Douchebag: The Card Game
Douchebag is a drinking game which uses a deck of cards, and involves both violence and binge drinking. Similar to a power-hour, Douchebag uses shots of beer as the drinking unit, however, unlike a power-hour, it is cards, not time which determines the amount of drinks a player must consume. The game is rated for 2 or more players.
The Rules
Douchebag is a game composed of 6 phases. These are:
* Setup
* Initial Pull
* Drinking
* Secondary Pull
* Punching
* Repetition
Setup
The setup phase starts the game. A deck of cards (with jokers removed to make only 52 cards) is shuffled and cut, and the cards are then distrubted into 5 piles of 10 cards, in a star shape. The dealing is done in a clockwise fashion starting from the top position.
The remaining two cards are placed in the center of the pile.
Initial Pull
The "dealer" or player which shuffled the cards and placed them into piles pulls a card from one pile, and a second card from a different pile. The dealer then subtracts the lower value card from the higher value card. Face cards are worth the following:
* Jack - 11
* Queen - 12
* King - 13
* Ace - 15 (or 1, depending on player preference or rule variation)
The dealer then chooses another player to be "The Bitch". Note, the dealer may not choose the former dealer (The Douchebag) as The Bitch if the game has more than 2 players.
Drinking
The Bitch, as chosen by the dealer, must then drink shots of beer equal to the difference of the cards pulled by the dealer. (Ex. The dealer pulls a 5 and a 3, the difference is 2, the bitch must drink 2 shots of beer). Once the bitch finishes his two shots of beer, he becomes the new "Dealer", and the old dealer becomes "The Douchebag".
Second Pull
The new dealer (the former bitch) now pulls a single card from a pile (if applicable, not a pile which the dealer has pulled a card from). The new dealer now punches the "Douchebag" in the arm a number of times equal to the value of the card pulled.
Repetition
Game play returns to the "Initial Pull" phase, unless no cards remain. If there are no valid piles left, the current dealer picks one player to be "The Last Bitch" and becomes "The Ultimate Douchebag". The middle two cards are flipped, and the Last Bitch drinks a number of shots equal to the sum of the final two cards, and punches the Ultimate Douchebag in the arm the same amount of times (see rule variations for possible changes).
Rule Variations
* Pussyplay - The ace is worth 1, and the Last Bitch drinks and punches the difference of the final two cards, instead of the sum.
* Assplay - The ace is worth 15.
* Full Circle - Instead of the Dealer choosing "The Bitch", the "Bitch" is the player to the immideate right (or left, depending on preference) of The Dealer.
