‘Blow Me’Players: 2+Buzz Factor: 8Simplicity: 10

This game is very easy to set up and play, and it works for any amount of players. Plus, you get the amusing additional factor of being able to say, ‘Hey, do you have any cards? Come on. Blow me,’ in a drunken state.

First get a full deck of cards and an empty opened beer bottle. Stack the cards on top of the bottle, loosely packed, and get all players in a circle around it.

Whoever goes first leans in close and blows onto the deck at whatever intensity they wish, until at least one card is knocked off.

The player examines the fallen cards. If they are a two through 10, nothing happens and the turn passes to the next blower. But if at least one is a face card, the player must drink accordingly. One second for a jack, two for a queen, three for a king and four for an ace. If there is more than one face card in the pile, then the player must add the two numbers together. For example, if there is a queen and a king, the player drinks for five seconds.

The game continues until the last card is blown off the bottle. When this happens, the blower is forced to down the rest of whatever they are drinking, gather up all the cards, restack them on the bottle (which becomes more hilarious as more alcohol is consumed) and the game begins again.
