Rules of Fuck the Dealer

Here’s how the game works:

1. Set Up

• Choose a player to be the first dealer. A popular way to decide is by having everyone draw a card—the player with the lowest card becomes the dealer. (Aces are low.)
• Shuffle the deck and place it face down in the center of the table.

2. How to Play

• The dealer starts by drawing the top card of the deck, keeping it hidden.
• The player to their left guesses the value of the card (e.g., 7, Queen, etc.).
• If the guess is wrong:
  
  • The dealer hints whether the actual card is higher or lower.
  • The player gets a second guess.

3. Drinking Penalties

• If the player guesses incorrectly twice, they drink the difference between their second guess and the card’s value.
  (Example: If they guessed 5 and the card is 9, they drink 4 sips.)
• If the player guesses correctly on their:
  
  • First guess: The dealer drinks 4 sips.
  • Second guess: The dealer drinks 2 sips.

4. Passing the Deck

• If the dealer survives three consecutive players guessing wrong, the role of the dealer passes to the next player clockwise.
• Used cards are placed face-up in a discard pile, making it easier to track what’s left in the deck.

Pro Tips & Variations

Tips for Winning

• Track the Discards: Pay attention to the cards already revealed. This improves your chances of making an educated guess.
• Start in the Middle: Guesses like 6, 7, or 8 give you the best odds on the first try.
• Mind Games: As a dealer, bluffing or subtle reactions can mislead players into making poor guesses.

Optional Rules

• Dumbass Rule: If someone guesses a card already in the discard pile, they take a penalty drink for not paying attention.
• Double or Nothing: Players can bet double drinks by guessing both the suit and value correctly on the first try. High risk, high reward!
• Dealer’s Revenge: If two consecutive players fail to guess correctly, the dealer can make a player of their choice take a shot.
