness; depending on the roll result and in relation to the number of beers consumed in this turn, regardless of how you acquired them, you level of drunkenness rises or falls.

The game ends when the pub closes or when you are too drunk and are not served by the barman any more. You win as the last one in play or with most drunkenness points.

Well; all this is rather whimsical topic wise and, when you look closely, a kind of perverse recourses management; you are thrown out of the pub for being too drunk or being not enough drunk and you need to be entirely sober to handle the rules. If you balance this you could have fun with this party game among friends.
