It's perfect for playing with housemates. It's a game that works best in small groups of people who know each other quite well (or where everyone has at least one person they know well). You might have seen Mr and Mrs played at weddings, but it actually works pretty well as a drinking game too. The aim of the game is to get rid of all your cards first. The last person to do so has to drink, and take all the cards from the pile in the middle. Everyone must shout "snap" and place (or violently slam in most cases) their hand on top of the pile of cards in the middle of the table. The snap bit comes in when the number you say out loud matches the number on the card you put down. So the first person to play their card says "Ace", the second says "two", the third says "three" and so on. When you place down your card, you have to say a value as you do so, starting with Ace and going all the way up to King before starting again. Take it in turns to go around the circle placing a card in the centre of the table, only turning it upright as you put it down. Make sure you don't look at your cards! Keep them face down in your hand or on the table in front of you. It's also best to try and clear the area as much as possible, keeping drinks on the floor, and removing any hand jewellery such as rings (you'll see why soon).ĭish out all the cards so everyone has an even amount (put any spares to the side).
Make sure everyone is sat around a table and is able to reach the centre.
Stick to a small group of people for Irish Snap. It's called Friends and Enemies for a reason. If someone has been chosen to drink for seven seconds, you don't have to save them with a seven if you don't want to. You have to wait and hope someone else saves you instead. You can't save yourself! If you've been chosen to drink, you can't save yourself with one of your own cards.All picture cards (Jack, Queen and King) count as tens.This means if the odds aren't in your favour, you could be drinking for up to 20 seconds (or even longer for the higher-value cards). That means that when they pass on the drinking it doubles up to ten seconds, and so on until all the fives have been dealt. However, there's a twist! If someone else in the group has a card with the same number (the five of hearts, for example) they can 'save' the chosen person and pass the drinking on to someone else (gaining a friend but also making an enemy). The chosen person must drink for as many seconds as the number on the card (five seconds for the five of spades, for example). Whoever goes first picks a card and places it in the middle of the table, saying the name of someone in the group as they do so. Each player needs to keep their cards hidden. Take a pack of cards and deal them out evenly to everyone in the circle. Not for the faint-hearted, the Friends and Enemies drinking game has been known to break even the best of friendships.
