Everybody has their own set of rules and here are what I consider my house rules and I've also included some good rules that you can implement if you get the oh-so-hilarious rule card.

Ace: Give + Take
Two: Give + Take

Red cards mean that you have to take the amount of sips on the card. Black cards mean you can give out that amount of drinks. When you draw a black two you may split 'em up or double-tap someone. I also distinctly remember a day where the one drink rule became the one shot rule. I don't remember the much of the rest of that day though...

Three: Rule Card
Time to be creative. Come up with a rule that can seriously change the game and seriously fuck people up. You can go with classics bans (no names, no swears, no pointing) which can work in tandem to absolutely annihilate people or you can let your imagination out. Another staple is the Little Green Man; he sits on your beer and you have to remove him and replace him before and after every drink in any means necessary. Bonus points for naming him. You can make the drink bitch bark like a dog and crawl on all fours, you can use the date rule in which every player has a partner and when one partner drinks they both drink. This card is what makes every game of Sociables something new.

Four: Shotgun
When you draw this card prepare yourself. When the last 4 is draw anyone in possession of a 4 will have to shotgun a beer. There aren't any double-barrel shotguns in this game though. If you draw a second 4 you have the privilege of giving out to anyone you want, or you can be a champ and do them both.

Five: Thumbs
This card is banked just like the shotgun card. At any point the person who has this card may put there thumb on the table and the last person to follow suit has to drink. The card is then discarded into the graveyard. In some cases this card is called the Thumb Master and if this is the case the card does not get discarded but there can only be one Thumb Master at a time.

Six: Rhyme Time
The person who draws this card says a word. In the direction of play, the next person has to say a word that rhymes. The person that can't come up with a rhyme in a reasonable amount of time or repeats a word has to consume. Please, don't be an ass and say words like silver, orange, or month, that's what the Ace is for.

Seven: Fuck You!
When this card is drawn the person says "one" and the person next to them says "two" and the numbers continue until you hit a number that (i) has the number 7 in it or (ii) is a multiple of seven. In this case, instead of saying the number you say "Fuck You!" and the direction of counting switches directions. Things to watch out for include the 27-28 double-fuck and the shouting match seventies.

Eight: Boxhead
A box of beer, dozens seem to work best, is either crafted into an amazing helmet of a shameful hat. When you draw this card you get to put it on your head thus becoming Boxhead. Make sure that the box still allows for downing alcohol though.

Nine: Drink Bitch
It's the drink bitches job to ensure that nobodies cup becomes empty. People kindly inform the drink bitch if they're running low or they can let them have it just for fun. Remember, be kind to your drink bitch because you may never know when you draw this card. Unless, they've all been drawn then fucking punish away.

Ten: Categories
Similar to Rhyme Time accept that instead of an initial word to start things off the drawer picks a category. Now people take turns listing things that fit under that category. Anyone that says one that's already been said or can't come up with something has to drink up.

Jack: Dicks/Gentlemen Drink
If you have a penis you drink. Simple as that.

Queen: Bitches/Ladies Drink

Girls' turns. If this card is called bitches drink it becomes perfectly legitimate to make the Drink Bitch drink too.

King: Sociables
Everybody drinks and is merry! Sociables!


I've put a lot more effort into this than I thought I would which is why I think I'm going to call these my own personal brand of house rules. If you see this exact set anywhere else you know that person that's posting is is a fucking thief! Unless I give them my written and/oral consent than it's all good.
