Finally a drinking game that includes everyone in the room! Drinking Mate is playable with 2 or more players. After years of playing the same drinking games were half the players lose interest after five minutes, we decided to make a drinking game that includes everyone in a funny and sometimes educational way. How do you play? Each turn you get an amount of times something has to be named. You will need to name everything from 6 Presidents of the United States to 8 TV Series. You start by letting everyone know what's supposed to be named that round. Name one yourself and then it's the player to your right's turn to name one and so on until the amount is reached. If the time runs out before the amount is reached everyone must take a sip. Anyone can say pass, but those who do must take a sip of their drink. After the round is done you pass the phone to the player on your right which will be starting in the next round.
