Much like turning the amp up to eleven was critical to Spinal Tap’s success, playing Thirty-One is, like, ten times better than just playing blackjack. Also, there’s beer involved.

What You Need: Beer, a deck of cards, basic math skills.

Players: Two, but you should probably hit until you get three.

Level of Intoxication: It’s like black-out blackjack.

How to Play:

- Like blackjack, the game has one dealer and several players.

- A round begins with all players receiving three cards, two face-down and one face-up.

- The cards are worth the number indicated on the face. Face cards are worth 10. Aces are worth 1 or 11.

- The dealer circles around the table. Players must receive a card or knock.

- If a player knocks, each other player has the opportunity to draw one more card.

- Players reveal their cards. The player with the lowest total loses.

- Any player that busts also loses.

- Losers must drink an entire beer before they lose their next hand.

- The deal is passed to the left before the next round begins.

The Game Ends When: Someone gets hit for hitting one too many times.
