Welcome to the rules, D!PS#IT.
D!PS#IT is a high stakes drinking card game where the objective is to GET RID OF ALL YOUR CARDS.
Yea, good luck with that.
There are many twists and turns along this boozy road to victory, so be sure to carefully read ALL of the rules below. We are confident that within a game or two you’ll become professional Dip-S#!tters.
Deck Contents
60 D!PS#IT CARDS
These are the cards that will be shuffled and dealt out to all players. There are 5 suits in this deck (Top Hat, Pizza, Cat, Beer, Cone) and each suit is numbered 1 - 12.
40 ACTIVITY CARDS
These cards are to be drawn only when a game play action dictates, such as a Skip, or at the direction of another Activity Card. The Activity Cards are to be shuffled only once at the beginning of the first games played. Discard all drawn Activity Cards to the bottom of the Activity Card pile.
The Rules
D!PS#IT is best played with 2-9 players.
The D!PS#IT Card Deal:
2 Players: 10 cards
3-6 Players: 8 cards
7-9 Players: 6 cards
*The rule pictures below are only EXAMPLES of game play. The actual card arrangements will be different for every game that is played*
The Basics
Gather your favorite family and friends around a big ass table.
At the start of the first game, the player who has the 6 OF TOP HATS goes first and places the card in the middle of the table. This column is now exclusive to Top Hats.
If no one has the 6 of TOP HATs, whoever has the 6 of: CAT, then BEER, then PIZZA, then CONE, in that order, would go first. If no one has any SIXES, repeat the same card suit selection order for SEVENS until a player can go.
After the first card is played, the next player in clockwise rotation can then go by making one of two moves:
A. Playing a card in NUMERICAL order ABOVE or BELOW a card of the SAME SUIT that has already been played. (See Move Option A)
B. Playing a card of a DIFFERENT SUIT next to a card of the SAME NUMBER that has already been played. When the FIRST card of a NEW SUIT is played, that column is now EXCLUSIVE to cards of that suit. (See Move Option B)
You may only play ONE card per turn. If you do not have a valid card to play, you must draw one D!PS#IT Card and take a drink from your beverage of choice. This is the end of your turn.
The card you play must touch two corners of at least ONE card next to it.
If you can not go, and you draw a valid D!PS#IT Card, it may NOT be played until your next turn.
If you have a valid card in your hand at the beginning of your turn, it MUST be played.
Example Game - One Move at a Time
Suits Established
When one card from all 5 suits has been played, and the suits are all “established” in their respective columns like the example shown, there is a mandatory drinking social. Clink them glasses, people!
The player who established the 5th and final suit gets to pick an opponent to draw an Activity Card. The selected player will then draw the Activity Card and immediately perform the activity described.
The Skip (Activity Cards)
This is where the ACTIVITY CARDS come into play. Please also see the “HOUSE RULES” at the end for additional ways to play these cards*
Every time ALL FIVE SUITS of a NUMBER have been played and a row is completed like the example shown, the NEXT player is SKIPPED and is NOT allowed to play a D!PS#IT Card.
There is then a DRINKING SOCIAL (Cheers!) and the SKIPPED player draws ONE Activity Card. The activity described on the card must be performed before the next player’s turn.
The Reverse
Every time the column of any suit is completed all the way from 1 through 12, like the example shown, the game play order REVERSES and the next player in the opposite direction goes next.
The game play will continue in this order until a game action reverses the order again.
The Victory
The first player to get rid of all their cards is rightfully crowned the King or Queen Sh!T.
Congratulations, you are party Royalty!
The rest of the peasants continue to play until there is only one person remaining…
the
But wait, just a little more sh!t you need to know…
The Fine Print
When a game has ended, and the D!PS#IT (loser) has been determined, it is customary for the other players to yell “SHUFFLE THE CARDS, DIPSHIT!” while simultaneously pushing all the cards at them. The D!PS#IT will then shuffle and deal the cards for the next game.
For each additional game played after the first one, the King / Queen Shit (winner) of the previous game begins the next game by playing whatever D!PS#IT Card they want first. C’mon, they’ve earned it!
If you play a D!PS#IT Card in the incorrect spot, and you take your hand off the card, you must take the incorrect card back, you lose your turn, and draw a D!PS#IT Card as punishment.
If you play a D!PS#IT Card out of turn, and you take your hand off the card, you must take your card back, and draw a D!PS#IT Card as punishment.
When you are down to your last card, you must call out “LAST CARD” to the other players. If you do not say “last card” and an opponent calls you out on it, you must take a drink and draw a D!PS#IT Card as punishment.
After an Activity Card has been drawn, it should always be discarded to the BOTTOM of the Activity Card pile. The Activity Cards should NEVER be shuffled after the first game. This is to ensure that all Activity Cards are played evenly throughout the duration of game play. Gotta keep it fresh!
Above all have FUN, drink RESPONSIBLY, and NEVER EVER DRINK AND DRIVE! Kostibury LLC is NOT responsible for any idiotic decisions and harm you may inflict upon yourself before, during, or after you play this game. Play D!PS#IT Card Game at your own risk.
