Here’s how to play the Blind Squirell drinking game.

What You’ll Need To Play Blind Squirell

  1. Beer and Hard Liquor: For drinking penalties.
  2. Deck of Cards (Including Jokers): Used for the guessing game.
  3. Dice: For determining drinks with the Joker cards.

Number of Players

  • 2 or more players: Ideal for small to large groups.

Objective

To guess whether the next card will be higher or lower than the current one, or to predict the exact card, with drinking penalties based on the accuracy of guesses.

Game Setup

  • Seating Arrangement: Players sit around a table with the deck of cards and drinks within easy reach.
  • Starting the Game: Designate a dealer to begin the game, with the deck shuffled and placed face down.

Blind Squirell Drinking Game Rules

  1. Guessing Higher or Lower:
    • The dealer flips the first card face up and asks the player to their right to guess if the next card will be higher or lower.
    • If the guess is incorrect (regarding higher or lower), the guesser drinks and remains the guesser.
    • If correct, the guesser becomes the new dealer.
  2. Guessing the Exact Card:
    • Players can also guess the exact card.
    • Incorrect exact guesses lead to drinking the difference in value between the guessed card and the actual card.
    • Correct exact guesses allow the guesser to distribute drinks to others.
  3. Special Rules for Ties and Jokers:
    • Ties: If a tie occurs (the next card matches the current card), the guesser takes a shot. Correctly guessing a tie means everyone else takes a shot.
    • First Joker: If shown without a correct guess, the guesser rolls the dice twice, drinking the sum of the rolls. Correctly guessing the first Joker lets the guesser distribute that sum of drinks.
    • Second Joker: If shown without a correct guess, the guesser shotguns a beer alone. Correctly guessing the second Joker forces everyone to shotgun a beer.
  4. Ending the Game:
    • The game ends when the second Joker is drawn or the deck is finished.

Game Safety

  • Drink Responsibly: Monitor alcohol intake to ensure the game remains fun and safe for everyone.
  • Non-Alcoholic Options: Use non-alcoholic drinks for those who prefer not to consume alcohol.
