This activity involves participants drawing cards from a standard deck, each card corresponding to a specific rule or action. Players take turns drawing and following the instruction associated with the card they draw, often involving drinking. The rules can vary widely depending on the group playing and the desired level of intensity, but generally, the game continues until all cards have been drawn or a pre-determined endpoint is reached.
Its cultural significance lies in its role as a social lubricant and icebreaker in informal settings. Its presence at social gatherings is often to promote interaction and create a lighthearted atmosphere. Historically, similar games involving cards and alcohol consumption have existed in various forms across different cultures, evolving over time into the more structured version seen today.
