How to play Drink 'Em

A drinking video game for up to eight players. Four steps. Somehow, someone will still ask what we're doing.

1. Get the game. Summon the usual suspects.

Install Drink 'Em on Xbox or Windows PC via Steam. Same game, same cards, same opportunity to embarrass your most competitive friend.

2. Controllers out. Egos ready.

Connect a compatible controller per player to the same Xbox or PC. Use one shared screen and follow the joining prompts. Blaming the controller comes later.

3. Pick your argument.

Choose minigames, team games or party cards. Would You Rather and Vote To Drink are also excellent ways to learn too much about your friends.

4. Play. Gloat. Demand a rematch.

Read the round instructions, play, then check the results and drinking prompts. The friend who "wasn't trying" was absolutely trying.

Not drinking? Use the Non-Drinking option. The trash talk works just fine without alcohol.
