Blow the Card
Deck on top of a bottle, take turns blowing: whoever blows off all or none of the cards drinks.
How do you play Blow the Card?

Whoever blows off all the remaining cards – or none at all – drinks.
Variations
- One card too many: whoever blows off the last card may set a rule instead of drinking.
- Call it: announce how many cards will fall before you blow – get it wrong and you drink.
- On a glass: put the deck on a glass instead of a bottle – the rim is wider and blowing is harder.
Tips
Use a full, stable bottle so nothing tips over, and keep drinks away – the deck likes to fly across the table.
