Asshole drinking game & card game

Here you will find advantages, disadvantages, instructions, tips and variations on the game.

What is needed to play?

1 deck of cards
Drinks

Advantages:

Popular & well-known card game
Simple rules & quick to understand
Dynamic play length

Disadvantages

Relatively monotonous

Game preparation:

All cards in a set are dealt evenly to the players. (2 card sets from 7 players)

Simple instructions for the game:

The player who starts lays any card or several cards of the same value (e.g. two 7s or a 10) on the table.
(Preferably as low as possible, as it is harder to get rid of them).
The next player must play the same number of cards with a higher value (e.g. two 9s or a jack). If he cannot or does not want to, he must pass and take a drink.
(2 higher cards must always be placed on 2 cards, then 3 higher cards on 3, etc.)
This continues until all players have passed. The last player to lay a card begins the next round.
The aim: Be the first to get rid of all your cards! The first will be the King.
The last one who still has tickets is the Asshole and must drink 3.

Rules for the next round

The king gives the asshole a card that he chooses (usually the worst).
The asshole has to give the king his best card.

Additional rules and variants:

Jokers can also be used, which are the highest cards and can beat any other card.
In some variants, there are additional ranks such as the runner-up (second place) and the runner-up asshole (penultimate place).
The number of cards exchanged between king and asshole can vary (e.g. 2 or 3 cards).
Special rules can also be introduced, e.g. that certain card combinations (e.g. four identical cards) have a higher value.

Tips for the asshole drinking game - how to become king in the asshole card game

To become king at the asshole card game, there are a few simple tips that can help you - even if luck plays a big role.

Get rid of low cards first: Try to discard your lowest cards such as sevens, eights and nines at the start of the game. It becomes more difficult to get rid of these later on.
Use high cards cleverly: Do you only have a few high cards such as aces or kings? Use them sparingly. Sometimes it's better to pass a round to save these cards for a crucial moment.
Tactically swap cards: If you are king or vice-king, you receive cards from the asshole or vice-asshole. Do you already have two or three cards of the same number? Request them from the asshole to make a three of a kind or four of a kind.

These simple tricks will increase your chances of becoming king and not ending up as an asshole.
