Indian Poker / Blind Man's Bluff, Drinking Game Rules

Category: Card Games · Players: 3+ · You’ll need: 52-card deck; drinks

Everyone can see your card except you. Bet on whether yours is the highest at the table.

Setup: Deal each player one card face-down. Without peeking, everyone lifts their card and holds it against their forehead facing outward, you can see everyone's card but your own. Aces high.

How to play:

1. Look around. Based on what everyone else is holding, decide how confident you are in your own mystery card.
2. Going around the table, each player either stays in or folds. Folding costs 2 sips, but you're safe.
3. Everyone still in reveals. The lowest card among them drinks 5 sips (ties: all lowest drink). Highest card gives out 2 sips.

Redeal and go again. The comedy is folding with a King on your head, or staying in proudly with a 2.

Indian Poker / Blind Man's Bluff, Variations

• Betting rounds: Add a poker-style round, players may raise the sip stakes before reveals, and folding early costs only 1.
• Two-card foreheads: Everyone holds two cards up; highest total wins, doubles the reads and the comedy.
• Liar's round: Players may make one spoken claim about someone else's card per round, true or false, to shake confidence.
