The absolute best part about social distancing is that you can convince your family/housemates to play board games with you and chances are, they won’t have anything better to do.
And do you know what’s better than a board game? A drinking game. Specifically, this deck of Drunk UNO cards.
The pub is closed, you can’t go to your friends’ house, so what the hell else are you going to do? So, if you’re wondering what major life lesson this period of social distancing is trying to teach us, it’s that any game can become a drinking game if you try hard enough.
If you’re lucky enough to not be completely alone in isolation, I’d suggest you pick up a deck of Drunk UNO cards to get you through the coronavirus pandemic, and through every pre-drinks for the rest of time.
If you can’t be bothered investing in the official Drunk UNO deck, the rules are simple enough for you to play with your regular ol’ deck.
To kick off the game, everyone needs to take a shot. You know, because everything is more fun after a shot.
After that, the rules are pretty simple:
If you draw two, you take a shot. Draw four is equal to two shots (which will probably have you tapping out of the game).
To make matters worse, reverse cards force the person who it’s reversed to take a shot and if you’re “skipped”, you also need to take a shot.
And finally, if you forget to call UNO, you’re slapped with a nasty three-shot penalty. THREE. SHOT. PENALTY.
If you’re a lightweight, this will probably have you vomiting in the bathroom.
Obviously, you can adapt a regular UNO set to become Drunk UNO if you’re short on cash. But if you’re down to invest in a lifetime of fun, there are dozens of editions of Drunk UNO on the market, complete with shot glasses for your drinking pleasure.
The only question left to ask is what are we drinking?
